Congratulations to #TeamRaystede for completing this year's Wing Walk challenge!

Please click here to register your interest in the 2026 event (date TBC), or see our other events here.

As part of this challenge, you will get an exhilarating 10 minutes in the sky strapped safely to the wing of a plane. With breath-taking top speeds of 130mph and stunning views, nothing will bring you closer to the clouds than a wing walk.

Not for the faint of heart, this challenge is thrilling and extraordinary, but most importantly your support will help us to be there when the animals need us most.

To take part, we ask that you pay a £75 registration fee and aim to raise £800 for Raystede's animals.

Whether you sign up as an individual or as a team, we’ll be there to cheer you on and support you every step of the way, but you must be over 18 years of age and weigh less than 85kg to take on this exciting challenge.
