Bellver students get their first taste of adventure in 2016: climbing Penyals d’Honor

For the third year running, the International Duke of Edinburgh team has taken a group of daring Bellverians to Bunyola to put their outdoor skills into practice. Equipped with rucksacks, camping gear, maps and, most importantly, well-planned route cards the young adventurers completed the 600m climb in a record breaking time. The impressive views over Orient valley made them forget the strenuous exercise they had done to reach the summit. Next time they will have to allocate more time to explore the area and enjoy the journey since our expeditions are not a race. 
There were opportunities to learn how to pitch a tent and cook a tasty meal. Participants were tested on their orienteering skills which will have to be improved for the practice expedition that will take place in April. A great experience that will be followed by even better ones!
