Your support, knowledge and guidance was fantastic and I definitely would not have survived the week without it! I’m sure it’s not always easy to deal with grumpy and over tired adults, but your time and dedication is really appreciated!

Open Expedition Participant - Duke of Edinburgh's Award

What an amazing team. Whenever spirits were low you appeared as if by magic to encourage and support the team. You took the right steps to ensure our safety during shocking weather and make sure we were safe and well. Couldn’t ask for a better team and 'Your Adventure in Safe Hands’ the perfect motto for a great adventure company.
