My goal for Bushwalking in Expedition under Adventurous Journey Category is to become an experienced bushwalker by completing at least three multi-day bushwalking expeditions over the course of 12 months. I will plan for each expedition to include travel, navigation, camping and extended walks in varying terrain. I will resist the urge to speed hike and instead focus on spending quality time in the natural environment and getting to know the terrain. I will take courses to learn basic bushwalking skills and other wilderness survival techniques, such as how to read a map, how to identify edible plants, and how to build shelters, and plan to practice these skills while on my expeditions.

My goal for Canoeing in a Expedition under Adventurous Journey Category is: To become an experienced canoeist by completing a long-distance canoeing expedition of at least 500 miles within 6 months. I will attend a certified canoeing course 2 times per week for 1 hour and practice an additional 3 hours per week by going on local trips. I will also research safety guidelines and use of special navigation and camping gear, including canoe hatchets, maps and compasses, etc. to improve my skills and reach my ultimate goal.
