News from Bronze D of E….A great start with lots of enthusiasm. Students all participated in the assessor brief, all students were able to locate the kit in their bags. Good navigational start with great team work. All the students had a go at leading a stretch of the route and tried reading the map or map book. Everyone enjoyed the view of Old John while eating their lunch. All arrived tired but ready to pitch their tents. They put the trangia's together to make a meal of meatballs and pasta or pasta carbonara.
