Gold DofE Practice Expedition

1 Apr 2025
Other Half

40 Lower Sixth pupils completed their Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Practice Expedition in the Lake District in March. Their three day routes in the North Western Fells included ascents of 16 Wainwrights: Hopegill Head, Hindscarth, Catbells and Haystacks were particular highlights. The weather was magnificent throughout. The cool, dry and sunny conditions saw Buttermere and Borrowdale at their very best. All six groups showed team work and resilience in completing the trip. The qualifying expedition takes place in North Wales at the end of June.
