The teams of girls were first in camp today and had their tents pitched before the lads got here. They're now showing the lads how to pitch their tents.

Our @HaslingdenHigh Bronze DofE Practice Expedition is live this weekend. The weather is stunning, but not quite what the candidates want. Too hot!

The last few steps of day 3. Well done to all of the candidates. You did great. And big thanks to Mr Ridgway for acting as Base Contact for the last 3 days. Team DofE.

What a horrible night. Strong winds. Lots of rain. The tents the @haslingdenhigh DofE groups use stood up to the elements brilliantly. Dry, refreshed and super-keen for day 3.

The descent back down into Kingsdale.

Ironically this was the driest part of the day.

The @HaslingdenHigh Silver DofE teams investigating Yorda's Cave.

Wet and windy weather tonight. The gazebo is a welcome shelter.

Team 2 having their lunch in Burton in Lonsdale.

@HaslingdenHigh Silver DofE practice. We asked if we could use the toilets at Ireby Green Farm Cafe. The lovely lady not only opened up for us, but gave us free drinks as well. Such a kind gesture. Thank you! Team DofE.

And finally a big thank you to the @HaslingdenHigh staff who volunteered their time to help out this week. Without their generosity we would not be able to offer @DofE as cheaply as we do. Achievement For All. Opportunity For All. Mr Hargreaves, Miss McConville & Mr Trickett. 🙏

We're all done and heading home. 💪👏

Happy to announce that 4 of our 5 teams have completed their Silver Assessment Expedition.

Massive thanks to our very own @HaslingdenHigh Mr Bainbridge for being our Silver @DofE Assessor this week. 🫖 ☕️ ahhh 😌

We have 2 @HaslingdenHigh Silver @DofE teams in at the finish in Pooley Bridge. Very impressive candidates. 💪👏👏

6:30am and the @HaslingdenHigh Silver @DofE teams are waking to a lovely morning. Hope's are that tents will be dry before they head on of day 3.

All 5 @HaslingdenHigh Silver @DofE teams are in camp after a long & wet day. Strong bunch!
