I haven't but know a few people who have done the one in Iceland (and loved it) 
The only thing I'd say about the sponsorship target, is that the people I know paid for the whole trip themselves using savings. They treated it as a nice riding holiday that they wanted to go on anyway, and didn't think anyone else should pay for what is essentially a really nice trip for them. Yes, it will have costed more than if they'd done it as a holiday rather than through the BHS, but as they could afford to do it the money going to help the BHS was an added bonus. I agree with their mindset, and definitely wouldn't sponsor someone to go on a BHS ride - I suppose if you did a cake sale or something to raise money, I'd be more willing to support that than just a donation. Just my 2p's worth anyway
