Open Gold Training, Practice & Assessed Expedition

For 2024 we are running an open Gold expediton package that will include all training and a Practice Expedition in one 6 day stint and then an Assessed Expedition that you can take at the end of August (in the Lake District) or the end of October (In Yorkshire).

The course consists of 3 evenings and two days of training followed immediately by a 3 day and 2 night practice expedition. During your training you will cover all areas of the DofE expedition syllabus and plan your practice expedition. You will then start a 3 day practice expedition on day 4 of the programme. You then have the choice of taking your qualifying expedition with us at the end of August in the Lake District or the end of October in the Yorkshire Dales.

During the training element of this course food and accommodation is included in the price as are all campsite fees when on expedition. You will, however, have to supply all your expedition food as this is not included in the price. There will be an opportunity to buy food the day before the practice expedition (after the menu planning session).

If you want to attend the Training and the practice only then this is possible, Price £410
