And so it with some excitement that we get ready to begin this years expedition training as we kick off this Sunday (8 January 2017).

The Silver and Gold Participants begin their training with an 8 hour first aid course to prepare them to deal with any first aid they may encounter when they are on their expedition.

A small number of Bronze Participants are beginning their training at the same time due to being unable to make the planned sessions. Kevin Nutt is running this session on his own and so this is by prior arrangement only and is now full.

The rest of the Bronze Participants begin their training on 19 January 2017.
