A pleasure to have spent the past four days with twelve brilliant Gold participants. They have excelled in their expedition and they are the most team spirited groups I have ever seen.!

All aspects of weather over the four days, including a windy wild camp. They covered quite some distance and did this with smiles and songs. Believe in yourselves as you will achieve what you want.

Well done all of you!

Congratulations to the nine groups who have passed their Bronze expedition. They worked very well together, they managed to navigate in a difficult terrain and they overcame the heat. Well done all, just need to finish your other sections and get ready to move onto Silver.

13 Gold participants had a great weekend in The Yorkshire Dales walking for well over eight hours a day and completing the three Yorkshire Peaks which involved a total ascent of 1,585 meters (5,200 feet) to conquer the summits of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough. They managed to show that they are more than ready for their qualifier, dealing with some nasty weather and quite a few miles. Well done 👏

Brilliant Silver Qualifying expedition in Yorkshire Dales. 23 lovely participants showed that they have taken in their training and smashed their expedition. All have passed and set the bar for their Gold. Well done 👏

Thanks to all the adult support who made the weekend easier than it should have been.
