Chasetrek
Chasetrek is an annual Youth Challenge Walk based around Cannock Chase in Staffordshire, England. It is a team event for those aged 14+ designed to encourage the qualities of leadership, initiative and teamwork under difficult conditions. It offers a weekend challenge to teams of three to navigate an unmarked route of at least 25 miles (40 km), entirely on foot, using map and compass, walking between a number of checkpoints given by Grid References on an O.S. map. At these checkpoints the teams will be further tested by a series of unusual incidents.
For details and information contact David Mayo on 01543 271182, Dave is a volunteer BB leader with the 1st Cannock.
There is also a one day challenge event for a limited number of teams aged 13 to 16, teams of four people.
