Seventeen Year 11 pupils and one Year 13 student completed a challenging two-day expedition over the weekend of 1-2 October.  It was the assessed expedition for their Duke of Edinburgh’s Bronze Award, and it took place in the Pennines in between Hebden Bridge and Ogden Water, to the north-west of Halifax.  They walked for at least six hours each day.  Conditions on the Saturday were especially challenging thanks to the steep climbs and unseasonably hot temperatures.  One group made it in to the campsite in the dark, but there was a turnaround in their fortunes on the second day, when they finished first, and it was the turn of the other two groups to make navigational mistakes!

Thanks to all of the staff who helped out at this event – Mr Robinson, Dr Sykes, Mrs Jobling, Mrs Hainsworth, Mr Wormald, and Mr McDermott.
