Absolutely bananas!!

Keen eyes may spot our legendary leaders amongst these photos. As we enter the week of our first Race the Sun of 2026, it feels quite fitting.

The countdown is on before we head to the South Downs and introduce our brand new location and route to Action Medical Research Events fundraisers.

We asked some of The Adventure Element team what their favourite rucksack was and why. From trusty Osprey Packs that see us through DofE expeditions to bringing The North Face with us on the fells and further afield.

What features of a rucksack do you look out for?

Next week we will be welcoming the first Action Medical Research Events fundraisers of 2026 to the Race the Sun series in the brand new location: the South Downs!

We are chuffed to see that the gender split for this event is 53% male and 47% female. With our recent efforts over the years to help break down barriers that may prevent some from signing up or even considering a triathlon event, this is a fantastic result.

Hiking, biking and paddling their way around the gorgeous South Downs coast, these participants are in for a real treat. Now to cross fingers for that famous southern sunshine!

Explored with us over the years?
If you have hiked, biked, paddled, abseiled, embarked on an epic expedition or hit the hills with The Adventure Element, we would like to ask you a favour...

We are turning our efforts to building up our reviews to help show those who may like to join us that we really are safe, fun and memorable to go on adventures with.

We would be hugely grateful for those who have explored with us to take the time to leave us a review about your experience.

Can you think of the last time you placed yourself outside of the comfort zone and how you felt after the experience?

It is important to get comfortable with being uncomfortable for many reasons. In fact, there are a lot of benefits to experiencing the simplicity of an expedition, feeling the gratitude of a warm place to rest and savouring a meal after a day's effort on the trail.

Our DofE manager Alex Knill writes about coping with limited luxuries on DofE expedition and how participants can reframe their mindset to not only survive, but thrive, during their DofE journey.

Sharing a handful of our favourite trails on from the beautiful Brecon Beacons to the jagged Jurassic.

Send our post to your walking buddy for your next explore or come along on one of our challenges this year. Mountain hikes or seaside wandering, escaping into lush green or heading lakeside... where is your internal compass leading you??

Pre-season prep meets family holiday!

The Forecast family are up in the Lakes helping Ben give the boat a run before our event season kicks off and teaching them young.

A shout out to WRS International for supplying the boat!

Sun safety is so often forgotten or underestimated when individuals head out to explore. An incredibly important and powerful campaign by Melanoma Fund and Mountain Training.

'What if mental health was built into adventure?'

A great question. One that the brilliant Grace Knill took the time to answer for us.
On DofE expeditions, we see young people relish the benefits of the outdoors and everything that comes with the sense of adventure. Grace explores how the '5 ways to wellbeing' structure perfectly aligns with the DofE journey.

Grace has a huge breadth of experience with young people and wellbeing and now sits as the creative and wellbeing programmes manager with Creative Health charity Pioneer Projects. Read our latest blog and let us know your thoughts on mental health and adventure going hand in hand!

'No Phone? No Way!' 'The double edged sword of phones on DofE expeditions' is the latest blog written by our DofE manager Alex.

Technology can be a hindrance or a help, used for good or a barrier to greatness. Through managing DofE expeditions and working with hundreds of young people, we have found the best replacement or distraction from phones is the outdoors.
