D of E Practice Gold Expedition

A reminder of basic nav skills on day 1

The view from the summit of Pen y Fan at 8.30am, waiting for the groups to arrive

One group planned to walk under Sgwd yr Eira. Lots of other tourists were enjoying it too

Part of the training on the first day involved using the bothy shelter

It was a great week for a D of E practice gold Exped. I was working with Bryony this week, for A to Z Expeditions. The girls from London, did really well, they did have cold weather a few times, and one girl suffered from getting very cold at one point - the rest of the team showed great teamwork in sorting out the problem... It all ended well, at the wild campsite that night. Good luck to them for the real Qualifying Exped in July.
