we solve problems
Organising your own school or college expedition can be more challenging than the trip itself. There are so many logistics involved: finding the right route, booking accommodation, transferring kit if you’re not carrying it, getting back to the start, not to mention all of the important documentation required. That’s where Lakota-Expeditions come in. We help you solve problems so that you can focus on enjoying the build up (stress free) and then your planned adventure with complete peace of mind. We've picked three outstanding expeditions and we'll guide you through every aspect of your trip from start to finish. We’ll help you decide which expedition is right for you and once you commit, we’ll be with you every step of the way. And the lead staff members joins free of charge, making the expedition affordable for everyone.
guided & supported
All of our expeditions are guided. This means that each group, of up to 8 cyclists, will have a fully qualified and experienced leader who will (literally) guide you along the route and do all of the things that you’d expect from someone taking on this role. Your expedition guide will be responsible for all aspects of your trip and whilst their primary role is closely linked to safety, of course, their remit extends to making sure everyone has a truly magical experience, in line with the aims of the particular expedition that you’re on.
All of our expeditions are supported too, so in addition to your expedition guide leading you, on the ground, your expedition will also benefit from having a dedicated and well equipped support vehicle and driver. This means that we have real flexibility and peace of mind, should we encounter a mechanical or if someone is struggling.
OUR WHY
We believe that remarkable things happen when we find the courage (and time) to depart from the ordinary and commit to an adventure. Our experience has shown us that regardless of our backgrounds, an adventure sparks in each of us, inspiration, innovative thinking and fresh perspectives. It creates deeper connections with nature, those around us and of course ourselves. We believe that the benefits of exploring the unknown, risking uncertainty and pushing ourselves extend far beyond the immediate experience.
OUR WHAT
Lakota-Expeditions was born out of a deep rooted desire to explore wild places and a relentless obsession to create exceptional cycling adventures. We're dedicated to inspiring and helping those who want to explore further. We draw from over 20 years of cross discipline expedition experience, in some of the most remote and hostile environments in the world, to offer a range of exceptional guided cycling expeditions in the UK and abroad.
