Adventures with CAFT
We’ve joined forces with out friends over at CAFT to provide opportunities for supporters to access a range of new Challenge Events. From The Great Sri Lanka Tuk Tuk Adventure to hiking the hills of Wales, Cycling around Isle of Man or the Lakes of Italy. Canoeing and Walking Coast to Coast in Scotland or trekking the Italian 3 Peaks, challenge yourself whilst enjoying the great outdoors.
Sri Lanka Tuk Tuk Race – March 2025
This Adventure is the ultimate road trip for those who like their travel fully-charged and no-holds-barred. Each day you’ll wake up, be told a destination you need to be
at by sundown, get handed a list of challenges to complete along the way and the rest is on you. No GPS, no mercy. Challenge yourself against the elements and the unknown on one of the most exciting island nations on earth.
The Sri Lanka Tuk-Tuk Adventure is not a race – it’s an Adventure.
The format of the Adventure has been put together in such a way that speed should not be your number one priority. During the day, you’ll be set checkpoints to reach and challenges to complete, and it’s up to you and your teammates to come up with the best way to get it done. During the evenings, whether you’re camping next to a remote lake or nestling into a boutique hotel, you’ll be toasting your success and swapping the day’s stories with your fellow adventurers. And trust us, will there be stories!
Watch this video to get a feel for what you’ll experience or, see what previous tuk tuk’ers have to say here.
…and if that’s left you wanting more, then take a look at some amazing pics from previous trips.
