“I was so proud of myself for finishing my Gold expedition. It was very difficult at times, especially walking uphill when it was really hot and sunny, but we had so much fun and my team was amazing. We supported each other every step of the way

“The instructors were really helpful and kind and motivated us all to keep going even when our legs were tired. My favourite day was the wild camp, waking up on the hillside with an amazing sunrise. I’ll never forget this experience.”
