Route planning and training finishing touches

Our 73 students doing the Bronze award this year have just over a week to go to their practice expedition. Our computer room was pretty much full today with groups editing their practice routes and making their route cards as detailed as possible.

D - Direction

D - Distance

J - Journey - What are your tick features for each part of your journey? What is/are your catch
                     features?

The students did really well and some even brushed up on taking a bearing from the map, well done guys. More photos to follow. Below are some photos from the recent campcraft session looking at our Vango Banshee tents.
