A TRAIL TO REMEMBER

THE JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME

This is an accessible challenge that can be enjoyed as a solo adventurer or with your family, for a weekend, a week or longer, according to your abilities and timings. 

The Western Front Way offers a unique way to fundraise for military and other charities and could inspire your chosen organisation, family and friends to be part of this modern way to remember.

It’s an opportunity to explore your own family stories.

The hike and the bike trails are similar but not identical, due to terrain and accessibility. The app offers content for both trails but they vary dependent on where and how you choose to travel.
