Silver DofE Expedition

What a weekend on our Silver DofE expedition.

Swindon sunshine and some very stylish sunhats kicked things off on Saturday followed by a full day of walking and camp cooking.

Sunday brought an unforgettable wake up call from a very loud donkey but the girls smashed their first independent walk with resilience and teamwork then topped it off with their own talent show.

Monday meant packing up the dreaded Trangia clean and celebrating Luisa’s birthday before a brilliant Ridgeway walk finishing early and earning well deserved ice creams.

Huge thanks to A Z Expeditions and the amazing Matt Kristy Phil and Carole So proud of the girls.
