A lovely day for DofE! Students have been fantastic today with very few navigational errors! Two groups are into camp at East Creech with the other 3 very near to their camp site at Acton. It looks to be warmer tomorrow so a strategy will be put in place this evenings

Good Morning from camp, Purple, Pink and Blue groups at East Creech Campsite are starting to rise and prepare for another warm day! Extra water stops have been added today to account for the weather and longer breaks suggested at peak temperatures

Silver Assessed All groups arrived into camp between 6-7pm, all tents are up and groups are cooking their evening meals ahead of an early night!

Silver Assessed - apologies for the delay with updates! 4 groups set out between 12-1pm and are progressing well through their day, the 5th group set out a few hours later due for a minibus issue but their route was adjusted to account for the delay. All groups doing well!
