And that's how you celebrate...

We love seeing loved ones greeting participants over the finish line, and its even sweeter when they are armed with flowers and fizz!

Taken on Race the Sun Jurassic, these ladies knew how to wrap up their triathlon in style!

- Armed with a map and compass and perhaps the biggest bag you've ever had to carry.
- Battling between nervous energy and the boost of having your teammates by your side.
- Wondering how the next couple of days are going to go and if your kit that has been begged, borrowed and chosen is all going to survive the elements.

A scenario that many of us will have experienced when facing their first DofE expedition. Do you look back on those memories with a wry smile remembering anecdotes and lessons learnt along the way? In fact, the unknown and the slight discomfort we felt led to brilliant memories and personal growth.

A recent snapshot of some of our DofE instructors rocking the new kit!

Chuffed with our The Adventure Element-branded Montane t-shirts and tops freshly supplied for this summer.

We are all catching our breath throughout August after a busy couple of months of DofE expeditions, corporate challenge days, and charity events across the country. However our kit will be dusted off in time for an action-packed September!

It's brilliant seeing such an array of ages and demographics at our Race the Sun Action Medical Research Events.

As part of your DofE journey, you’ll be spending time outdoors, exploring and enjoying the natural world.

It’s your responsibility to help protect the beautiful landscapes, wildlife, and communities you encounter. Simple action such as closing gates behind you to keep animals safe, or sticking to marked paths to avoid damaging habitats make all the difference. In fact, there are many ways you can have a positive impact while out on expedition.

When you're out exploring, it's important to respect the environment. Here are a few key parts of the Countryside Code to keep in mind;
1. Leave gates as you find them
2. Leave no trace
3. Respect livestock
4. Stick to the pathways
5. Follow the signs

Learning navigation is a key part of your Duke of Edinburgh’s Award journey. It takes time and practice to build up your confidence with a map and compass but the more you do it, the better you’ll get. Practice makes perfect as the ole saying goes!

Working as a team is essential on expedition, therefore it’s important that everyone has a chance to lead and try out navigation for themselves.

Sometimes it can be tempting to leave the nav to the one entrusted with the map or the one who is most comfortable map-reading. However sharing the responsibility and letting each individual take their turn will help you all grow in skill and confidence.

One of the satisfying tasks that take place back at the store... Ben has been busy straightening tent pegs post-DofE expedition so they are all ready for their next adventure.

While participants take care while putting up their tent, a few bent pegs can happen along the way. Luckily, we have just the thing to get them back in shape.

Oh how we laughed!

A throwback to Eden Valley Hospice Bikes Boats Boots in May this year - blue skies and big smiles all day! It really was a fantastic day with everyone bringing such a positive energy to the start line.

The great news is that it is BACK for 2026 so you can get involved in all the laughs, miles, and magic next year...

Sharing some of the positive feedback we have received recently...


‘So pleased I chose The Adventure Element, definitely exceeded my expectations and gave me the confidence to successfully complete my Gold practice and assessed expeditions in the Peak District and The Lake District. Both assessors were amazing, so much experience and expertise ensured we were fully prepared for all eventualities.’

Our very own founder Ben Keen is on his holidays but that doesn't mean resting up... that's not his style! Ben's holiday has begun by completing the Flandrien Challenge to earn his tile on the wall of fame at the Centre Ronde van Vlaanderen in Oudenaarde.

The stats? About 265 miles, 4800m ascent, and nearly 18 hours in the saddle! A shoutout to his solid efforts. Time for a well earnt beer in the land of beer and bikes.

Who else has endured this mighty challenge??

Crossing the finish line is a moment you’ll never forget, whether you’re greeted by loved ones, buddies, or our cheering staff.

For some it can be a moment of reflection, pride and recognition of what you have achieved. You’ve worked hard, pushed yourself, and it all paid off!

If you are joining us on Race the Sun series with Action Medical Research Events you are 'saving and changing children's lives' too!

You can add a memorable finish line moment to 2025. There's still time to join in... Check out the remaining events for this year:
