In June 2018, Y10 and Y11 Silver D of E students spent a week in the Peak District completing their two day training expedition followed by a three day assessed expedition (with a 24hr break separating the two).
Whilst the weather was glorious, the heat intensified the difficulty in hiking and this was made worse by the increased amount of water being transported in already heavy hiking bags. In spite of the hurdles, the students powered through to successfully complete their qualifying expedition.
