UAS Expeditions Winter 2007

In winter 2007, groups from three university air squadrons around the UK, a total of 38 participants, travelled to Sweden to take part in our Dogsled Adventure in Jämtland experience.

For each tour, the standard itinerary was adapted to suit the particular needs and wishes of the group. For example, one group decided to add training in winter mountain skills to the programme, and we were happy to arrange for a hands-on course to be delivered by a local expert in mountain safety and experienced expedition leader.

University Armed Forces

Nature Travels experiences are ideal for University Armed Forces groups, with unique and challenging wilderness experiences in summer or winter providing an exciting and unusual way to work on personal development and teamwork skills.

We are happy to adapt our standard experiences to suit the needs and wishes of your particular group, or to create a tailor-made experience for you. Itineraries and activities can be adjusted to include additional elements such as survival training, and for groups it is usually possible to arrange tours outside standard dates and seasons.

Comments from Cambridge University Air Squadron

"We had an absolutely awesome time. The whole expedition covered all and more of what we set out to achieve. Although not as physically challenging as we expected, the long days and selflessness of the whole experience (looking after the dogs before ourselves) tailored the week as being one of the best expeditions for personal development and social interaction I have ever taken part in.

From start to finish we needed to work together to make it a success and from the students' feedback of the whole event it was a great success. I have already been singing your praises and selling the experiences that you offer...So a very big thank you from Cambridge University Air Squadron to the guides Tommy and Fredrik, who were excellent.

More importantly a massive 'Thank you' to you. You were an inspiration. You were one of the most efficient and helpful people I have ever dealt with, you really made sure that this expedition went ahead without any problems."
