Join the Wall
Joe does the whole thing. You can join for a few miles, a long section, or just the final push into Newcastle.
Join the Wall
Although Joe will complete the entire journey himself, we don’t want him to do it completely alone.
Throughout Sunday 27 September, people can join selected sections of the route. You don’t need to walk the entire distance. You could join for a few miles, take on a longer section, join the final push into Newcastle, help with support along the route, or simply come down to the Tyne Bridge for the finish.
If you’ve travelled to Nepal before, with Alexander Adventures, another organisation or independently, we’d particularly love you to get involved. But you absolutely do not need to have been to Nepal. If you’re based in the North East, support Alexander Adventures, or simply want to help the people of Nepal, we’d love to have you involved.
Joining points
Several designated joining points will be available throughout Sunday 27 September. Joining points and participant timings will be confirmed once the final route, GPX, vehicle access and operational plan have been validated.
01
The first joining point of the day. Dark start, first light on the crags, and Joe already ten hours into the walk.

05

Still to be confirmed
Meeting point, arrival and cut-off times, Joe’s estimated arrival, distance and transport. We will email everyone registered as soon as they are.
06

Still to be confirmed
Meeting point, arrival and cut-off times, Joe’s estimated arrival, distance and transport. We will email everyone registered as soon as they are.
Each section will eventually carry its meeting location, participant arrival and cut-off times, Joe’s estimated arrival, distance, finish point, transport arrangements and an Alexander Adventures support contact. Anything not yet confirmed is labelled as such rather than guessed at.
If you walk
£250
This is not an entry fee.
Anyone joining one of the organised walking sections commits to raising or donating a minimum of £250. You can raise your £250 through sponsorship, donate it yourself, combine donations and sponsorship, or raise considerably more. The £250 is simply the minimum commitment.
Raise it
Collect £250 in sponsorship from friends, family, colleagues.
Donate it
Give the £250 yourself, in one go, when you register.
Combine the two
Put in what you can and raise the rest in sponsorship.
Go further
Plenty of people will raise well beyond £250. £250 is the floor.
That would be
£7,500
for Nepal, before Joe’s own fundraising, general donations and business support are counted. This is an illustration of what the commitment adds up to, not money raised.
The support operation
Alexander Adventures will provide the operational support for the challenge. The vehicles will leapfrog the route throughout, supporting Joe and moving participants between joining and finishing points. The operation carries food, water, hot drinks, spare clothing, lighting, communications, navigation, first-aid and emergency equipment.
