The South Downs National Park will play host to Walking With The Wounded’s latest adrenaline-fuelled challenge on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd September 2018: The Double Downs.                             

The two-day, 100 mile cycling challenge promises to be a truly spectacular event as cyclists take on the famous chalk hills from Winchester to Arundel alongside inspirational wounded servicemen and women - including some who have been part of the charity’s expedition teams to the North Pole, South Pole and Everest.                              

Riders taking on the Double Downs challenge will raise funds to support the UK’s most at-risk veterans, suffering from physical, mental and social challenges, to reintegrate into society and lead productive and fulfilling lives.                                

Entry to the Double Downs includes:                             

• Breakfast including coffee/tea at registration on the Saturday morning;
• Rider support throughout the event (feed stations on the route and marshall support at key junctions);
• BBQ dinner and drinks party on the Saturday night;
• Pre-erected tent, mattress & sleeping bag (individual sleeping compartment in shared tent)
• Overnight bag securely transported from the start to the overnight point and back again;
• Secure bike storage;
• Breakfast and coffee/tea on Sunday morning before depart;
• Double Downs commemorative t-shirt.

There will be an overnight stop in the beautiful Arundel Estate Park, with a fabulous BBQ feast and drinks in the tented village.
