By way of example, here is an expedition first in Yunnan (western China), that we are presently working on for a private group of intrepid clients.
2023 Expeditions (2024 schedule coming soon)

Our scheduled annual expeditions (with fixed dates) are open for everyone to join, and displayed here in chronological order. These fully supported expeditions are limited to a maximum of 7 guests, and, in nearly all cases, are personally hosted and led by our founder, Adrian Bottomley. While our annual schedule continually changes and evolves, every year these expeditions offer a distinctive blend of new and more challenging explorations, somewhat more technical treks, and one or two of our old favourites.
*Our fixed departure dates may not work for everyone. So for private groups, we are happy to try and arrange similar customised expeditions to suit your alternative dates.*
PERAMBULATING THE PYRENEES | FRANCE & SPAIN
Join a fully supported, small group trek to traverse the wonderfully wild western Pyrenees, on this personally guided hut-to-hut adventure across our favourite European mountain range.

Private Group Expeditions
The fixed departure dates of our scheduled annual expeditions may not always work for everyone. So, if you have a pre-arranged group of your own, we can customize a private expedition to suit the dates available to your group. These can duplicate (or build on) the design of our scheduled expeditions, call on our extensive portfolio of previous trips, or employ our expertise to create new and pioneering explorations.
*We are also happy to design custom expeditions affiliated for example with charity challenges, alumni groups , corporate employee engagement and various other clubs and organizations.*
A Few Previous Examples
We have successfully created (most often from scratch), delivered and led dozens of unique expeditions since we started in 2009. Asia has historically been our favourite adventure playground, but going forward, we are increasingly adding more global destinations. Below is a selection from our portfolio of previous trips, which we hope will provide a little inspiration.
