Quick evening jaunt down to the big city to attend the @Brit_exploring president’s address. @MarvinJRees inspirational talk on trust gave us lots to think about. Always great to see old friends and meet new ones. Brilliant evening! – at London, England

Our Year 12 students are working with Holly and Jo from @Brit_exploring to look at skills required on an expedition. Who will be brave enough to step out of their comfort zone and sign up for an adventure?
It was my pleasure to speak @HammersmithAcad alongside Holly from @Brit_exploring sharing my expedition experience & how that inspired me to do the work I now do! Please share/contribute towards my crowdfunder crowdfunder.co.uk/p/city-gir… 💚

After an equally challenging and inspiring time at @StGeorgesHouse with @Brit_exploring to discuss inclusion, welcome and sustainability. I've spent a few hours visiting my home town and the outdoor places that first inspired me! Much to think about.

…planning for the next generation, by looking at how best to ensure we can be the most sustainable we can be and also how we can improve inclusion in outdoor adventure, specially on expedition. Many inspiring conversations had at both locations! Thank you @Brit_exploring!
