Duke of Edinburgh


With an MSc assignment deadline looming for Ali I stepped in to cover her commitment to a Bronze DofE group today.

Together with another leader we had a group of six enthusiastic teenagers on a planned practice walk through Staunton country park.

I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed my first encounter with a DofE group. It was a great feeling to help them with their navigation and to be "putting something back" into the community.

Whilst time is limited this year I would like to be more involved with DofE in the years to come. To this end I have signed up for the Mountain Leader Award http://www.mlte.org/ so I can start working on my logbook. I hope to complete my ML Training week at Plas y Brenin towards the end of the year.
