Success!
July 16, 2010 on 8:29 pm | In Uncategorized | No CommentsThey’ve done it! The Duke of Edinburgh group successfully completed their assessed expedition on 15th and 16th July. They hiked for about seven hours from Hartwell, south by Castlethorpe, to their overnight camp at Cosgrove. Next morning they headed east, skirting Old Wolverton and then north through Haversham to Hanslope, returning to the Cobblers Study Centre at the end of the second day looking weatherbeaten, healthy and exhausted.
On the way they tried fishing for crayfish and had encounters with ducks, cows and a bull. They learned the importance of teamwork, of listening to others and of communicating well. They practised their cooking, map reading and problem solving skills, recognised that on a hike “..you get to see what you don’t see..” and may even do it again one day!
