Hello Everyone!! Completed our final expedition at Corfe, the whole journey was eventful. Before we even made it to our campsite our minibus broke down, people got chased by cows, people hurting themselves. The whole thing was just a massive adventure and it totally worth it! This is probably my last blog post, so bye for now and good luck with your Duke of Edinburgh!

Another great week on learning skills applicable to our Duke Of Edinburgh expedition! This time around we learnt about contour lines and how to use them in order to estimate timings, it was great to learn about how contour lines work and how they provide a lot of information for us walkers! :)

First week of our Silver Dofe Session! Excited to get down and make sure we make the most of this experience :) This week we began with learning about coordinates and how to find points given the coordinates of the location. We started using bearings however we have a long way to go before we become experts!! Can’t wait for next week to learn more key skills applicable to our expeditions
