Hi, On behalf of myself, the team and all the children, we just wanted to say a huge thank you for yesterday. We loved it! We couldn’t have been more impressed with your team – they were all amazing with the children and so reassuring which meant that they were able to face the challenges head on. We have a very diverse group of children and you made every single one of them feel they were able to succeed. They definitely made memories to last! Thank you once again and please pass our gratitude onto everyone involved.

Well we completed our CCF Exercise with Lost Earth Adventures and it was a resounding success. We are delighted with the service we have received from LE adventures and we will definitely do something similar with your company again next year.

Your instructors (Luca, Matt, Steve, Will) were excellent and I must commend Luca in particular. He really was outstanding in the way he engaged with our staff and in particular with our cadets. His ability to rapidly learn their names was uncanny.

Thank you once again and I will be in touch in the near future re Ex Lost Earth 2. Let me know if there is a way I can leave a review to strongly recommend LE Adventures.
