Our wonderful Australian exchange student was invited along for the experience and also had a great time. He saw the English Lakes at its very best, including wonderful views of Lake Windermere.
A good time was had by all, blisters and all.
Teenager messes around at the campsite with his pals.
Teenager settles down for a good night's sleep ( or not as the case maybe). He is not a great fan of camping ( creature comforts and all that) but is prepared to do it for the greater good ( and the social opportunities!)

Great experiences and good memories in the making...but I agree with Teenager: I'd rather sleep in my bed than on the ground. The hiking and cooking out are fine; it's the sleeping and toilet arrangements that I don't like!
(P.S. What does the Duke of E have to do with this activity?)
Weather looks idyllic! Nice to know it's not just the South of England which was enjoying a fabulous swansong to summer last weekend!
Your teen looks as unconvinced about camping as I've ever been.
Looks like it was all great fun, though.
Karen- he is the patron and sponsor and possibly came up with the idea in the first instance. Its very popular here now and well established
My boy is doing DoE bronze at the moment- he loves it too. A real challenge to get themselves organised and I think it will really benefit them in later life
Wow! That looks fab, and weren't they lucky with the weather?!
Unfortunately I have had to make my Blog invite only for a while. If you wish to keep reading my ramblings, please e mail me for an invite. (email address on my profile page)
