On Friday we spent the day preparing for the expedition as part of the DOfE training programme . First, we familiarised ourselves with the size of rucksack we would need. We each had to walk up and down the stairs with it a few times to get an idea of what to expect when negotiating the difficult terrain. Our next task was to learn how to set up a tent and to prepare a campfire safely. As part of the expedition we are expected to meet the conditions of the program, for example: to eat at least one hot meal a day. Then, we returned to the classroom where we learned about the rules for a successful mission. We are looking forward to the journey together and gaining new experiences and memories..
