silver d of e trip

Today, our Silver D of E students have arrived in scenic Hardraw in the Yorkshire Dales to commence training for the qualification. They wasted no time starting training in map skills, before heading out for their first walk of the expedition. We're hoping the predicted thunder holds off long enough for them to be able to enjoy a fish and chip supper later, which they're all very much looking forward to!

During day 2, our students enjoyed a visit to the National Theatre and, in addition to a backstage tour:

They also got to participate in a fantastic workshop:

The evening was spent enjoying some fine dining in the capital:

Before going to the West End to see the UK premiere of the fabulous award-winning Broadway musical Hadestown at the Lyric theatre:

Truly inspirational, with huge thanks to all the staff who organise and support these wonderful enrichment opportunities for our students.
