We have been busy for the last month preparing for this summers expeditions. Staff have been out checking routes, we are so lucky to have such great countryside on our doorstep and the students will be walking through some beautiful spots.
They do need to be prepared for mud though, there is a lot of mud out there following the recent rain and flooding.
This weekend we have had all of our bronze and silver candidates together for their first training day. They completed training on first aid, health and safety, navigation, food and set their group aims.
At lunchtime they discovered just how long it takes to boil water on a trangia!
It was a fantastic day and we can’t wait until after Easter when we will be continuing their training out in the countryside.
