This time the destination is captivating Cambodia, and the date is November 2022. This is the fifth trek to raise funds for St John's.

Cambodia is known for its rich history, the kindness of its people, stunning landscapes and the breath-taking wonder of the world that is Angkor Wat, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

St John's is calling for people to take part in a genuinely unforgettable experience that will see participants take on a 9-day challenge crossing hills, valleys, forests, fields, rivers and historical sites to finish this epic journey at Angkor Wat.

So, why would people take on such a challenge? Catherine Butterworth, director of income generation, said: "Supporters take part for a variety of reasons. It may be because a member of their family or a friend has experienced the care and compassion of St John's in the hospice or via the Hospice at Home and clinical nurse specialists who provide palliative care in patients' own homes.

Is trekking a thing you can do, then? I'd be worried about, y'know, landmines.

People trek all over the country. Some areas are not recommended but they tend to be remote parts near the Thai border.

Will they be issuin' tourist visas in Nov 2022?
Do the St John people know something that we ordinary people don't?
