Frequently Asked Questions
How far are we walking / how long will it take?
Each day on a Bronze Expedition must encompass a minimum of 6 hours activity each day - That's not including anything at camp, but is including rest breaks, lunch, and working towards team goals. Usually, this results in journeys averaging around 10-12km (6-8 miles) - Although the occasional navigational error may add to this!
We find most teams easily manage to complete each day in just over 6 hours at a comfortable pace.
Will I be sharing a tent?
What if I don't know anyone on the Expedition?
Will I have my phone?
What will I need / I need help with gear - where will I find support?
How will I keep in touch with my child whilst they're on your Expedition?
