As with all trips in Covid times you need to be aware of the booking and refund process. Mud and Maps will set the dates of the trip . If there is a local, national or year group bubble lockdown the package has a back up date. We will move the trip to accommodate the young people to make sure they get through the award. This could happen more than once and there is no extra fee for this. We will get the young people through in 2021/22 so please do not panic about this.

As well as the group trip, we have open expedition dates every 2 months where individual's can move to if needed. So if the trip goes ahead BUT someone can not make it, this ticket can be transferred to any open expedition with Mud and Maps. Open expedition are designed for people that cant make the expedition last minute due to a family emergency, Sickness or a school last minute Function etc.
