What are you looking to achieve in 2026??

The last day of 2025 has arrived!

There are so many highlights to choose from this year: team memories, participant achievements, fundraising goals blown out of the water, experiencing adventures, and all the benefits that come with that.

One particular success that we are incredibly excited about is nearing a 50/50 gender split in many of our events and seeing more women at our start lines. While on our DofE expeditions, we have seen an increased number of girls sign up.

Adventures and being active are often found on bucket lists and New Year's resolutions, and there is a worthwhile reason for it. Supportive networks are formed from these experiences, boosting confidence and a sense of belonging. All qualities that can lead to new friendships, career progression, and greater happiness over a lifetime.

As you look to 2026, think about what adventures you can embark on. Solo, with friends, or finding a new community, each experience makes for new memories, and who knows where it will take you...

The Adventure Element switches off for Christmas on Friday, and while there has been no rest for the wicked as we gear up for 2026, we have had time to reflect and celebrate the successes and memories of the year... we believe it's what Spotify refers to as 'Wrapped'!

2418 participants joined us this year, that is a lot of miles covered by participants who worked hard to fundraise, train, and show up in so many ways.

£1,551629.03 raised for charities that truly make a world of difference. We have loved working with our friends in the charity sector to help raise funds and awareness.

You can't put a number on the priceless memories made, nor the invaluable awareness spread for charities that are working incredibly hard to survive the turbulent economy and continue supporting those who need their help.

We are incredibly grateful for everyone who chose to challenge themselves on one of our events and for the extraordinary charity teams we have the utmost pleasure to work alongside in making the magic happen. All made possible by the hard work of our fantastic staff team, behind the scenes and out in the field. It's a beautiful thing! And truly reminds us why we love what we do.

Winter doesn’t need to slow your training down, although we admit the weather can definitely be a deterrent! You can make some small adjustments to help keep you moving through December and give yourself some time between the festive chaos. Why not try the '20-Minute Rule'?

Commit to just 20 minutes of movement a day. It keeps consistency, reduces any pressure, and helps maintain your fitness through this busy time in a manageable way.

Every short session adds up, and maintaining your strength in the months when cold and illness are rife is more important than ever.

Are snacks the secret to success?

Of course, there are numerous elements that contribute to a successful expedition. However, it's pretty likely that you and your teammates will perk up after elevenses or that much-anticipated chocolate bar. Boosting morale, energy levels, and enthusiasm makes for a much more pleasurable next leg of the journey and is an important action to remember!

* Try fuelling up regularly rather than waiting for hunger to strike.
* Choosing snacks that are slow-release helps keep you satisfied for longer and keeps you moving more efficiently.
* Have a loose plan of what snacks you will have for each day of your expedition. This helps ensure you have packed sufficient snacks and makes sure you eke out your snack supply.

What other snack rules do you follow for a successful expedition?
