DofE Manager, Sir Thomas Riches’ School

Off Grid Adventures has been a pleasure to work with from start to finish. From the initial tender process to adapting to our students' specific group needs they have been brilliant. Their management as a company has meant liaising with them over logistics has been incredibly easy whilst their navigation and mountain knowledge is superb. As a DofE manager, it has been great working with them as our gold cohort has got too large to manage during expeditions. They were incredibly personable and, given that I am a hands on DofE Manager, they did not mind my presence across the camps and hikes throughout the expeditions. Given the positive feedback from our students as well as the overwhelmingly enjoyable expedition I had as a manager it was not questioned that we would be using Off Grid Adventures again and we would recommend you do too.
