Pre expedition weekends (14th Mar)
The majority of our teams are now completing their pre-expedition weekends in preparation for the summer. We have had groups in Scotland practising winter skills, others at Thornbridge learning the values of team work on the low ropes and sky ropes and even groups spending the night in hammocks in preparations for the jungle! You can see photos of many of these weekends on our photo gallery.
