We are delighted to announce that our new Duke of Edinburgh Gold Cohort has begun their expedition journey. Group one successfully completed their practice expedition from July 11th to July 13th in Snowdonia, guided by the experienced team at Gecko.
The practice expedition was a formidable test, both physically and mentally, requiring the students to overcome numerous challenges. The journey began in Betws-y-Coed, with the second day featuring the demanding Bryn Tyrch loop near Capel Curig.
Over the course of the three days, the weather presented a mix of conditions, ranging from rain to sunshine, and even included a battle with midges. Despite these difficulties, our students displayed remarkable determination and resilience.
We are incredibly proud of their efforts and look forward to seeing both groups complete their assessed expedition in the Peak District between now and October. Congratulations to our Duke of Edinburgh Gold Cohort for their perseverance and commitment!
