Explorers Complete 5 Day Expedition

Report Date 15/09/06

Four members of the Nexus Explorer Scout Unit and the chairman of the Exeter University Scout and Guide Club recently completed their 5 day expedition towards their Queens Scout and Duke of Edinburgh Gold Awards.

The expedition took place on Exmoor and the Scouts were required to carry all of their equipment and food for the full 5 days.(Editor Note: I got it wrong again! I have now changed this from Dartmoor to Exmoor. Just as well I was not navigating!!)..

The photograph shows Charles, Robert, Richard, Rachel (from Exeter) and Alan at the end of their incredible achievement.

We are very grateful to the Hayling Island Businessman's Club for the use of their minibus to transport these 5 plus their equipment to Devon!
