My DD (15) is doing her practice expedition this coming weekend for her Bronze award. We've packed the rucksack ready (including tent/sleeping bag/food etc) but it weighs an absolute ton. I can hardly lift it and she is quite small.
She's splitting the tent - ie. she'll take the shell and her friend will take the other bits.
What happens if she simply can't manage the walk? (they're doing about 13 miles over two days in 25C of heat....) God help her!

Duke of Edinburgh, should my DD's backpack really weigh this much?
