Expedition Area: 

Delivering a silver expedition can be done in local countryside and we work with clients to agree on suitable areas based on terrain, expectations, camping and transportation. Areas we recommend out of East Anglia are Chilterns, Shropshire Hills, South Downs, North Downs and Kent Downs.
