You must do two expeditions, a Practice Expedition and a Qualifying Expedition which is monitored by an assessor.
A Gold Expedition consists of a four day and three night hike, covering about 80km. It's physically challenging but you don't have to be incredibly fit to do it!
As long as you get a bit of practice walking in beforehand anyone will be fine. The expeditions are a great experience and really good fun!
You are completely self sufficient for the four days, carrying all of your Food, Clothing, Tents etc. However, the campsites all typically have water supplies and showers! You walk in groups of between 4 and 7 people.

We organise both the practice and qualifying expeditions each Summer, the dates are below. We do all of the legwork and paperwork for you, so you just have to worry about your route and food! If you don't have all the kit, we can provide it free of charge. The expeditions are heavily subsidised, meaning they're about 2/3 cheaper than doing it with another provider!
