Princethorpe Outdoors

All gold groups have safely completed their qualifying trip. Pick up at PC approx 8pm traffic willing and after sorting the kit.

All groups had started by 8.10am this morning. We had some sunshine for 5 minutes, very grateful of it!

It’s stopped raining, all have eaten a hot meal and are now settling down for the night.

All gold groups safely into the campsite by 6.50pm. 1 day to go.

Most of the groups are now in camp or very close. Close supervision required in deteriorating visibility.

On gold day 3 the groups are progressing well in worsening wet conditions.

The quest continues.

The other two groups have been around Tryfan.

Three groups climbing Snowdon today. They’re really sticking at it despite it being damp and quite chilly.

A challenging day on gold. Top effort.

Excitement is building for the Gold DofE team in North Wales. Looking forward to getting out in the hills!

Thank you to Draycote Water Sailing Club for providing an opportunity for our L6th to sail today.

Well done to the 103 Year 9 pupils who completed their Bronze DofE Qualifying Expedition over the last 4 days. A superb effort! This group showed real determination and a wonderful sense of humour throughout.

Update, looking closer to 6pm ETA

The two final groups are just arriving in Broadway. Some kit to sort but the coach is here so ETA at PC approx 5.45pm

The groups have begun arriving at the finish. I will update re ETA at PC in due course. Looking likely to be around 5.30pm as advertised.

Super sites en route.
