Aiming to be home at St Mags earlier than planned, likely ~4pm (adjusted today's route due to the weather conditions!) . Pupils will phone or text home to confirm once we hit the road. All doing well.

[St Margaret's DofE @StMagsDofE]

Final day! Still raining! Partially flooded campsite but pupils doing so well and showing great character in unrelenting conditions!!
All underway and making good progress. Think there should be a Silver+ Award!

Wet wet wet in Trossachs!
Everyone is coping very well.

After a long, wet day (the last group finished at 9pm) everyone's setup at camp and ready for some deserved rest. Great navigation and teamwork and lots of smiles. Well done all. Looking like another wet one tomorrow!

Wet night, wet morning and expecting a wet day!
But group 1 up and away on the dot of 8am. Absolute legends.

Good morning from Malawi. Last day at Ntondoko Primary school, it will be good to hand over our work but sad to leave. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇲🇼

[St Margaret's DofE @StMagsDofE]

Three groups finished, final group on the way. All have done amazingly well! Should be back at school around 5pm.

[St Margaret's DofE @StMagsDofE]

All groups underway on the final day of their practice expedition!
Aiming to be back at St Mags for 430pm but will update ETA later in the day (unlikely to be any earlier!).

A great way to end the second day. Now raining so everyone's snug into their tents. Final push tomorrow!
