All groups are now finished. In the face of awful weather and tough navigation they've done themselves proud. #nailseadofe

A blue sky start today

A hint of blue sky as we set up camp, despite the weather the groups have navigated well and there still smiling

A damp start to the Bronze Qualifying expedition but the students are in great spirits #singingintherain

All groups done and collected by 5pm. I think this might be a first. Well done to all of our Bronze DofE participants and a massive thankyou to @mendipoutdoor for all your hard work!

The end is in sight for our year 10s; an amazing effort from the groups in their practice expedition.

No trace left by the year 11's, an excellent start to day 2 of our Bronze

[Nailsea School DofE @NailseaDofe]

Everyone's made it to camp, set up tents and now enjoying some warm food #happycampers

The sun is shining on the beautiful mendips for our Bronze Practice expedition. The groups are off to a brilliant start

Well done to our Silver and Gold DofE groups this weekend, an absolutely fantastic effort. We've had rain, sun, curious cows, hills and difficult to navigate forests, despite all this they arrived with grins on their faces.

Its the final day of our Gold and Silver expeditions and the rain is lifting. The students have shown great navigation skills and despite the weather (and football) are still smiling.

A damp penultimate day for the silver and gold groups but they still have a skip in their step. Is it really a DofE exped without rain?

The welcome party at the final checkpoint for day one of the Gold DofE

Wishing our Golds luck on their qualifying expedition, the sunshine is a good start.

DofE supervising with a coffee whilst our Silver and Gold groups practice their expedition skills, does it get any better?

Looks like a perfect day to start the Nailsea Rotary Sponsored Walks! Wishing the participants good luck! https://t.co/HR2xx9BC1R #nailsearotary #nailsea
