We have been delivering Duke of Edinburgh walking expeditions at Bronze, Silver and Gold level for over 25 years and were awarded The Duke of Edinburgh Approved Activity Provider Certificate in 2010.
We arrange and deliver all aspects of the expedition element, including all expedition notification paperwork thus lifting a considerable burden from the DofE co-ordinator.
We provide all personal and camping equipment for all participants which is ideal for low income families. All they need to provide is walking boots!
We have highly qualified staff, high staff ratios, and staff continuity throughout all the expedition stages. We also provide detailed classroom training.
We are offering a 10% discount on all Bronze expeditions with your first booking with us. For more information and some great reasons to choose Mountainwise please click here.

In my capacity as Gold and Silver Duke of Edinburgh Coordinator, I can thoroughly recommend the service provided by Mountainwise. They have been supremely efficient when it comes to organizing and planning for expeditions, and their long experience really shines through. Communication is good both during and before expeditions, and our students really benefit from the training days that Mountainwise provide. We are happy with the accessibility of the expedition locations, and training weekends are well managed. I can recommend Mountainwise without hesitation.

Mountainwise provide an outstanding programme by co-ordinating and running the expedition section of the award at Portland Place School. They guide and support students and staff throughout the process providing thorough information at the training day and expeditions. Mountainwise work closely with each individual to help them achieve their goals and alleviate their fears. The team at Mountainwise have been extremely helpful especially when needing advice. The service Mountainwise provide is well organised, efficient and reliable. I would thoroughly recommend Mountainwise to any prospective school or individual alike.

At Mountainwise we work alongside a variety of agencies to deliver the Wilderness Therapy Outdoor Residential element which forms a part of a wider therapeutic framework helping young people and families facing complex difficulties.
Being in nature is enormously therapeutic, and our mission is to share this incredible learning and life enhancing experience with people who have had very little opportunity or experience of being outside of the urban context, or have severe mental health issues. Walking in wild and mountainous areas of the British countryside can have an enormously uplifting effect on mental wellbeing.
Mountainwise offers a range of bespoke Wilderness Therapy Residentials which can include:
Coast and River activities - Coasteering, Canoeing, Improvised Rafting, Sea Level Traversing and Gorge Scrambling.
Mountain activities - Walking, Navigation and Mountain Skills, Bushcraft and Camping.
Climbing activities - Indoor and Outdoor Climbing and Abseiling.
