News for June 2007

BSES reccy to Ladakh (21st Jun)
At the end of May, two members of the BSES (British Schools Exploring Society) set out on a reccy expedition for a possible expedition to Ladakh in India in 2008, which will be supported logistically by Adventureworks.
The aim of the expedition was to cover the planned route with both the side valleys of the main Nubra trekking route being explored, identify camp sites and set mountaineering objectives. All this was achieved despite the late snows and low temperatures.

The team are now putting together their reports to start the planning process with Adventureworks for the expedition in 2008.

If you are interested in joining this expedition visit their website.

Some photos from the expedition can be found in our photo gallery
