Expeditions in Remote Areas 

Due to the sometimes unreliable phone signal in some of the areas we go on expedition, one of our volunteers has spent some time investigating options to enable messages to be passed between staff supervisors.  He approached his place of employment requesting funding to enable us to trial some radios.  The company very kindly agreed to fund this for us this season and this weekend, on the Silver practice,  we trialled the radio solution.  After a successful and helpful addition to the expedition we will use these again on the Silver assessment and Gold expeditions this season.  Thank you to my fabulous supervisor team for all they do and a huge thank you to Andy and the company Inzpire for the funding. You can read more about the company below.

Inzpire designs and delivers innovative products and training to militaries, governments, and civilian businesses across the world. The company trains the armed forces in both live and simulated environments; has produced its own range of simulators; offers classroom-based and online training courses in subjects including electronic warfare, intelligence, cyber and human factors to civilian customers, and supports UK military personnel worldwide.

As part of its company ethos, Inzpire is dedicated to helping its local community and does everything it can to support organisations and charities, especially when it enables young people to gain new experiences and reach their potential. As such, Inzpire is delighted to sponsor the Robert Carre Trust’s Duke of Edinburgh scheme, and to help with the provision of DMR radios to support participants as they complete their expeditions and build important skills for work and life.
