Great day in the Lake District with our gold group today. They went fast to get to the campsite before heavy rain set in. All showing lots of determination for the next 3 days

Gold expeditions complete. A huge well done to the students who showed so much determination and team spirit throughout the 4 days. A big thank you to Intense Adventure for their expert leadership, care and flexibility.

A challenging day today in the heat. But with an early start and adapted route both teams were comfortable on the campsite this afternoon. Showing great determination

[keslichfield DofE @KeslichfieldD]

It’s warmer today. Both teams did a great job of keeping hydrated and arrived at the campsite mid afternoon. They’ve got a gentle route near the lake planned for tomorrow.

Gold day 1 all complete. Both teams walking well and showing great team work. Relaxing on the campsite now.

Did you bake for your Skills section? We’d love to see some of your baking creations! #WorldBakingDay #WorldBakingDay21 #Baking

Great interest and enthusiasm shown by our teams today. They’ve learnt about tent pitching, Trangia cooking, first aid, navigation, kit packing and route planning- all outdoors in the glorious weather. Plenty of laughs too. Don’t forget cap and sunscreen tomorrow!

Very sorry to hear of the death of the Duke of Edinburgh this morning. He was a great inspiration to many young people.
