Last weekend, a group of our Y10 DofE Bronze award pupils undertook their first ‘practice hike’ in preparation for the Expedition in May.
The boys joined Mr Smith and Mr Wragg in a circular route from the Lower School around the Forty Hall area.
This was a great opportunity for the boys to work in 2 teams having the independence to interpret maps and use their navigation skills.
Both groups completed the hike in good time and had a very positive experience. The sessions proved a great opportunity for them to ask questions relating to their upcoming expedition and begin planning what equipment and resources may also be required.
Further similar practice hikes for the Bronze award group are planned over the coming months, as are some practical sessions on how to make camp, how to cook outside, first aid, pacing, equipment and packing, map skills.
Participating in, and delivering the DofE programme is rewarding and an achievement for both staff and pupils
