dventurer Bear Grylls is supporting an Exeter- based start-up planning the UK’s first educational travel conference.


Stretching Horizons is a new network for teachers who are passionate about the educational benefits of travel and adventure. The company is a joint venture between two local friends – Adrian Ferraro, director of Exeter travel agency The Specialist Travel Consultancy and mountain guide and Berghaus-sponsored athlete Nick Parks. The idea is to create a network


and community where all those involved in educational travel and expeditions can network, seek advice and gain inspiration for their next trip. 400 teachers from across the


UK are expected to attend the two-day conference to be held on 12 and 13 October in Bristol. Bear said: “Stretching Horizons encourages both adventure and travel in young people and


Nichola Vickers, Adrian Ferraro and Nick Parks of Stretching Horizons. Above, Bear Grylls


understands the power these forces have to build confidence in young lives. It helps students be ambitious to make a real difference in not just their own lives, but also the lives of others.” Adrian said: “Teachers, schools and tour operators all seem very keen to be a part of it, with many asking us why this hasn’t been done before.” For more stretchinghorizons.co.uk
