Machu PiGchu: Getting to Know Samantha Nuckey
In October, a team of brave PiGs will take on the iconic Inca Trail in Peru, all in aid of our Charity of the Year, Harry’s Pals.
In this series of articles, we’re introducing you to the people behind the challenge, finding out a little more about what inspired them to take part, how they’re preparing for the adventure and what they’re looking forward to most.
This article is all about Samantha. We caught up with her to find out more about their Machu PiGchu journey…

Why did you sign up for the Inca Trail?
Seemed like a good idea at the time and a long way off! A couple of glasses of wine may have helped influence this perspective!
What are you most looking forward to?
Camaraderie of the team and making a difference to Harry’s Pals.
Definitely not looking forward to the walking and the steps!
What are you most nervous about?
The enormity of the challenge overall. Once we start, we are all in!
How’s the training going?
Less prep than I had planned but focussed on fitness and training the last few months and completed the Yorkshire 3 peaks so feel I am on track as best as I can be with a job that requires +8 hrs at a desk
What does Harry’s Pals mean to you?
An amazing charity that makes a real difference to families that need that extra support as parents or siblings
Describe the challenge in three words
Exhilarating. Gruelling. Unforgettable
