@BSAKdofe all participants have been fantastic. It has been very sandy but the participants have worked extremely well. We will be arriving at school 2.30 rather than 3.30pm

Congratulations to our fantastic @BSAKsixthform Yr 12 students who have battled through wind, rain and some pretty horrific views* to complete their @intaward Gold Award 👍

[BSAK DofE @BSAKdofe]

Our students are onto the final day of their @intaward Gold AJ. The sun is still shining and the smiles are still there! Good to see!

[BSAK DofE @BSAKdofe]

However, students stayed smiling and have been rewarded with clear blue skies today. I wonder how long they’ll last....

[BSAK DofE @BSAKdofe]

Some pretty rough conditions for our gold students last night, so much so they were forced to take shelter in a local village hall. 💨 ⛺️ 🌧😱 BSAK HQ not so jealous now....

[BSAK DofE @BSAKdofe]

🌧 + 🏃🏼‍♀️ + ⛺️ = 😀😀

[BSAK DofE @BSAKdofe]

We warned them it might rain ☔️! All in good spirits despite the showers! Good work! @BSAKsixthform @BSAKAbuDhabi

[BSAK DofE @BSAKdofe]

All groups appear to be making excellent progress with smiles all round! These pictures making those of us back at ‘BSAK HQ’ very jealous!

[BSAK DofE @BSAKdofe]

Our gold @intaward groups are off to a great start! First group to arrive at their first checkpoint and they are still smiling! Those clouds look ominous though boys!

[BSAK DofE @BSAKdofe]

All students have arrived safely and have set up for their first night camping ⛺️ @BSAKsixthform

[BSAK DofE @BSAKdofe]

Good luck to our @BSAKAbuDhabi @BSAKsixthform Year 12 students who are en route to Mauritius for their gold expedition!
