16th - 21st Aug, Open Gold Exped

More rain to come - and so the theme of the week starts - rain !

Josh, Tyrone, Erin, Lucy, Sammie and Jonnie - already wet, doing well on day 1

Nick, KJ, Tom, Norris and Andrew at their 'campsite' for night 1

Tom, Norris, KJ, Andrew and Nick on day 2. I spotted Tom several miles away !

KJ, what's that on your rucsac, a toy sheep? It wasn't on the official kit list... She hasn't named it yet, suggestions anybody?

Storm clouds again building

Studying the map in wet conditions - taking a grid bearing

Josh, Erin and Tyrone looking very wet

Still raining. The rain has turned all the paths and sheep tracks to streams now - later in this afternoon Jonnie falls up to his waist in a bog !

Walking into the rain

Following a bearing, for several km... Trust the compass

Tom, Nick, Norris, Andrew and KJ arriving at their last campsite. This stream is still high, but earlier it was up to the bridge !!



Working for A to Z Expeditions. This week was an Open Gold D of E qualifying Expedition. I was working with Becky Coles. It was an incredibly wet 4 days. Huge congratulations to everybody that succeeded. Unfortunately Lucy damaged her achilles tendon - so best wishes for a speedy recovery, but massive congratulations on perhaps the best AS results I've ever seen !!
