A Dramatised documentary
Introduced on film by His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh.
Every year some four thousand boys from all parts of Great Britain are sent by their employers or their schools on 'Outward Bound' courses.
What is 'Outward Bound'? What is the object of these courses and what happens to the boys who go on them?

To find the answer to these questions the BBC Television Service sent three young actors, a Film Unit, and the writers and producer of this programme to an Outward Bound' Mountain Course on the Cumberland Fells. The boys went through the training, sharing every part of it. The camera team, too, found themselves climbing with their equipment in all weathers to obtain the film that forms part of the programme. As a result it has been possible to recreate the experiences of three young men taking part in the valuable adventure of Outward Bound'.
