JOURNEYS
/ EXPEDITIONS
Mont Blanc to Mont Cinto (May / June 2008)
|
| |
A journey
of a lifetime, by ski, bicycle, sail, kayak and foot, linking
Mont Blanc, the summit of Western Europe (4,807m), to Mont
Cinto the summit of Corsica (2,706m). The journey’s
hosts, Mark Beaumont (cycle section), Max Chaya (mountain
sections) and Jim Morrisson (kayak section), were joined by
individuals from all over the world.
Verdict: A 15 day kaleidoscopic journey
around the snow-covered Mont Blanc massif, a mesmerising 4
day cycle across the Alps, through the Gorges de Verdon and
the charming villages of Provence to the French Riveria, a
traverse to Corsica by sailing boat, a sea kayak around the
wild coast of North-West Corsica, culminating with an ascent
of the mighty Mont Cinto on foot where 15 people of 11 different
nationalities reached the summit

CORPORATE
TRAINING / TEAM BUILDING
South of France Island Bonanza (Aug 2008)
|
| |
A
corporate team of 15 took two luxury catamarans for a car-free
4 day team-building trip. Arriving at the beachside airport
of Hyeres they walked to their boats and sailed across to
the protected Island of Porquerolles, their base for the 4
days. Teambuilding activities included sailing, mountain biking
around the Island, rock climbing / abseiling on sea cliffs,
scuba diving, kayaking, snorkeling and beach games. For the
final night the two catamarans were attached together and
moored off a deserted beach for an all-night ocean party.
Verdict: (CEO) A trip that money could not
buy, a visibly improved atmosphere radiated around the office
after the trip… As for the CFO, he was too absorbed
in windsurfing to want to leave. At 1.45pm we were still sipping
Rosé on the boats, we were then taken to the beach
by dingy, escorted back to the airport on foot and we were
all checked in by 2.15pm.
