Aim of the Expeditions Section

To encourage a spirit of adventure and discovery.

The Principles

All ventures involve self-reliant journeying in the countryside or on water, conceived with a purpose and undertaken without motorised assistance. The venture must present you with a challenge in terms of purpose, planning and achievement with minimum external intervention. It is more in keeping with the principles of this Section to choose an environment and form of travel where you can venture with relatively remote supervision rather than undertake a journey which, for safety reasons, requires more direct supervision.

Note: All our expedition work has to be to Wild Country Standard due to our location
