EWP and your security EWP (UK) - History |
In 1986 the company opened an office in the UK. Registered as Factpass Ltd, it traded as Executive Wilderness Programmes until 1989 when it changed its trading name to EWP. At the same time the Kenyan company changed ownership and is now independant of EWP (UK).
In 1991 with the opening up of the former Eastern Block, Andrew Wielochowski, a director of EWP (UK) who spoke Polish and Russian established contacts in Eastern Europe and soon EWP built up associations with leading experts in a variety of outdoor activity fields in Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Russia, Turkey, the Azores, parts of Italy and Central Asia. We now have representative organisations in all of these countries.
EWP (UK) - Maps
Many of the areas we operated in had maps which were either out of print,
restricted or out of date. To remedy this we used our local expertise and with
the help of cartographers we published our range of maps. West Col Productions
(UK), The Geographic Bureau, (St Petersburg) and Bel Alpin (Romania) were
involved with this work and many of our maps are jointly published with these
companies. See Maps .
Our Guides
We have a core of fully qualified technical climbing guides who accompany our
expeditions requiring technical mountain guiding. We also use local experts: in
East Africa many of our trips are led by local guides who have been trained and
/ or approved by us. These guides are not responsible for technical climbing
guiding. However in the Caucasus and Central Asia our local guides are
generally "Masters of Sport" and mountaineering experts of the highest
calibre. All our trips are led by English speaking guides who have been trained
by us. In the former Soviet Union well equipped doctors accompany our trips
into remote areas. In less remote areas we have trained first aiders in every
group. In East Africa our local walking guides have basic first aid knowledge
and on the Major East African mountains they can quickly obtain professional
help from the local park rescue teams.
