The Bronze Award practice expedition took place on 26th and 27th April with 12 groups walking between Hope and Grindleford in the Peak District, camping overnight at North Lees near Hathersage.

We had good weather on the first day but temperatures dropped sharply overnight and many girls suffered from the cold. Day 2 was wet throughout and groups did well to cope with bad conditions and complete their walk.

Many thanks to all the parents who helped.

We are now looking forward to the qualifying expedition on 23rd and 24th June.
