CAMINO TREK

Retrace ancient steps as you walk to remember

The Camino is about the journey and offers you the opportunity to challenge yourself, reflect and make new memories whilst raising funds for Martlets.

Taking on a challenge like this can be a spiritual experience for those who wish to walk in memory of someone cared for by Martlets. For others it will be the physical challenge and sense of community the calls to them.

Join #TeamMartlets and trekkers from other charities as we spend 5 days trekking 115km through northern Spain as together we take on the legendary Camino de Santiago (Way of St James).

Frequently asked questions

The minimum age is 18 (or 16-17 if accompanied by a parent/guardian). There is no upper age limit.

An ideal candidate is someone who is open minded, positive, flexible and enjoys the challenges of the great outdoors. Adventure travel involves elements of the unexpected so do not expect the standards to be the same as you are used to at home. Remote areas are sometimes unpredictable (be it because of group pace, weather conditions etc.) and itineraries may be altered to allow for this. You must also be willing to train hard for this challenge!

If you do not already regularly exercise you should aim to start training (including plenty of hills) as early as possible. The best training is hill walking, which will prepare you for the type of terrain you will experience. Other activities which can complement hill walking include running, cycling, gym workouts, boot camps etc.

Building up your core and leg muscle strength is important so exercises such as squats, lunges, push-ups, planks and crunches will really enhance your training. These exercises can be done at home – no gym needed. You can download a number of free apps, which will help you train and track your progress, e.g. MapMyWalk, C25K (couch to 5k run), MyFitnessPal (for a variety of sports).

You must take your training seriously and arrive as fit as you can be, so you get the most out of this challenge.
