Remote Supervision
Striking the right balance between independence and safety can be a difficult judgement call even with a recognised qualification!  How do you determine what is an appropriate level of supervision?  Why not talk to us about remote support for your expedition.  We would be happy to help with risk assessments, identification of hazards, technical skills input, isolating difficult navigational decisions and a range of other methods to ensure your expedition gets off on the good foot.
