X23 DofE Expedition information:

Kit Check:

Just a reminder that Kit check takes place this Friday. All students need to bring in all the items on their kit list. They can bring it in any bag as when they go on expedition it will be transferred into one of the schools expedition rucksacks. If you have any problems with getting kit please let me or crew leaders know so we can help.

Bag Packing:

Students will need to bring in all of their kit and food again on Wednesday morning 10th April ready for bag packing after school from 3.15pm to 4.30pm.

Expedition:

Students can come to school at the normal time on Thursday morning 11th April. We will be spending the first few hours doing route planning and basic map skills before we head out. Our Bronze practice expedition this year is taking place around Askern. We have some great routes for the students to learn the skills needed for their qualifying expedition. Students will be supervised by staff at all times on the practice / training expedition.

Return:

We will return to school Friday morning and spend time de-gunging equipment followed by a debriefing of their practice to make any changes, updates & improvements to their plans ready for the qualifying expedition. Students can be collected from school at the usual time.

Also, as it could be very cold during the evening & night students can each bring an extra blanket or thick coat that can be kept separate from what they have to carry. This doesn’t need to come to kit check.

If you have any questions please email me or speak with crew leaders.
