All pupils happily settled and asleep by 9:45 after lovely restful evening back at camp. On to day 2. Well done all groups so far; stellar performance and attitude! King's Bruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities #ksbwellesley

Texel and Romney away early. Weather mild but due to warm up. Today's route takes them on an easterly route to Gospel Pass. King's Bruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities

All groups out and away by 9; even though a little less keen to spring out of bed. And at 10, trackers showing all groups making good progress around their routes. King's Bruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities

All 5 groups safely back at camp. A huge effort on what has been a really hot day. A relaxing summer evening beckons before the final day's walk tomorrow. We finish in Hay-on-Wye - hopefully at around 2pm. King's Bruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities

Class of 2024. Job done. It's been an utter pleasure to see these guys excel. The perfect way to leave KSBDofE. I will miss all of this. Thank you for the memories.😢 King's Bruton #ksbdofe #ksbactivities
