Expeditions Wales Dofe

Uchafi. Welsh for 'yuck'. Sums up today. Damp, misty, windy. Everyone back in their camps since mid afternoon and learning a lot. All safe and most enjoyed the challenge.

A busy day comes to an end. 12 DofE Gold groups arrived just after the sunshine. All checks done and preparing for a damp day tomorrow!

Diolch i bawb am y deg mlynedd diwethaf. Thank you to all our participants and supporters for the last 10 years! So many adventures and hopefully many more to come #DofE #Expedition #decade #10yearsold #Wales #smallbusiness #wemakeithappen

Never fail to be struck by how poignant and powerful this lonely, remote location in @fforestfawrgeopark in the @breconbeacons is. The Wellington bomber and memorial to those Canadians who sadly lost their lives nearly 75 years ago. #breconbeacons #canada #worldwar2 #memorial

A nice sunset to round off a good DofE Bronze expedition day in the Vale of Glamorgan #DofE #cowbridge #valeofglamorgan #Expedition #walesadventure #sunset

Just about catching up after a busy and varied weekend. DofE Silver cycling in Brecon Beacons National Park for Edgbarrow School - Official and two Bronze DofE expeditions, one in the Vale of Glamorgan, the other in the Meon Valley in Hampshire. Well done to everyone who took part and all of our staff for their hard work.

First open gold expedition of the season completed. 23 excellent DofE participants, all female. We think it was too cold for the lads!! #thisgirlcan #dofe #expedition #adventure #outdoorgirls #CambrianMountains #womeninadventure #Adventureseekers #girlguiding Have a #happyeaster everyone @ Dol Llys Farm Caravan and Camping Site

A challenging day in the wind for the 12 DofE Silver and Gold expedition teams out today, tackling the Brecon Beacons and Mid Wales hills. All have done well and will be long tucked away and fed by now. #DofE #breconbeacons #midwales #mountainweather #expedition #youngadventurers #dofegold #dofesilver

Brrr. It's a chilly couple of days for this week's DofE expedition groups. Gold groups from Aylesbury, Crowthorne and Reading all set off this morning in good spirits, while our Silver teams from Cowbridge got away well for their second day #DofE #girlpower #CambrianMountains #breconbeacons #cowbridge #eastwind #spring #Expedition #campinglife

The Farnborough groups have departed sunny Borth for home on time, a few hobbling but all happy after their adventures.

Congratulations to the Gold DofE teams from Farnborough Sixth Form College on successfully finishing the assessed expedition in sunny Borth after 4 days in the wilds of the Cambrian Mountains. You have all been marvellous, what a fantastic group of young people to work with! #dofegold #DofE #adventureseekers #expeditons #adventure #CambrianMountains #achievement #youngpeople #camping #hiking #exploring #walesoutdoors

A dry, sunny night for the last camp on the @farnborough6th DofE Gold Assessment. Next stop, the finish at the seaside #DofE #wildcamp #CambrianMountains #expedition #whatanachievement

Challenging day for the DofE Gold groups from @farnborough6th in the Cambrian Mountains. They have found out what all the training and advice was about. Everyone has relished the challenge and can feel even more proud of themselves now. A damp start tomorrow but likely to dry from then on. #DofE #weatherwatch #CambrianMountains #mist #expedition #wildcamping

Congratulations to the Gold Assessment team from @bartonpeveril on completing their expedition in the @breconbeacons #DofE #breconbeacons #walesadventure #Expedition
