About Tall Stories
Tall Stories specialises in charity
fund-raising events, corporate
events and group events, in the UK and Europe.
Over the past 11 years we have built up an excellent
reputation within the charity fund raising market,
organising fun yet challenging events. We offer a
wide choice of Open
events and bespoke events, from the relatively
easy to the very challenging, from the top of Scotland
to the south of Spain, all of which have a suitable
objective or theme to make them sponsorship worthy.
We divide our events into small group guided events and large group non guided events, across almost all of our sports. On a guided event you will have 10 people of a similar fitness and skill to one Tall Stories guide.
See our section on Benefits if Having a Guide.
On non-guided events the route will be marked up rather than guided, of a lower budget and relevant for groups of over 100 people.
We only run Tall Stories
inspired and organised events - we don't sub contract
and we don't "broker" for anyone else. So
you can be sure that any Tall Stories event will be
cost-effective, professional, unique and not available
anywhere else.
Tall Stories started out life as an adventure sport
holiday company offering such "extreme" sports as
canyoning, scuba diving, paragliding, mountain biking,
etc. To do any of these sports you need a healthy
respect for safety.
Since 1998 we've also organised charity challenges
and these are now our main area of business.
The Tall Stories charity challenge team is made up of a core of event organisers and managers supported by a pool of British and local guides, mechanics, drivers, etc. We also have a fleet of trusty minibuses which we use as support vehicles around Europe.
Depending on
the skills needed to run an event, we will put together
the perfect mixture of organisers, guides, medics,
back stops, vehicles, etc to really give you a trip
to write home about.
 The
Top 8 Challenges
Over the last decade these 8 challenges have consistently
proved themselves to be winners with both charities
and participants alike. If your charity is looking
for an established event with a proven track record
then these could be for you.
Trek Challenges
Our comprehensive list of all our trekking challenges
stretching from the Scottish borders to Mount Olympus
and everywhere inbetween.
Cycling Challenges
London to Paris? Cross the Alps? Pyrenees MTB? Tour
de France? These are just some of our fantastic on-road
and MTB cycle challenges.
Winter Challenges
Outdoor fundraising events in the winter - is that
a good idea? It is when it's a Ski & Snowboard
Charity Challenge! These events are hugely popular
with a wide variety of people but especially the ABC1s
for whom fundraising is often easiest.
Multi
Sport Challenges
Challenge your fundraisers to the full outdoor experience!
Mix trekking with mountain biking, canoeing, orienteering
and much more...
Loyalty (Long Term) Challenges
Build a real long term relationship with your fundraisers
by setting challenges so big that they just can't
be knocked off in a long weekend. (Raise more money
too!). How about a bit of Munro bagging over a few
years? Or cycling John O'Groats to Lands End over
3 months?
Adventure Races
These are fantastic events where you or your team
are not only facing the challenge of a life time but
you're also competing against everyone else for the
grand prize! Races are available in the UK and in
Europe and can combine trekking, biking, canoeing
and more...
Other Challenges
If it doesn't fit into the other categories then it
goes here. If you're looking for something very different
(or very difficult) then you could find it here!
