Are you planning an extraordinary travel experience, but don't know where to start? Or have you found yourself watching intrepid explorers conquering the world on television and thought, "I can do that?"? Is your heart pumping with inspiration, but your head still a bit worried about the practicalities?
Anyone can plan an expedition or remote travel - the real challenge is to take a journey that really makes a difference to you or the wider world. Travel is as much about learning from the people you meet along the way, as the places you will visit.
People from all walks of life and abilities are setting off on journeys many of us could of only previously dreamed about. These include walking across continents, driving through remote parts of the world to raise money for a good cause, cycling around the world, paddling across oceans, navigating intricate river crossings in a 4x4, or walking across Polar regions! Whether it is a solo journey or a team effort, or you want to get involved with a specialist project overseas, make sure you talk to our experts before you start out.
With help from the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) and adventure logistic specialists, Tour de Force, you will leave the show inspired, informed and able to take your own ideas forward safely, on time and in budget!
