Boys from Ermysteds Grammar School on their training walks for their Bronze DofE Award.

We're doing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks today with Club Doncaster Foundation . As I type the group are going up their last hill, Pen-y-ghent (we did it backwards to avoid the crowds).

I'm the vehicle support but went up some of the first hill and then met some of the group coming down Whernside at Ribblehead. The highlight for me was the train of pine logs spreading natural air freshner through the dales. It makes it smell like a very clean toilet :-)


If you need an organisation to guide your group around the route please do get in touch https://www.lupineadventure.co.uk/yorkshire-3-peaks/

Visit Yorkshire for a better class of DofE campsite.

Harrogate Grammar School DofE pariticpants tire out the farm dog on their Bronze expedition at the weekend. By all accounts the hound was very keen at fielding, not so good at returning the ball to the bases.

I've not been to Sussex for a while but these photos came back from a DofE expedition this weekend it looks like someone broke it.

Have you had a wet spring?

True or False:
If you are doing your DofE, you need a stick.
