Heli Hike

Lace up your hiking boots, grab your friends and family. It’s time for Heli Hike in Sussex. Hike around the stunning Cowdray Estate, stride for the skies, and support your local air ambulance charity.

This year, we’re excited to introduce a fantastic Heli Fun Day. During this event, you can meet other emergency services, have fun with your loved ones, and learn about our lifesaving work before and after your hike.

Over 500 people in Sussex needed our life-saving care last year. Most of them had been involved in a road traffic collision or had experienced a medical emergency like a cardiac arrest or stroke. One day you or your loved ones could need us. With your support we’ll be there if you do. 

Without you, we can't keep flying saving lives

We loved Heli Hike 2022, and the 2023 one was even better! The kids had great fun and meeting the crew was amazing! Would recommend anyone tries it!​
Dan
I found all your staff, marshalls, etc, to be very friendly and a pleasure to talk to. I was interested in your response vehicle and had a nice informative conversation with a member of your team. The venue was good and I enjoyed the range of music.
