DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARD
Adventure Beyond has been working with groups doing their Duke Of Edinburgh Award since we were 1st set up.
We are specialist in canoe, kayak and walking expeditions all over the UK and for those who ‘think outside the box groups’ we run expeditions as far away as Africa and Nepal.
This in our experience is best kept to walking as the group get to learn the basic skills of Navigation and Camp craft.
Venue = in most cases we can run this in your area (with many ready risk assessed areas all over the UK.)
This is the time we like the groups we work with to be offered something different like the chance to Canoe.
This has proved that more of the young people then go on to do Gold which is our aim.
Modes of transport = Walking, Canoe, Kayaking, Sea Kayaking
Venues = this for cost effectiveness is best kept to the UK, but it is good to if the group do travel somewhere outside thier area. Such as:
River Wye
River Teifi
River Seven
CaladonianCanal
Brecon Beacons
Mid Wales
North Wales
Peak District
Lake District
Scotland
Ireland
Pembrokeshire cost
To mention but a few of the amazing UK venues
My phrase to people at this level is “THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER” if a group want to they can go anywhere they want.
I would encourage a group to think out side the BOX here and if we have worked with them before then they will do so.
We run many successful and challenging UK gold trips on LAND and WATER, both have there own challenges.
We also offer expeditions to many countries outside the UK, these are not ‘OFF THE SHELF’ expeditions, they are put together with the groups ideas.
