To successfully complete the Silver Expedition unit with the Urdd, there is a number of things you will have to do:

  • Register online and pay a deposit to secure a place, with the remaining cost paid 3-4 weeks before the final expedition.
  • You must participate in the training day before the expeditions, no matter how much you already know - this is so we can ensure that you receive the right training before taking part in the expedition. We will also share some important information throughout the training day.
  • Follow the Expedition Requirements set by the Duke of Edinburgh Award which includes:

    - Walk as a group of 4-7 members

    - As part of a group, you must write a meal plan and daily route cards for each expedition

    - As a group, you must come up with an aim to complete over the expeditions

    - You must be self-sufficient for the whole of the expedition and walking will be your mode of transport

    - Camp overnight in a tent

          - See the Expedition Requirements Below

 

Once you have registered, we will be in touch once the booking window has closed with important information for the training day and expeditions.
