Thank you very very much for taking us on the trip. It was fantastic! I can't even name a favourite part because it was all great! One of the very useful things I learnt was how to read a compass and I will buy you one in Scotland to replace the one I accidentally broke. It was my favourite adventure I've ever been on."

An expedition usually seeks to achieve an objective, such as to survey a new trek route, or document findings of an area explored. Anyone can aim to join an expedition, if you have a sense of adventure
