I will definitely be there next year' 'On behalf of the Dublin Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team, I would like tosend our sincerest thanks to Across the Divide Expeditions for your generous donation'. Genevieve Ward, Treasurer. 'I cannot remember having written to an organisation before to comment on the level of service provided but after my experience it is certainly the correct thing to do. I am Managing Director of a hotel company and I am therefore fully aware of the problems and difficulties that can present themselves when dealing with a large group of people and the requirement to pull together various associates and service providers in order to seamlessly provide a high level of service which exceeds your client's expectations'. |
'I wanted to say a huge thank you to you both and all your teams for making our BIG BIKE RIDEs such a success this year. Every event has been impeccably run and we have been overrun with positive feedback at all 3 events with regards to how well organised each day has been'. Claire, NSPCC 'Well done to you and all your team My son and I joined in at short notice on Sunday and were made to feel so welcome. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The ride was great fun with FREE drinks, bananas and chewy bars along the route. Next time we'll bring a coach full!! Thank you and congratulations' Great fun – we’ll definitely be back next year!

You do not need an advanced medical degree to come on our courses but the level of training is pitched at participants with a strong medical background and an interest in wilderness and remote medicine. Expedition Medicine's clients have included the BBC, the Brazilian Government, Capital Radio and Raleigh International to name but a few. |
