Your assessed Expedition will also be a 5-day programme. Day 1 will be an acclimatisation and route planning day before you head off on expedition for 4 days, 3 nights where you will camp at different remote sites each night.

We are able to accommodate participants needing to undertake their Training & Practice or Assessed on all expedition dates.

We are offering the following dates for Wild Country Expeditions in 2023: –

For participants living in Kent, we can offer the opportunity for you to travel to and from the expedition area with us on the day before / day after the expedition for an additional cost of £80 per expedition. This includes the cost of two extra night’s camp fees.
