The BTEC National certificate Public Services (Uniformed) course recently underwent a practice expedition run at Suntrap education centre in High Beech, Epping Forest.
The students, who are working towards their bronze award practised how to put up tents, cook using minimal resources, orienteer and practise map reading skills whilst also doing a brisk 4 hour walk through the forest in the rain.
The next challenge is to plan, prepare and undertake a 3 day, 2 night venture in the Gower, Wales at the end of June.
There is also to be at least 6 hours of planned activity each day.
Well done all, and good luck!
