Gold expedition day 3. Stunning valley walking in the north of Arran. Teams all dug deep today and were rewarded with some idyllic scenery and sunset at camp. Spirits are rising! (But so are the midges)

Gold expedition day 1 was a long challenging day over tough terrain. Arran supplied perfect weather and an idyllic beach camp. Teams are tired but positive and looking forward to day 2

Clear skies and big views over the Black Mountains this week for Silver DofE expedition. Great teams of students coped well with the the warm conditions and displayed the full set of required skills. Good work everyone. #dofe #clearskies

Beautiful end to 3 days in Snowdonia on gold DofE practice. Lots of challenges overcome and tales to tell. Well done everyone.

Retreating down Devils Kitchen. Leaders were very impressed today with students' high spirits despite some truly challenging, exposed walking. Now all camped up and drying out. #getoffthemountain

Snowdonia opened the taps on Gold DofE today. Some challenging weather on top of the Devils Kitchen proved ideal for storm shelter practice. #stormshelter #dofe #rain
