The important part of planning an Adventure is ‘Research’

Thorough research is the crucial first step in planning any adventure. It lays the foundation for success, transforming vague dreams into actionable plans. By diving deep into the details, you uncover hidden gems, anticipate challenges, and optimize your Adventure for both safety and enjoyment. Whether you’re trekking through the wilderness, or embarking on a new ‘outdoor event’, thorough research empowers you to make informed decisions, enhancing every aspect of your adventure.

With every fact uncovered and every insight gained, your adventure moves from a dream to a well-planned reality, poised to be as rewarding as it is unforgettable.

• Match Adventures / Events to your skill set, ability, pocket and time
• Find out all you can about where you’re going
• Learn about the culture of your destination. Are travellers safe and welcome
• Travel Insurance, recommended vaccinations and medical kit
• Best time to go; climate, seasonal pricing, crowding?
• Pack light; suitability and essentials are key
• Documents, currency and tech equipment
• Don’t be shy in asking questions and trust your gut instinct.
• Make an effort to learn a few words of the local language, keep it simple. (The Welsh word for congratulations is Llongyfarchiadau)!

Your own Research is the foundation of a successful adventure. It ensures your safety, enhances your experience, helps you manage resources, and allows you to be a responsible and informed Hiker/ Trekker/ Adventurer or Ocean Rower. By investing time in research, you transform your adventure from a spontaneous idea into a well-planned and rewarding experience.
