Webguide - The Expedition Manual
Drawing on the expertise of its Trustees, Councillors and members, the YET is in the process of updating a webguide whose chapters deal with all aspects of youth expeditions for both expedition leaders and expedition members.

The webguide does not exist in a hard format but individual chapters can be downloaded (by clicking on the chapter heading below) and printed free of charge. However, if the chapters are reproduced, the YET should be fully acknowledged.

Although written and regularly revised by very able and experienced expedition leaders, the guidelines are intended as practical advice only and the YET can accept no responsibility for the safety or success of any expedition.
