D of E Expedition in Damp Conditions
During the first weekend of half term and undeterred by Storm Brian, 23 Year 11 pupils took on the elements across the New Forest as they undertook a silver Duke of Edinburgh practice expedition. In rather soggy conditions, they spent three days enduring some feisty weather which tested their navigation skills and camp craft. A hard, yet important few days where they learnt some crucial skills, and learnt quite alot about themselves too.
