JOURNEY OPTIONS

GET SOME MATES TOGETHER!

Got a friend or two or three who might be keen to do this adventure with you?

Get together a group of mates who also need to complete the same journey as you, and get in touch to organise a trip. Each programme requires a minimum of 4 participants and a maximum of 8.

Please note there is a “base fee” for each programme, regardless of how many participants there are. That cost is shared between the number of participants, so the more people you can get together, the less you will have to pay! (see Journey Cost section below).

So get a group together and get in touch!
