Dentaid invites you to take part in The Three Tremors challenge (9-14 September 2006). Following 2004's successful Dentaid Trek along the Great Wall of China, the charity's next challenge is in Italy, offering an opportunity to experience some of the most exhilarating natural phenomena on earth. The first day of trekking is up Mount Vesuvius, responsible for the catastrophic eruption that buried nearby Pompeii in AD 79 The team will then sail overnight to Stromboli for the climb to the summit of its volcano, which is still active and dominates the small island. In the evening there will be an opportunity to take a boat trip to watch the explosions against the night sky. On day four there is a hydrofoil transfer to Randazzo, Sicily, which dates from medieval times and is built entirely of lava rock. On day five, the team will trek up Mount Etna to the rim of one of the highest and most unpredictable of all the volcanoes. At the end of the trek there will be a transfer to the coastal town of Giardini Naxos for an overnight hotel and a celebratory dinner. Dentaid is one of the leading oral health charities in the world, improving the dental services and education of millions of people in almost 50 countries by equipping regional treatment centres, promoting school education programmes and training key workers.
