Following in the footsteps of escaping prisoners and those fleeing Nazi persecution during the Second World War, a 40-strong team of employees and friends of Childbase are undertaking a 5 day march across the Pyrenees.

The route known as 'The Freedom Trail' is a tough physical challenge with remote trails through beech forests, around rocky ridges and mountain lakes - reaching heights of 2522m - before a descent into Spain.

In tribute to those went before, the team will attempt the crossing with limited provisions, accommodation and food in an effort to raise as much money a possible for the Children's Air Ambulance.

Thank you for your support.
