Top man :thumbs As said above , a top scheme that gets kids away from screens and such. I remember my DOE . Probably where I got my love of offroading from. Out over the Brecons on camp and map session :camping:
I hope it's not gone all soft like scouts has now

Nice to have recognition for your hard work and commitment.

Cheers guys, defo not gone soft. I never did d of e but I can confirm it's still just as hard as ever but different challenges available. For another qual I did the equivelant of a silver exped and have to say I really take my hat off to the young people who do the expeds.

Looking forward to getting the assessors qual eventually.

Pete, glad it went off ok and believe me I really wanted to be there. That kind of excersize is just my thing too, Brian says there are going to be more next year so fingers crossed I can make those.

Have to say there must of been 50 or 60 young people getting their bronze, silver and gold certificates. I had nothing but admiration for them. The whole day really made up for missing out on the radio Pete.

This country needs more guys like you to keep these awards real.
Well done again :thumb2

Cheers guys Im still buzzing. I'm out this weekend taking some young people up to the Dales doing some walking. Not D of E but still introducing them to navigation. Going to be shattered on Sunday when I get home but great fun.

Just had an email today, I'm on the next two d of e leadership courses at the end of February. Got to go all the way down to a place called Wyton in Cambridgeshire, RAC Route Planner says 2 1/2 hours so I'll add an hour on to that :doh

 

[Banshee]

Congratulations Mate :thumb2

I did my Bronze and Silver whist in the air cadets like Pete and also strangely didn't complete my Gold for the same reason :augie

I think me and Pete are the same person lol

 

[Bigbunny2007]

Should be a good weekend mate, great qualification to have. I admire the effort that your putting into younger people not many people make time to help others like your doing. Keep up the good work :thumb2

 

[jims-terrano]

I and others wouldn't do it if we didn't enjoy it. Another seven years and your lad can come along:lol

 

[johnb5177]

Well done Jim, a great achievement, with more to come......like others on here I got my Bronze and Silver.......and also discovered girls before Gold!
However, it did reinforce my great love of the countryside, outdoors and the incredible social benefits you can achieve.
It was highly significant in my future career in countryside management......:thumb2
