And with that… the combined Gold D of E final expedition to the Outer Hebrides is over, as is this blog. Tomorrow the students break camp and take the ferry back to the mainland. From here they will journey back to Glasgow.

Well done to our 3 groups who have shown incredible levels of resilience over the past 9 days, walking an incredible distance in some real punishing heat.

All of the students made it which is an incredible achievement.

Pizza, juice and access to shops is now the order of the evening as students dig in to their celebratory feast.

Well done everyone… your efforts have been absolutely incredible.
