CHALLENGE THE WILD

& BLUE LIGHT HIKING

The PFOA has teamed up with Challenge The Wild to offer our members the
opportunity to attend wellbeing walks across the UK in 2023.

Blue Light Hiking provides all blue light employees access
to wellbeing walks. There events are designed to support
participants and offer real benefits. They focus on improving
the physical and mental well-being of participants, whilst
connecting like mind people and building team spirit in a
safe place.
The Blue Light Hiking team boasts years of experience
designing and delivering events; anyone can plan a hike,
but they plan each one as an opportunity for you to build
stronger connections with nature, with yourself, and
within a community.
All walks are guided by professional instructors who will
ensure you really benefit both physically and mentally, and
include a mental fitness workshop – and the best bit is that
they are free to attend for PFOA Members.
You may attend any walk (unless ringfenced); to book,
please visit Blue Light Hiking and mention you are a
member of the PFOA.

Challenge The Wild also offers the opportunity to attend
adventure retreats at Coniston, in the Lake District.
The company specialises in providing events to the blue
light community, and has run events which are unique,
raise profile, improve the physical and mental wellbeing of
participants, and build exceptional teams.
The events are an exhilarating and uplifting outdoor
experience. Under the watchful eye of highly-trained
instructors, participants are encouraged and empowered as
they take on a series of challenges, specially designed to take
them outside their comfort zone.
Before they know it, they’ll be facing fears and
achieving more than they ever believed they could. But
you don’t have to be fighting fit or as strong as an ox to take
