Friends of SPRI Sponsored Arctic Dog Sledge
8th - 14th March 2010
The Arctic Dog Sledge Challenge is a great way to experience Arctic conditions and to work as a team with your dogs and like-minded people - and to support the Friends of SPRI. It is achievable by anyone who can reach reasonable fitness in time for the event and is a great way to raise money for a worthwhile cause.
See what our 2009 participants thought of their adventure. All the photos and video on this page were taken by previous participants, too.
The minimum recommeded donation is £500 over and above the actual costs of the trip (which are expected to be about £2500 in 2010 - making a total of around £3000).

Previous Events
The Friends' first dog sledging challenge took place in 2006 and is now a regular feature of the Friends' calendar and the generous sponsorship raised has been a huge boost to the charity. It proved to be so popular that in 2007 we ran two successful trips.
Our sledgers have enjoyed these events so much that in 2008 we convinced Across the Divide to organise an Extreme Trip for those who had already been on one of the regular challenges!
For trip reports and media coverage of these events, see To whet your appetite, the photographs and video on this page were taken by Friends Dog Sledgers - and there are more along with the accounts of some of our previous participants from the , and trips. News from the 2009 trip will be posted soon.
