Class of 2024. Job done. It's been an utter pleasure to see these guys excel. The perfect way to leave KSBDofE. I will miss all of this. Thank you for the memories.😢 @kingsbruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities

Pupils have loved walking around the beautiful and famous literary town of Hay-on-Wye. Some interesting books purchased too. @kingsbruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities

[King's Bruton D of E @KSBDofE]

Wonderful finish to a top expedition - all groups back and enjoying a bit of downtime in Hay-on-Wye. Huge thanks to David, Woody, Mrs Stainton and Miss Checketts. @kingsbruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities

[King's Bruton D of E @KSBDofE]

4 of the 5 groups up, packed, breakfasted and gone. Outstanding attitude and performance so far. Go Silvers! @kingsbruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities

Wishing Olly, Blackford, a very happy DofE Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 @kingsbruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities

[King's Bruton D of E @KSBDofE]

All 5 groups safely back at camp. A huge effort on what has been a really hot day. A relaxing summer evening beckons before the final day's walk tomorrow. We finish in Hay-on-Wye - hopefully at around 2pm. @KingsBruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities

[King's Bruton D of E @KSBDofE]

On 2 wheels instead to keep tabs on Swaledale before a downhill blast back to the campsite. Most groups now not far from the finish after a good day out in the hills. @kingsbruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities

Meanwhile Mrs Stainton and Miss Checketts enjoy a quick ascent of Hay Bluff. @kingsbruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities

[King's Bruton D of E @KSBDofE]

All groups making great progress and very happy in their surroundings. Keep going, Silvers! @kingsbruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities

[King's Bruton D of E @KSBDofE]

This is one of their 2 checkpoints today. What a place to stop for a snack! @kingsbruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities

[King's Bruton D of E @KSBDofE]

All groups out and away by 9; even though a little less keen to spring out of bed. And at 10, trackers showing all groups making good progress around their routes. @kingsbruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities

[King's Bruton D of E @KSBDofE]

Texel and Romney away early. Weather mild but due to warm up. Today's route takes them on an easterly route to Gospel Pass. @kingsbruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities

[King's Bruton D of E @KSBDofE]

All pupils happily settled and asleep by 9:45 after lovely restful evening back at camp. On to day 2. Well done all groups so far; stellar performance and attitude! @kingsbruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities #ksbwellesley

[King's Bruton D of E @KSBDofE]

Woody confirms safe return of all 5 groups. Everyone now basking in lovely evening sun before an early night. And a gravy biscuit for this one. 😋 @kingsbruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities
