A few pics from the @RochdaleYouthie Sea kayaking expedition. Staff and Young People alike trying new stuff, challenging themselves, and succeeding in some very interesting weather.

@HT_HolyFamily Great weekend on a local #dofe Bronze Expedition. Young People on top form and representing well! Special mention to School Staff for volunteering their personal time to support. @RochdaleYouthie @RYSjamshed @dianehig_rys @FayeC_rys - 👍

My last session with @RochdaleYouthie after 10years! We've travelled the country far and wide with young people, been on mountain tops and sailed the seas, fixed and ridden bikes, made hotchocolate under a spaceship. It has been a blast, thanks to everyone I've met along the way!

Out doing some #dofe nav practice on a bitterly cold day with @RochdaleYouthie @RYSjamshed @FayeC_rys Great effort to anyone who's braved the elements with us this weekend!

Such a good session on Wednesday evening @RochdaleYouthie with @RYSjamshed making gingerbread!

@RochdaleYouthie #DofE Silver expedition with @RYSjamshed. The group have been amazing, supported one another and had smiles on faces over some long days. Last push now along the famous Edges of the Peak District, hopefully a strong finish before the 🌧

Another great day out with @RYSjamshed and Young Peope from @RochdaleYouthie's Open Award Centre for DofE. Properly off the beaten track, lots of wildlife, discussion around grouse shooting and land management. Pacing, handrailing and bearings done today! #freerangeyoungpeople

Lunch with a view, we could see Blackpool Tower and the mountains of the Lake District. Out doing nav practice working towards bronze expedition with @RYSjamshed and @RochdaleYouthie

@RochdaleYouthie @RYSjamshed Great couple of hours spent navigating locally, bonus the fog shifted so we got to see some stuff. Worked on timings and distances, and building lists of what we expected to see along our route.

@RochdaleYouthie Outdoor Education and #DofE Open Evening last night. Proud to see some of our Young People gain their bronze certificates after all the hard work put in. Amazing to see 3 young people complete Gold as well after 5years of working together ❤️

#YWW23 Youth Work in our Youth Club, session around social media ethics, and making sure we check in with friends. ❤️ are the recognised symbol for this. @RochdaleYouthie @RYSjamshed

Monster of a final day of our Silver #DofE expedition, thankfully the weather held out for us. Lots of determination and support shown between the group members. Stunning views, feel privileged to work for @RochdaleYouthie getting our young people into these places! Feet up time!

Tough conditions on day 2 of our @RochdaleYouthie #DofE silver expedition following the ridge along to Mam Tor. Looking forward to some warm food! Last day tomorrow!
