DofE Expeditions – October 2023

25 students from Years 11 to 13 travelled to the Peak District over half term from 21 to 27 October, for their Gold and Silver DofE expeditions; one gold assessed group, one gold practice group and two silver practice groups.

Carrying all of their expedition equipment, following training days with group supervisors, our gold assessed group took part in a four day walking expedition, our other groups for three days which involved camping overnight too.

Despite the weather being up and down with sun one minute and rain the next, all groups achieved their aims. The three practice groups will now plan to complete their assessed expeditions during the Easter holidays in the Lake District.

Well done to everyone that took part – great effort!
