Duke of Edinburgh Award Expedition

Cadets Paul Dixon and Lloyd and Harvey Simpson recently successfully completed their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh expedition in the Thropton and Rothbury area of Northumberland.

All three cadets were required to complete an overnight camp and a hike, navigating with map and compass (no GPS allowed!) and having to carry all their equipment and prepare their own food.

Throughout the expedition they were assessed on their navigation and camp-craft skills.
