Gold D of E, Brecon Beacons

For the last 4 days I have been in the Brecon Beacons with a Gold Duke of Edingburgh Award Group from Haygrove School. The weather on the first day (Sunday) was amazing with fantastic views and plenty of sun. Unfortunatly it deterioated over the next few days culminating in todays low cloud, rain and wind with low visibility on the high ground. A number of peaks were reached by the groups over the four days including Corn Du, Pen Y Fan, Cribyn and Fan Y Big. All those undertaking the assessment were sucessful and those using it as a practice learnt alot and should be ready for assessment at a later date.
