THE SOMME BATTLEFIELD HIKE
Some walks are enjoyable. Others help you understand history in a way that books never can.
Join Ant Middleton on an unforgettable journey through the battlefields of The Somme, following in the footsteps of the soldiers who fought and sacrificed during one of the most significant campaigns of the First World War.
Over three powerful days, you’ll hike across the historic landscapes of Northern France, exploring the battlefields, memorials and cemeteries that tell the story of courage, endurance and sacrifice.
Along the way you’ll visit:
-
A 3 day 90km hike visiting the best sections of the Western Front Way.
-
Be part of history, as we return the 1916 Lamp Light of Peace from where it came.
-
Visit key battle sites and pay your respects at the Menin Gate.
-
Remember those who fought that day and made the ultimate sacrifice.
-
Help raise vital funds for our current veteran community.
-
Gain knowledge in Military Mindset and Resilience from Ant Middleton, as he takes every step with you to mark the occasion.
You’ll also take part in remembrance services at key locations, paying tribute to those who gave everything during the Great War.
What makes this experience truly unique is that Ant Middleton will be with you throughout the expedition. As you walk together, he’ll share lessons in resilience, leadership and mindset drawn from his military career and life experiences.
