Jurassic Coast Weekend Trek
This weekend trek challenge takes in the famous Jurassic Coast’s most spectacular scenery! With our friends at Discover Adventure you'll trek 23 hilly miles to beautiful Lulworth Cove, Dorset, finishing above the impressive stone archway of Durdle Door. It’s tough terrain, but knowing your efforts will be raising funds so Samaritans can be there for more people in crisis will help spur you on. Dinosaur remains are found here - it’s a fossil-hunter’s paradise! - and tales of shipwrecks and smuggling make for a fascinating trek along beautiful British coastline.
