We are specialists in canoe, kayak and walking expeditions all over the UK.
We provide a professional service to your group and offer the following;
The bronze award is the entry level of the award, and the focus here is on foundation outdoor skills such as navigation, safety awareness, logistics and planning. In our experience the ideal expedition at this stage is hill walking as the group get to learn the basic skills of navigation and camp craft, as well as group management.
Venues: In most cases this can be run in your local area, we already have numerous risk assessed areas all over the UK.
By this stage most groups have a good idea of their chosen expedition but the silver award phase provides an ideal opportunity for the participants to consider a different activity. Why not try canoeing or kayaking as an alternative activity at a totally new venue. We have seen an increase in recent years of full award completion (bronze through to gold) and we feel this is due to our progressive approach to the award. Our aim is to retain the interest of the participants so that even more of them go on to acheive Gold.
Types of expedition - Walking, Canoe, Kayaking, Sea Kayaking

We are always open to new ideas, so don't be afraid of thinking outside the box here, if we have worked with your group before we know you won't be!
