DofE Day Expedition
An introductionary walk was held for the new Bronze and Silver groups to give them a taste of what it is like to navigate with a map, carry some kit on your back and make a meal when they arrived back at the hall.
The expedition started from Wimbledon Station, across Wimbledon Common, through Richmond Park and then back to Hampton Hill. The Silver team also put in an extra loop around the the Petersham and Ham water meadows.
Overall the Bronze team covered about 14 kms with the Silvers managing 17 kms. It was an excellent event and really helped to make much of what has been discussed in the ‘classroom’ a little more real.

Oh and if anyone does find the lost compass, we’ve love to get it back again!
