Teaching other keen explorers the basic expedition skills to confidently step into the unknown and experience remote and fragile environments is incredibly rewarding. Lessons learned on an expedition can and often do shape our future lives. We get so much, but what do we give back? In our expedition training, we emphasise a sense of custodianship when in the remote ecosystems we are lucky enough to tread. All the teams I work with at Turn Wild are passionate about instilling this in our team members. Feedback over the years has been exceptionally positive about this, with a real willingness from people to do more, which is fantastic. Expedition Training is June in Dartmoor (with Greenland module and wild camp), or Snowdonia (with high altitude module). Send me a message, and I will send you a brochure
