Note that these
expeditions rely on support from parents. Staff will be in the area
to monitor progess and for your safety. Equipment beyond personal
kit is provided by QEGS (stoves, tents, maps etc) but you will have
to provide all your own food and Coleman gas, AND COMPASS. The cost
of this expedition is £10. If you wish to go bring a completed
consent form and a cheque for £10 made payable to QEGS to
Mr McWilliam.
Dates of the
expedition are:
| Expedition
1 |
September 23th - 25th 2011 |
| Expedition
2 |
October 7th - 9th 2011 |
Due to daylight issues, groups are
expected to make prompt starts to their walking days. It is not
considered safe for groups to be walking after dark. An early start
will mean that late arrival is not an issue. FOR REASONS OF SAFETY,
GROUPS WHO ARE STILL WALKING AFTER SUNSET MAY BE REMOVED FROM EXPEDITION.
Please note that if you play rugby
for a school team then you can only walk on the second expedition..
