• Students will then embark on their Adventurous Journey and learn, develop and practice these skills as well as those important soft skills, whilst on Expedition.

Expedition Log and Notes on the Expedition

During Preparation & Training and whilst on the Expedition students will be required to write and collect information that will allow them to submit a Journey Report when they return.  It is important that students come prepared with:-
