It’s with great sadness that we acknowledge the death of our Patron HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, he will be sadly missed.

All teams off the hills and back at the base camp. Lovely day as we walked off Ingleborough. Could have done this on Tuesday! Individuals have developed character, resilience and determination. Proud of the effort. @bennettmemorial @BennettSixth @DofESouthEast

Gold practice, end of day 3. Wind and heavy rain all day. Supporting our teams by bringing one team a day into the bunk barn to dry out and warm up. Cooked lunch before going out to camp as planned.

@IONeal87 Wasn't there a question in 11+ on the telephone directory and a bus/train time table?
Or is that just very old?

Staff litter pick on the River Medway, lovely day, the rain held off. Collected bags of tins, plastic and glass. Also a child seat and mop bucket!
