“One does not simply walk into Mordor.” Long distance expeditions have never been a case of just blindly walking from one location to another. As well as the physical, it requires a panoply of mental skills that cannot be downloaded as an app. Our Trail Exploration Programme will equip participants with the knowledge and techniques to confidently read maps, handle a compass, and utilize navigational skills. The participant’s problem solving and decision making skills will be put the test before being opened to the possibilities of transferring these to everyday life.
