On Foot

You 'll gain the skills to be a valued expedition team member.  Whether you develop a talent for navigation or a flair for camp cooking you'll develop skills that will be essential to the success the expedition. During you training we'll cover the following subjects.

• Weather, clothing and equipment 
• Navigation, planning and route cards 
• Camp craft, cooking and nutrition
• Environmental knowledge 
• Hazards and emergency procedures 

There are lots of 'hard' skills to cover but more importantly you'll be developing your interpersonal skills and new communication techniques.  It's the 'team' that will make your expedition a success or failure.  A strong and cohesive team will overcome any lack of technical skills.

Meet Your Expedition Team

We’ll make it easy for you to meet everyone before the expedition so you can set your expedition aim, start planning and complete route cards. You’ll be a team before you even set foot on the hills!
