Introducing the Cicerone School
Cicerone is supporting the Juniper Trust to rebuild Rawa Dolu School and provide a three classroom school and a toilet block for the 50 children in the village. Here's an update before work begins.
There are three prize bundles up for grabs, all with incredible prizes. Whether you'd like to trek to Everest Basecamp, explore the hills of Portugal or cycle through Jordan, we have something for all adventurers. Of course we will be giving the three winners a box of Cicerone guidebooks to help plan plenty of adventures for the future.
Thank you to our major sponsor KE Adventure Travel, who have supplied three incredible holidays, and all our competition partners. Please see below for full details of all the prizes as well as terms and conditions.
A chance to visit Everest Basecamp and to experience the wonderful mountain scenery of the Khumbu where the air is crystal clear and colourful prayer flags flutter from the rooftops. Providing outrageous mountain views and a wonderful insight into the way of life of the hardy Sherpas, this is the perfect trip for a first visit to Nepal and the Himalayas.
A great short break which incorporates sightseeing in Lisbon with a personal guide and walking in the Sintra hills between magnificent palaces and along the awesome Atlantic coast. On this 5 day holiday you will spend two nights in both Lisbon and Sintra allowing you plenty of time to absorb the local culture and sample the region's cuisine. Your walks will take you to the most western point of Europe, Cabo da Roca, through forests and over rolling hills to unveil spectacular palaces, plus you will explore the historic streets of Lisbon accompanied by your own tour guide.
Ticking off many of Jordan's highlights, this is a superb cycling holiday and completes a logical and quite continuous north to south journey. It is a thrilling journey, full of geographical and cultural splendour, as we cross the amazing Kingdom of Jordan. On this superb mountain bike ride we encounter many of the ‘must see' locations of this engaging country and also experience its warm and traditional hospitality.
A full walking or trekking outfit from Craghoppers worth around £200.
