Duke of Edinburgh Award


By the time that you read this I will probably be in the middle of no where on the last of three days walking camping and eating my weight in tasteless food. This was because I was taking part in my qualifying expedition for my Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award. 
For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about and questioning why the hell am I doing it, it is an award scheme which is split into four parts (five at Gold level as this includes a residential trip): Skill, Physical, Volunteering and the Expedition. Many people take part in this as it looks good on a CV and universities, colleges and employers value award holders. If you wanna know more click HERE.
After doing my Bronze Award last year I willingly signed up to Silver, this included two sets of six month and one of three months for the skill, physical and volunteering sections and a three day expedition with two nights camping.

 If I'm being honest I don't really know why I continued or why I even signed up in the first place. I guess everyone I knew was doing and it looked like it'd be a laugh (which it was most the time...when it wasn't raining). 

Sorry that this post is very short and not very interesting...I will be back to normal next week!
