Our Year 10 DofE pupils recently went on their practice expedition. Here, Mrs Brown, the trip leader, tells us about their experience:

 

"We took 89 participants for our three day practice expedition in the local area, and thankfully were blessed with glorious May weather. Walking around 20k a day, for 3 days, with everything you need for the whole trip in a pack on your back, is a massive achievement, and each and every one of the participants should feel very proud of themselves. Yes, there were tears and blisters, but also a lot of fun and laughter, friendships cemented, an impromptu rounders match one evening with a found tennis ball and a stick, and some delicious looking meals. We are now looking forward to our qualifying trip to the New Forest in July!"
