What counts for your Gold Expedition?
The Gold Expedition section of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award requires you to plan, train for and complete an unaccompanied, self-reliant expedition with an agreed aim. Prior to your qualifying 4-day expedition you must do the correct Gold level training relevant to your mode of travel.
Your Gold Expedition can be completed on foot, by bicycle, by boat, by canoe or kayak or by wheelchair, but essentially must be completed by your own physical efforts where the route is one continuous journey.
Our Gold Expedition package includes
- Transport between Milton Keynes and the expedition location
- Experienced, qualified and friendly leaders who will do all they can to support your successful completion
- Camp fees for expedition nights
- Kit advice
- Maps & compasses, tents, stoves, gas, team rucksack covers
- Trackers
