Expedition to Norway 2012
The area chosen, the Jotunheimen Mountains, lies between Oslo and Trondheim will provide ample opportunity for young explorers to experience real and memorable adventure and excitement. For example: by hiking, camping, mountain climbing, a water activity, maybe a scientific / cultural project and an adventurous challenge (an arduous trek, glacier walking, rafting down a wilderness river, or something else). There will also be the possibility to complete DoE components, to luxuriate in a 24 hour period alone in the wilderness (!), to experience different forms of travel, to meet the locals, to self-cater and become more self-reliant.

Are you a potential Expedition Leader?

By peter.tipling | Published: June 14, 2011

For over 40 years Yorkshire Schools Exploring Society has been able to organise expeditions in many parts of the world. Different people have different experiences of countries and expeditions and so our record shows expeditions of varying lengths in time, a wide spread of locations and a mixture of activities and projects. Our website should give you a real flavour of this. We are always interested to hear from people who may have something to offer in terms of expedition leadership and the possibilities of expanding the sphere of what we have to offer. Please do not hesitate to contact us just to find out more about the Society and send us your CV. If you express a definite interest and would like to know more, the Society will be pleased to arrange an interview.
