DofE G0324 Gold Practice Expedition 29 March - 3 April 2024 - 7 places left

Kent Scouts will be running a Wild Country Practice Expedition in the Rydal Water area of Cumbria. This will be open to participants who have completed their training.

Please note: We have found it too challenging for participants to go direct to Gold, so if you plan to do your Gold expedition in wild country, you will need to have completed your Silver expedition section, and/or have other hillwalking experience. Those who do not have that experience are advised to maybe take part in a District Silver expedition, join a weekend with Invicta Mountaineering Club, https://www.theimc.org.uk/ or maybe consider other locations or methods of transport which are less challenging. However, it should be emphasised that wild country is not all about climbing mountains, and expeditions can be planned to walk at lower level, or a gentler pace to suit the teams’ ability, but even so, all team kit has to be carried in wild country, and it can be a very physically demanding experience!

Cost £135, which covers supervisor fees and first and last nights campsite fees, but excludes all food and transport to and from Cumbria.
