On 11th and 12th July, 7 students from Ash class took part in their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh expedition. They have been working on their other sections through the year. We prepared for the expedition with map reading and navigation, stove cooking and basic first aid. Day 1 we started the day preparing a brunch of noodles and pancakes cooking on Trangia stoves to give us some extra energy. We then walked around the Mapperton estate following a circular route. Day 2 we set off from school walking a route out to Netherbury church and back round to Beaminster. The expedition was assessed externally and all the students who completed both days passed with flying colours. Lynn our assessor was very impressed with their navigation skills and how their team work developed over the two days. Well done Ash students!
