ABOUT wild and remote
The British Adventure Company
Great expeditions for small teams,
built on experience, independent judgement and the strength of travelling together.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE EXPEDITION
Wild & Remote grew out of a lifetime's enthusiasm for adventure and the friendships that come from tackling difficult things together.
Behind every expedition is a small, experienced team of planners, navigators, medics, mechanics and logistics people. We bring together the right people for each adventure, combining years of practical experience with a shared love of getting out there.
We take the preparation, organisation and safety seriously. We also believe expeditions should be friendly, enjoyable and full of the sort of moments you'll still be talking about years later.
You'll get to know us at the briefings, around camp and throughout the expedition. We're very much part of the adventure too.

FOUNDED ON EXPEDITION EXPERIENCE
James Harris · Founder
Wild & Remote’s founder, James Harris, has led numerous expeditions world-wide notably, the British Army Antarctic Expedition in 2001–02, the British Army South Georgia expedition in 1991 and pioneering microlight flying expeditions to the high-north.
His wider expedition experience spans the Arctic, Canada, the USA and Europe. A mountaineer and explorer, he brings decades of experience travelling and leading teams in demanding environments.
Wild & Remote draws on that experience to create expeditions where participants make meaningful decisions, supported by careful preparation and people who understand the demands of the terrain.
Through years of expeditions, James has built a wide network of fellow explorers and specialists. That network allows WR to assemble a support team suited to each undertaking.
THE RIGHT PEOPLE FOR EACH EXPEDITION
Behind Wild & Remote is a wider network of explorers, mountaineers, ocean yacht-masters, experienced kayakers, qualified medics, mechanics and expedition logistics specialists.
We assemble the team for each expedition around its terrain, activities, remoteness and support requirements. Individual specialists join according to the skills needed and their availability.
Some contribute to planning and preparation; others work in the field, at checkpoints, in camp or behind the scenes. The mix changes with the expedition.
Participants are introduced to the appointed expedition team before departure, with clear information about responsibilities, support and communications.
