In a fit of madness, or something like that, I have signed Hilda and myself up for the DofE's Diamond Adventure.
I have been chatting with a school friend who is also signed up for this (her challenge is different to mine) and we don't remember Duke of Edinburgh being offered when we were at school. My younger sister did it so we think she must have been one of the first people to be offered it through the school we went to.
Hilda and I will be off on a Wild Camp in July 2016. It's a week that I have off work, it is before the schools break up for the summer so I am hoping that it will be quiet and that we might have some decent weather.
I have chosen the Galloway Forest Park as it's not too far to get to and there is plenty of space and quite a few bothies as backup in case the weather turns out to be truly dreadful.
