@ScottHazeldine @NCS_SixthForm Well I did wonder if one pair were Sam’s!

After being your best friends for the last 4 days, you casually abandon your boots in the car park 😱
@NCS_SixthForm claim them from Mrs S!

And that’s a wrap! 9 Year 13s have SUCCESSFULLY completed the walking part of their #DofE #Gold expedition section. You should be very proud of all you have achieved and every battle you’ve won over the last few days. #IAmDofE #northchadderton

It was very wet to start to the final day but it’s going to be a glorious finish! #IAmDofE #northchadderton

Internet has been out this morning.
Both groups are out in dreary rain for the final day on their #DofE #Gold expedition and are going well. #IAmDofE #northchadderton

[NorthChadDofE Gold @NCDofEGold]

All #DofE #Gold participants tucked up in their tents ready for their final day tomorrow. All in good spirits albeit achy and sore! You’ve got this 💪 #IAmDofE #northchadderton

[NorthChadDofE Gold @NCDofEGold]

Both teams were up bright and early and have left camp. They’re now on their way up Whernside. #IAmDofE #northchadderton

[NorthChadDofE Gold @NCDofEGold]

All #DofE #Gold participants are tucked up in bed for the night. Tomorrow they will summit Whernside, the highest of the Yorkshire Three Peaks. They should be immensely proud of all they have achieved so far and 🤞🏻 the weather will be dry again. #IAmDofE #northchadderton

All groups are on the final stretch to the campsite over the mountain. It’s been a tough day but they’ve kept going. 💪 Photos to follow later when mobile signal is better. #IAmDofE #resilience #determination #northchadderton

[NorthChadDofE Gold @NCDofEGold]

Team 2 have started the climb up Long Lane on the way to Ingleborough. The bright orange rucksack cover makes them easy to spot! #IAmDofE #northchadderton

[NorthChadDofE Gold @NCDofEGold]

Team 1 have stopped for lunch at the checkpoint above Clapham before they ascend Ingleborough and drop into camp. #IAmDofE #northchadderton

[NorthChadDofE Gold @NCDofEGold]

We’re on the Pennine Bridleway above Clapham waiting for the two groups to arrive from Austwick before their ascent of Ingleborough. #IAmDofE #northchadderton

[NorthChadDofE Gold @NCDofEGold]

All #DofE #Gold participants are now in camp for the night. So proud of you all today. Hopefully the weather will be better over the next few days! #IAmDofE #northchadderton

[NorthChadDofE Gold @NCDofEGold]

Team 1 have now passed us on Fountains Fell #IAmDofE #northchadderton

[NorthChadDofE Gold @NCDofEGold]

We’re off up Fountains Fell to look out for our two #Gold teams crossing the moorland before the last stint into Horton. The summit of Pen-Y-Ghent (behind) is just disappearing into the clouds... like we’re about to do! #IAmDofE #northchadderton

[NorthChadDofE Gold @NCDofEGold]

Team 2 descending Fountains Fell in some grim weather but going well! #IAmDofE #northchadderton
