An ideal day If you want to get out in the mountains but would prefer to let someone else take care of the planning and navigation and safety of the day.

"The mountain leaders for our Year 10 Geography Field-trip made sure our group were safe and well cared for, and helped us to achieve all of our goals. The team were experienced and informative and dealt with all of our young people with professionalism, care and good humour. We are looking forward to next years trip already".

For many DofE participants, the thought of not showering and spending a significant chunk of time feeling a little damp is almost a deal-breaker.

We caught up with Grace Knill to hear why adventure and mental health go hand in hand.
