Resilience in life is so important- on expedition it gives

1. Physical Challenge & Mental Growth
Expeditions often push individuals beyond their comfort zones—physically, mentally, and emotionally. When you are faced with the unknown, navigating discomfort, fatigue, and adversity, it forces you to tap into your inner strength. This can rebuild or reaffirm resilience because the experience teaches you how much more you’re capable of.

2. Escaping Routine and Stagnation
For many adults, an upcoming expedition is a “kick in the ass” to step up their game after getting into a rut. Once this is achieved the budding explorer regains a higher level of confidence and belief in themselves.

3. Reconnecting with Purpose
This sense of purpose, having a goal, and being on a mission can reignite that sense of adventure and determination that fuels resilience. I simply love pre-expedition build up- being on the same path as your team- moving forward together gives a great sense of worth.

4. Overcoming New Types of Challenges-build confidence
Learning new expedition skills and implementing them builds resilience. The team is stronger - has more depth. You believe in yourself and the team more enabling a more positive mindset when the going gets tough. You don't get this with group sunbathing - you need a challenge and an expedition over days or weeks will definitely provide ample opportunity for this growth.

5. Mental Toughness
Resilience isn’t just about physical endurance; it’s also about mental toughness. Adults who take on expeditions can develop better emotional regulation, stress management, and problem-solving skills—why? You simply have to! You can't call a chopper simply because you have a “sad on”. We all want life going “hunky dory” and if it is an expedition is a very rewarding way to check “you still have it” in a very rewarding way

76 The team
Strong friendships are formed when a team successfully supports each other toward a goal. It is a very rewarding experience- the greater the bonds of friendship and trust the greater the resilience of the team.

I am excited to announce that Turn Wild has officially been awarded the AALA (Adventure Activities Licensing Authority) license. This is a huge milestone for our company and reinforces our commitment to delivering safe, professional, and unforgettable adventure experiences.
At Turn Wild, we’re passionate about helping young people develop resilience, confidence, and a sense of adventure through meaningful outdoor challenges—or, more simply, "helping them Turn Wild."
Looking ahead, we’re preparing for some fantastic projects:
Dartmoor training and a Scotland expedition in 2025
Snowdonia training for a Toubkal ascent in 2026, working with two incredible schools
A big thank you to the Turn Wild team and especially to James Dyer, whose expertise and guidance have been instrumental in achieving this milestone. We can’t wait to continue inspiring and empowering young people through the outdoors!

Expedition Training

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
