Duke of Edinburgh<br />
Award Expedition - July <strong>2019</strong><br />
On<br />
the weekend of the 5th and 6th July <strong>2019</strong> 44 year 9 students embarked on<br />
their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze award expedition to Chalfont Heights.<br />
Using all of their map reading, team work and navigation skills they tackled a<br />
challenging 24km hike over two days, encountering a range of challenges as they<br />
did so! From tackling difficult terrain to dealing with the terrifying threat of horses,<br />
all students worked incredibly well in their teams to support and motivate each<br />
other. Weeks of classroom training were suddenly made very real when faced with<br />
the outdoors, a map and a compass to get you back to the safety of the campsite.<br />
After a challenging first day which included getting lost, many stinging nettles<br />
and a horse rescue mission from Mrs Brooks, students showed off their well-honed<br />
camp skills: putting up tents, cooking over their stoves and supporting each other as<br />
they relaxed after a long day. Day two, and the teams had learnt from the mistakes<br />
of day one and managed their day much more carefully; everyone managed to<br />
get to the end point on time and achieved the aims of their expedition. Particular<br />
congratulations go to group 1 – Angel, Nadra, Kinza, Amandeep, Aja and Isra –<br />
who were the first to reach camp on day one and complete the whole route on<br />
day two entirely independently. They showed incredible team work, supporting<br />
each other through some very difficult moments, and were an absolute credit to<br />
themselves and the school.<br />
Massive thanks also go to the staff who gave up their time to support the students<br />
in a number of ways, going well beyond the normal demands of the classroom<br />
and demonstrating the dedication to the students which makes the <strong>Cranford</strong> staff<br />
so special: Mr Venancio Ferreira, Ms Shaikh, Mr Bussue and Mr Lennon for<br />
accompanying, assessing and supporting students throughout the expedition. Ms<br />
Ledlie, Mr Dhokia and Mr Nation-Tellery for their help in the training process<br />
(particularly accompanying the very wet training hike!) and Ms Bendix, Mr<br />
Fraser, Ms Prunty, Ms Gladysz and Ms Brown for supporting the logistical and<br />
administration side of the expedition.<br />
