The first group of Year 10 students successfully completed their Duke of Edinburgh bronze expedition last week. The group set off early on Tuesday morning arriving at Housesteads Visitor Centre. They then completed their 8km hike in cold and wet conditions before successfully setting up camp for the night. The group then cooked their own expedition meals using trangia stoves.

In better conditions the following morning the group were up early and powered through another 8km, before safely arriving back at the minibus and heading home. The group are inspired to get out on some more hikes and enjoy the great outdoors!
