DofE expedition

At WWESU, we have leaders with Scout awarded hill walking permits (and first aid qualifications) which allows us to organise DofE expeditions up to gold award standard.

Bronze award hikes are 2 days with an overnight camp, usually relatively local. Silver expeditions are typically in North Yorkshire moorland over 3 days with 2 night’s camping. Gold award expeditions are in unfamiliar territory (e.g. north Wales, Scotland) over 4 days with 3 night’s camping.

There is a lot more information about hiking / expeditions in our hiking section of this website.

While we can accommodate walking / hiking expeditions, you can also do a variety of “self powered” (non-motorised) methods including kayak / canoe, sailing, rowing, horse riding, bicycle & wheelchair. For these, we suggest you look in the edfoe opportunity finder.
