Comments from
past
ventures

"I had a brilliant week."

"We are all so proud of ourselves but it couldn't have been done without all your support."

"Fab organisation and great food!"

"I met some brilliant people who I'm sure I will keep in contact with and the week itself, I'll always remember."

"I will definitely be recommending you guys to anyone who asks!"

"Just wanted to say a big thank you to you and all of the Duke of Ed team. I really enjoyed it last week- was the best Duke of Ed experience I've had. I found it daunting coming over from Northern Ireland not knowing anyone there but everyone was so friendly and made me feel right at home."

Each year,  we usually have over 300 enquiries regarding the Open Gold week and the maximum number of places available is 42, so booking early is recommended to avoid disappointment.

The success of these Open Gold weeks is reflected by the positive comments received from the participants, their DofE leaders and parents, and the DofE's Head Office.
 

 
 

 
Supervision and assessment is provided by qualified and experienced instructors.

There is no requirement for the participant, DofE Group or Operating Authority, to supply supervisors for this expedition.
 

 

 
The week includes the opportunity for participants to plan all aspects of the expedition; a pre-expedition check; time to shop for perishable food items; undertake an acclimatisation walk and the qualifying expedition or practice journey; time to prepare and present a debrief and account of the expedition.

Accommodation prior to and after the expedition is indoors,
based at ‘Broadleas’, the Boys’ Brigade West of England and Channel Islands District Camping and Training Centre at Haytor (Google Maps), allowing participants to plan and prepare for their expedition in comfort, as well as offering a suitable venue to wind down, prepare and present their debrief and account of the expedition.
