Determination, grit and resilience were the words of the week for Year 11 and Year 13 students who took part in the Duke of Edinburgh expeditions in The Yorkshire Dales. The groups were battered by strong winds; heavy rain; blisters; waterlogged campsites and broken tents. Despite the poor conditions they all managed to finish their expeditions through a mixture of determination, fantastic teamwork and cake – some of them even manged it with a smile on their faces! Well done to everyone involved; I’m very proud of you all and it was fantastic to see such amazing young people achieving so much. I won’t embarrass you by putting photos up of you but I did see a lovely waterfall en route and there were some beautiful views! Thanks as usual to all the staff who gave up their time to come and help.
