Small Group Bespoke Open Expeditions
These are perfect if you already have a team and perhaps the start of an idea. This approach will be bespoke to your group size and needs. Whether this be pushing the boundaries in terms of location or the level of adventure, or just tailored more towards your groups level of ability.
Why not take the opportunity to make this more than just a “DofE expedition”, we can work with you to add a B&B and train station transfers to the start of your expedition? Or maybe end your trip with a day’s stand-up paddle boarding and a celebratory meal out!
