I'm back from DofE!It was hard, tiring and physically painful but I still managed to return home with a smile on my face.If you don't know what DofE is, basically DofE stands for Duke of Edinburgh. It's a programme all about navigating in the wild, you know without a parent and just basically learning to explore. It also looks really good on your CV and there are three different heights you can complete it to: Bronze,Sliver and Gold. Bronze is what I did, where you camp for one night and walk for two. Sliver is where you camp for 2 nights and walk for 3, and I think Gold is camp for 3 nights and walk for 4, but I'm not going further than Bronze!
You may think "woah why not go on to sliver that sounds great" well I would go on to sliver if it wasn't for 10kg bags and 32km of walking and that was just Bronze! I'm really not sporty so this was hard for me, but overall I had a great time with my friends and barely getting lost.
Our aim work was "Where's Carys", so you can play this game!
One of my favourites haha
This was at like 9 in the morning
Apparently I looked like Gollum
We just got to the top of a VERY big hill!
This was at 8 am on the last day, we wanted to get home as quickly as possible.
I was in a silly mood ok

So this was my DofE, It was fun but I am extremely glad to be home!
Have you done DofE or anything similar?
~Thanks for reading~
Well done on doing your bronze! I've done mine too- I think the worst part was definitely the night, our group managed to leave the tent unzipped and when we came back a few minutes later, it was infested with midges and insects! :S
