	The second summer expedition was organised rather later than the first. With a short deadline, a few UK options were floated, before we decided on [[Rowan de Pomerai]]'s suggestion of going to... Yorkshire! Rowan was joined by [[Jonathan Bufton]], [[Kate Rushworth]], [[Kev Larkin]], [[Sarah Leese]], [[Tom Hughes]], [[Dave Baker]] and on the trip to The Deep [[Richard Ash]], [[Rob Humphrey]] and [[Cally Nixon]]. The locality was actually a very good idea as we saved money by being able to sleep in our own beds every night, and saw bits of the region we'd never got around to - such as a day in Scarborough, visits to the ''York Dungeon'', Bradford's ''National Museum of Photography Film and Television'', ''The Deep'' in Hull, York Minster, a boat trip down the Ouse and the York Brewery. The trip to Bradford began in confusion about whether we could actually travel due to the 7/7 terrorist attacks on the London transport system.

No summer expedition was organised this year due to the YSTV 40 [[Birthday Party]] organisation, which along with [[Woodstock]] made the summer term more pushed for time than usual. A number of current and former YSTV members did however visit the Center Parcs resort in Sherwood Forest in September that year for a long weekend of wholesome Blue Peter-style activities, although no-one filmed it!

	The YSTV Summer Expedition was the brainchild of [[Jen Ayerst]] when she became [[Production Director]] in May 2004. The idea was to make a programme that showed freshers how much of a fun time we had socially as a station, whilst also giving us a holiday at the end of the academic year. The idea was in many ways a [[rip-off]] of the annual Blue Peter event of the same name. A group of (mostly graduating) YSTV members had gone on a canal boat holiday in summer 2003, however this was not filmed and was not a YSTV event.

			The event has been continually panned by judges when entered for [[NaSTA]] awards, as apparently it is of no interest to anyone but ourselves. This may be true, but it's great fun for us...

	The first summer expedition was to Dublin.

They also saw a memorial to ~~Oscal~~ Wilde known as "the fag on the crag", another memorial to Dermot Morgan and an amazing pub that served pints of Smirnoff Ice.
