WHY JOIN BATH CHALLENGE?

This is your chance to be part of something bigger. Whether you want to push your limits, meet like-minded people, travel the world, or make a real difference, Bath Challenge is where it starts. This is where ordinary students do extraordinary things. Junko Tabei, the first woman to summit Mt Everest, with gear she made herself, said, "Do not give up. Keep on your quest.". We at Bath Challenge aim to live up to those words, it's that simple.
