Destination Inspiration....

A 10 - 12 day adventurous expedition for 12 year old boys to involve a challenging trek followed by a few days R&R. Nepal, Namibia, Vietnam and East Africa were considered. The teacher in charge of the trip was an experienced Mountain Leader with previous school expedition experience, nevertheless, with such young children, the itinerary, acclimatisation, preparation and safety management had to be first class.

We have seen so many amazing sights, amazing sounds and been up and down a beautiful but challenging mountain! As one boy said to me today 'being on holiday with my Mum and Dad will never be the same again!'
