Challenges
LOST!
Get lost and Hitch Your Way Home! Raise money for our charity of the year, Samaritans, by hitching your way back to campus from an unknown location! You will be driven off campus with your team on a blacked out bus, and your challenge is to get inventive and get creative by finding you way home with no money and no phone within 24 hours- that could be hitch hiking or even blagging a free bus/train journey! Complete challenges on the way to get bonus time reductions and be the quickest team back to base to win prizes! Feel up to the challenge? Come along to our info talks on Penryn and Woodlane Campuses for more information. Both Falmouth and Exeter students welcome!

Mount Everest Base Camp
This year FXU RAD, in partnership with Choose a Challenge and Action Against Hunger, are bringing you a once in a lifetime opportunity to trek to the famous Everest Base Camp
Your journey to the Everest Base Camp will begin in Kathmandu, Nepal’s vibrant capital and takes you via a twin-engined plane to Lukla, the gateway to the Khumbu region. From here you will continue on your trek into the heart of the Nepali Himalaya, taking in some spectacular scenery along the way. The main highlight on your journey to Everest Base Camp will be the majestic snow-capped peaks that line the steep-sided valleys, and the jaw-dropping views that await you at almost every turn. Few feelings can compare to looking up in awe at the world's highest peak.

The marathon itself runs through the narrow streets to the sounds of raucous crowds, DJs, bands and fireworks combine to create an exciting party atmosphere along with your route. With a starting time of 8.30pm on the Saturday evening, you should be finished well in time for a celebratory drink in this lively Basque city.
