Forty two Lower 5 girls set off in groups from different locations around Woburn on their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh expedition on Saturday. 

For most of the girls it was their final qualifying expedition, and for a few their first practice.  They walked to Milton Bryan Camp site, following a pre-prepared route (or at least they should have followed their route - some seemed to get a little lost). 

Everyone arrived safely at camp - although some a little later than others; they put up tents, cooked and compared stories before settling in for a good night's sleep.

The weather on Saturday morning was dreadful and everyone got thoroughly wet taking down tents and breaking camp. 

However the girls were not at all deterred and set off on their second days walk in good spirits, and by mid-afternoon everyone had successfully arrived at their final checkpoint, having dried out in the sunshine en route.

Everyone should be congratulated on a good weekend.

Once again we thank Mrs Ross (who now has about 20 tents drying at home!), and the other adult and sixth form helpers - without whom the weekend would not have happened.
