The journey

What the journey involves

You’ll plan your route, carry your equipment, cook and camp as a team, navigate for the required hours each day and complete the journey with a shared goal in mind.

Southbound provides the preparation, field support and structure so the group can take real responsibility safely.

First time

What to expect on your first journey

Day one usually feels new. Packs feel heavy and decisions take longer.

By day two, most groups are moving with more confidence and making better decisions together. That shift is the point of Bronze.
