June 27-28, 2024 

Ahead of the Bronze qualifying expedition, please see below an equipment reminder. 

Priority items: 

• Suitable shoes to walk in
• Bag to carry items (60 litres recommended) 
• Sleeping bag
• Sleeping mat - foam ones are the best 
• Waterproofs

If you need to borrow any kit please complete the form sent by Ms Newell to request kit. 

Encourage your child to pack their own bags - it will help them on the expedition and it will allow them to reflect on what they actually need. 

We will be providing students with:

• Tents
• Stoves
• Gas
• Maps
• Compasses

Tents and stoves will be collected in at the end of the qualifying expedition - and must be returned in good condition. 

Students will have planned their meals. It’s important that they pack their food as it will allow them to think about what they have and what they need. Please remember that our expeditions are nuts free.

‍

As part of the expedition requirements they need to cook a hot meal for dinners and possibly for breakfast. We have also advised them to think about breakfast even if they don’t normally eat breakfast.

Key thing to remember is that they will be using considerably more energy than a ‘normal’ day!
