We have become a community interest company and we have a new name!
Why Climate Explorers? We wanted a name that would reflect our mission going forward which is exploring climate solutions through eco-adventures and sharing them with the world through media.

Other than our tent and each other we were near enough alone on the edge of the loch, an experience that the whole crew will cherish for a long time.

The stars all seemed to align as the team woke
