What's the Challenge?
A fun, twilight into the night, team-based orienteering walk, solving questions en-route, as you trek between checkpoints
Two routes to choose: short and long routes around 8 and 15 miles
Prizes - for most sponsorship raised and questions answered successfully
Free refreshments!
Why accept the Challenge?It’s great fun, exercise for both brain and body, and a terrific way to raise money for charities!
Many teams return every year, testing their skills at navigating new routes and answering challenging questions - especially as it’s dark!
Everybody’s a winner! Finishers are greeted with cheers, food and drink, and of course your Completers Medal
We'd love to see as many of you as possible join the challenge. So tell your friends, form a team, and let's make our 40th Anniversary Moonraker Challenge the best one yet!!!

Join Wrap Up!
Providing warmth to those who need it most. There are hundreds of people living on the street or in need. One of the most basic of needs at this time of year is warmth. You can help provide that by finding your long forgotten or unwanted coats hidden away in your hall cupboard or back of the wardrobe. We are not looking for money we just want your coats!Arc inspire has kindly agreed to act as our distributer. Their offices at 7 The Crescent, Taunton TA1 4EA are open between 8:30am and 4:30pm for collection. Simply pop your coats in a bag marked by gender and, if appropriate, age and take them along. That's it! One small thing that will mean the world to those who need it most.Don't delay - do it now!
