This section is designed to encourage a spirit of adventure and discovery.

There are two parts to all Duke of Edinburgh ventures, the journey and the purpose.  The journey is the physical, practical part of moving from A to B and camping out as a self sufficient group. The purpose is a 'study' carried out during the journey. Groups may choose to complete an Expedition (where more emphasis is placed on the journey) or an Exploration (where more emphasis is placed on the purpose)

The physical journey can take many forms.  Walking, cycling, mountain biking, canoeing and horse riding are a few of the more popular options. Whatever the chosen mode of transport, groups must be totally self sufficient, all camping equipment, food and personal equipment must be carried with the group.
