Duke of Edinburgh Expeditions over half term
During the first week of half term a three day Silver and a two day Bronze expedition took place in the Clwydian range in North Wales. We were fortunate to have good weather, despite a definite autumnal feel the walking bearable. However, with recent rainfall, conditions underfoot were rather muddy.
Overnight we stopped at Fron Farm, near Mold. The groups arrived in plenty of daylight to pitch tents and cook a welcome meal on the stoves. With the sun setting early it was dark by 6.30pm and the temperatures started to fall under a clear starry sky. Early nights all round to keep warm inside tents meant that we were able to have an early start the following morning. After a clear up all the groups were able to get away and complete the route by early afternoon. Tired and muddy everyone was pleased to have made it through the expedition.
At Bronze level there were 31 boys from Year 10 and 2 boys from Year 11 who successfully completed the qualifying expedition, whilst at Silver there were 5 boys who were successful.
