D of E Qualifying Expedition

30/7/2014

0 Comments

 
After a full year of training, practicing and working extremely hard, the Duke of Edinburgh participants finally set off to carry out their qualifying expedition on the weekend of the 13th of June. It required a lot of preparation, having had many lessons to plan out the trip, including the route and the resources they would need, but all that work came to fruition. 

With their hopes high, the students started in Pollensa and walked all the way to a refuge in Binifaldó, where after a day of adventure in the mountain they could relax and replenish their energy. Having done so, they continued their journey in the morning, this time going from the refuge to Lluc, and once they had visited the emblematic sanctuary, they managed to practically climb a mountain, all the while investigating the lost jobs in the area. It was probably the hardest part of the trip, but after reaching the top they felt very gratified for having accomplished such a feat. They headed down and reached the campsite, where after a full night’s sleep, they set off to finish the last day of the expedition, travelling from Lluc to Caimari, where they were accompanied by rain and thunder. But they managed to make it nonetheless, proving how good adventurers they were.

It wasn’t easy, but at the end they were all proud of themselves and of each other for having made it this far, and for being able to survive independently for this long. This marked the end of the trip, and of this year’s Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. All the participants are looking forward to continuing DofE next year, and have as much fun as they did this year, making new memories as unforgettable as this year.
