Hi All. Sorry it's been a while, but I thought I'd write a post on my first weekend on Duke of Edinburgh. It was a fun weekend! On the Saturday we had to be there by half past 8 with all our kit, waterproof trousers coat everything like that and rucksacks for our lunch and everything else. Then when we got on the bus we drove to the Malvern Hills, and we got there about 10.
Then we started to walk, it rained a bit, but then later on in the afternoon it brightened up!
It was a long walk but we managed it and yes this time I did have water! or enough of i t!!
Then it was time to go back to college and as we drove back I thought of sleeping in a cold, wet, horrible tent, but realised why think negative and think positive instead! So when we got back we set up our tents and as we had got back early due to a student wearing the wrong shoes, we were allowed to go back to our houses and hostel to have a bit of free time.
Then at half past 9 we went back to the camp site, and then we got ourselves ready for bed and snuggled down for the night.
Then Sunday morning dawned and we were freeeeezing cold! There was even a frost on the tent!
We got to go back to houses for breakfast, and then we had to be back for 9 to go to the Wyre Forest this time, and then we started our long walk. There was 4 maps we had to read, and although my navigation skills aren't quite there, they are getting there.
Then about 4 we got back after a good weekend walking. The fresh air I think sent us a bit nuts as a few of my friends started talking cave men lol!
Good weekend overall
