The Grimsdyke Hykes are open to Scouts, Explorer Scouts, Guides and Ranger Guides.  There are two events, each tailored to the capabilities of the participants.

 Seniors: a two-day challenging camping hike for those aged up to 18.  There are two classes:

 Open Challenge Fox’s Trophy for Explorer Scout and mixed Explorer Scout/Scout/Ranger teams of three, four or five aged up to 18

 Senior Scout Challenge Shield for Scout/Explorer Scout/Guide teams of three, four or five aged up to 15

The hikes aim to test your navigational skills.  You will visit a number of control points as quickly as possible.  The distance on both days is about 25km.  You carry overnight kit on the first day. You leave it behind on the second!  You need to be self sufficient in terms of food and equipment.
