Silver Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Qualifying Expedition

On a very hot weekend in the New Forest 31 Year 10 students completed their Silver Qualifying expedition. 

The teams arrived in very hot weather and set off on their route around the forest. They had challenging conditions with the heat slowing them down but they all navigated well towards their first camp. There was a range of food cooked and all teams pitched their tents on a beautiful evening. The teams set off early the following morning, towards Brockenhurst before heading into the woodlands before reaching the second campsite. It was another tricky day with the hot weather as well as a couple of downpours, the teams managed well with carrying their equipment. It was another lovely evening with the sun setting over the camp, whilst teams were working on their expedition projects. 

The last morning was another early start and the teams began the final part of their route. We’re pleased to say that every student successfully qualified their expedition. Congratulations!
