38 students and 7 staff embarked on a Duke Of Edinburgh training walk last weekend in preparation for their Duke of Edinburgh expeditions.
23 U4 and15 L5 mastered map and compass skills, how to use a Trangia, had discussions on the Country Code and what food to take on an expedition. It proved a successful trip allowing students to gain new skills and ask any questions they may have.
A wonderful time was had by all as they covered the 6km course in the sunshine.
