We don't include campsite fees or food costs in our pricing as we believe that each group should be allowed to budget for themselves and organise their own campsites. We will be available at route planning stage to offer advice on food choices.

All groups at this level need to fully versed in first aid techniques and as an addition to the normal package we offer a day of first aid aimed at Duke of Edinburgh's Award groups. They leave the course with an HSE recognised EFAW qualification which is valid for 3 years and will mean that if they come into any difficulties whilst on expedition they will have the skills to help themselves.
