Last weekend, the Year 10s travelled to the South Downs National Park for their Silver Duke of Edinburgh practice. Although there was challenging terrain at times, the steep climbs and uneven paths, we found that it was a great experience and opportunity to reconnect with nature and immerse ourselves in the stunning landscapes. Especially with the wonderful sunny British weather! After each day of walking over 12km, we enjoyed our evenings playing ultimate frisbee with Mr Clements back at the campsite, before cooking dinner with the Trangia stoves. Overall, the experience brought us all closer together as a group and we are so excited and more prepared for the official expedition in June!
