On a rainy Friday morning on April, 12 cadets and 2 staff set of for Winnie the Pooh Territory, Ashdown Forest, Crowborough. Arriving at just before 11:00hrs after a pit stop at Mc Donald's, Spirits were high and Stomachs full. with just a few minuets to get sorted straight after arrival at Pippingford Park we set off for a full day  of walking.

Arriving back around 18:00 we went to make camp but a company of Army Cadets had got  to our chosen location first so we had to go to another part of the Pippingford Park area on a large field were the rumor was there were rabid dear that would kill you in a blink

On Saturday morning we a woke to a hearty breakfast then went off again on are walk unforgettably both groups got lost, some more than others and had to be picked up in the mini bus by Flt Lt Purkiss. we made camp once more and lit a fire and chatted for a while and then went to bed. In the morning we decided to head home after a poor first 2 days, we made our way to McDonalds (where won some food) once more for a last meal, before travelling back in the mini bus we played "yellow car " and "mini" and sang songs from the radio, arriving back at the squadron we had a debrief and cleaned all the kit ant washed the min bus

With our sprits dashed, but our hope high we will plan another expedition and complete our DoE Award
