A challenging day one for our gold DofE students. Weather has not been kind with high winds and heavy rain. Students followed a wet weather route lower down on the hill side with little climbing. This decision was made by the instructional team. Well done everyone @BablakeDofE

All students up and getting ready for the day. Teams are starting to leave camp. We will notify you via email if the collection time changes. @BablakeDofE
