Passion
Our aim is to show young people how to make better choices in life and how to lead more healthier, fruitful and productive lives. We achieve this through physical fitness, adventurous training and hiking expeditions in the UK and abroad. The trips we lead are to some of the most beautiful parts of the UK such as Snowdonia, Lake district and The Brecon Beacons. We also lead regular pilgrimage expeditions in Northern Spain on the Camino De Santiago.
