The Blue Peter Summer Expedition was a yearly tradition in which the presenters of the BBC children's TV programme Blue Peter go to a foreign country and experience the culture and film special reports from that country, which are broadcast over several weeks in September and October.
The Summer Expedition was traditionally announced on the last programme of the series which is usually towards the end of June.
From 1971, the highlights of the expedition were shown as special programmes the following summer under the title Blue Peter Flies The World.
It has been renamed the "Blue Peter Road Trip" and had purpose for going to a country(s).
For the 2012 road trip, the presenters visited Poland and Ukraine because of the Euro 2012 games.
