We have just got back from the South Downs where six cadets completed their Silver D of E practice expedition. Joining us on this expedition was the Squadron's Chairman Chris Donley.
Day 1 started with constant rain all morning, however this cleared by lunch time and quite pleasant weather continued for the remainder of the weekend. All cadets proved their excellent navigation skills and were able to complete the walks unassisted. These cadets will go on to their assessed expedition, taking place in the Peak District later this month.
Cadets who have not yet completed a Bronze expedition are reminded that 1483 (Brentwood) squadron have offered us an opportunity to attend a practice expedition next weekend (11 - 12 May), I hope to see as many of you there as possible.
A few pictures from the silver practice are below.
