Day 2 of the Backwell Silver and Gold Practice on Dartmoor complete. All three groups safely in camp. Tonight the Silvers have a campsite and the Golds are wild camping on the moor. So proud of them all! @Backwell_School @DofESouthWest

A sunny day but luckily a nice breeze out on the moor. All groups safely in camp. Silvers are wild camping by a stream and Golds are in a campsite tonight and will be wild tomorrow. All in good spirits and health!
