Do you fancy visiting the edge of the Arctic circle?
East Cheshire Hospice still has a few places left on its Iceland adventure between November 13-18 next year.
The three-day trek is graded moderate to challenging with walkers covering an average of 12 kilometres a day over varying terrain.
The journey ends with a chance to explore Reykjavik, the world’s most northern capital.
The hike visits active volcanoes and lava fields, bubbling mud pools and hot springs.
The natural wonders of Iceland.
Walkers will also travel along the fault lines between Europe and America, with a chance of seeing the Northern Lights.
Three open evenings at the Hospice on Tuesdays Sept 12 and 19 and Monday, Sept 25 (all at 7 pm) will be a chance to learn more details.
People can attend one of the sessions without booking or email events@echospice.org.uk for more information.
Hospice Community and Events Assistant Nik Kalka said: “Iceland is known as the ‘Land of Fire and Ice’ because of its breathtaking natural landscapes.
Fundraiser Nik Kalka.
“It’s the trip of a lifetime and at the same time it’s a great way for walkers to support the Hospice.”
The entry deadline is November. A full breakdown of costs and fundraising, as well as testimonials from previous trek participants, will be given at the open evenings.
