These are just some examples of ideas for aims. You and your team should create an aim that is personal and interesting to you – and suitable for your expedition area and mode of travel.
Teamwork
- Create a card for each team member at the end of your expedition, saying why they added to the teams success
- Produce a 'top-tips' guide for working as a team on horseback
- Write a play script which represents your team experience and perform it as your expedition presentation
- Make notes of your team experiences and present it in the form of a radio broadcast
Environment
- Investigate dams in the Pennines and describe their purpose
- Explore unspoilt beaches and record sea life that you spot
- Note plants you see en route and which ones are medicinal or can be eaten
- Create some artwork to demonstrate the different wildlife and environment you can see on horseback compared to on foot
History
- Travel between historical monuments or buildings and investigate their previous use or function
- Find and record examples of ancient constructions, such as bridges and dry stone walls
- Investigate civil war battle sites and learn about the use of the cavalry
- Plan a route to visit and photograph old villages in Scotland
Culture
- Explore the use of horses in current farming practices
- Produce a poster to promote your route to other visitors
- Cook food from different cultures and compare the flavours
- Take photographs of your horses and each other and exhibit them at your presentation
