EXTRA-SPECIAL HIGHLIGHTS:

Nightstrider - the final hurdle!

The full route of the Nightstrider challenge - complete with timings, maps, pictures and plentiful pleas for people to join us on this mammoth adventure!


Back on the Border Ben

The latest journal entry from Ben's whistle-stop border tour. He went back to make a film about the projects the money from Nightstrider is supporting, and to say a big hello to old friends. The film's coming soon!


Nightstrider Training Walks

Feel to join in any of these, they're loads of fun... we've tried to plan them so you can stride with us for as long as you'd like, with easy access to tubes and trains when enough is enough! And, if you've missed any of the walks so far, with highlights and copious pics from each striding endeavour you can be sure to still feel every pinch of blistery pain and live every laugh of Nightstrider life from the comfort of your armchair... To find out why we're letting ourselves in for this world of pain, click right here.

Ben's Border Diaries

Ben lived in a refugee camp on the border from November 2004 to June 2005, and recorded his experiences in this journal, which traces the days before his departure right through to his last goodbyes in the camp. Go here for news, views and photos which help bring the border to life.


The Burma Ball

Back in 2004 Ben and friends organised a party to raise money for the refugee camp school Ben was going out to teach in. Here you can find photos and edited highlights (he wore spandex, for goodness sake) of a most memorable night which raised over £3000 for Yaung Ni Oo school.
