It’s time to put all of the DofE training and preparation to the test – the expedition weekend for the bronze group and silver (group 1 only) starts on Saturday 18th July. We are heading to the Peak District in Derbyshire, prime ground for DofE groups were the air is clean and the hills are high.
Attached is the trip information form to provide all the details for the weekend, which we need back by Tuesday 30th June. Please take time to read all of the details for the trip and return to us by the deadline. All teams leave from Knowle long stay car park at 7am on Saturday 18th July, ready to start the expedition at 9am in the Peak District. Bronze members will camp for one night and will return to Knowle on Sunday evening. Silver members are away for two nights, returning to Bickenhill on Monday evening.
We’re sure we don’t need to remind you that you will be observed all weekend – when walking and when in camp – and you won’t always spot the assessor but they will be watching you! We request you look after each other, work closely as a team, be respectful of people you meet along the way and take care whilst on route and in camp. This is a great weekend to accomplish something you’ll be proud of, so make the most of it and enjoy it.
We’ll ensure you are prepared for the trip but please don’t hesitate to talk to a CAG leader if you have any questions.
Good luck
CAG
