This page is the Venture Beyond Expeditions blog, written by Angus Lawrence, Founder of Venture Beyond Expeditions. Articles cover practical topics relevant to schools planning an expedition to Lombok and Mount Rinjani, including school expedition planning, risk management, guide ratios, medical and medevac considerations, hospitals on Lombok, altitude and acclimatisation, the Gili Islands, Senaru Village, the Sembalun Valley, and what it takes to run a serious outdoor education program in Indonesia. It is written for Heads of Outdoor Education, Deputy Principals, and teachers who want informed, experience-based thinking from an operator with over twelve years on the ground.
