Bronze Practice Duke of Edinburgh Expedition

On Thursday 7th and Friday 8th a group of Nicolson Institute students did their Bronze Practice Expedition on the West Coast of Lewis. They started at Barvas Machair and their first camp site was at South Galson and then the second day they ended the expedition at the old school in Cross.

Morning Briefing with extra members

On the first day the weather was dreich but this didn’t dampen the spirits of the group, the second day was the opposite with blue skies and sunshine.

 

One young person had an unscheduled dip in one of the streams they were crossing resulting in being a little damp.
