Anyone else just got a DC back from DofE??

I think from the DofE food thread there were several of us experiencing the “joy” of DC on bronze practice expeditions. I’m assuming those doing silver and gold have actually chosen to do so whereas bronze is quasi-compulsory at DDs school.

So she is back. Exhausted, muddy and fairly bad tempered. Sleeping outside is apparently “cold” and “lame”. Her hair has gone curly either from moisture, the stress of being outside or some combination of both. The tortellini was a surprising hit, as was the gloopy pasta sauce to go with it. The standout hit was the pouch of instant coffe from Poundland which she was dispensing freely and made her very popular. The Momo breakfast porridge pots were also very good.

They got lost. I’m wondering if at any stage whether the spurned offer from DH on both Weds and Thurs evening to go over the basics of map reading was revisited as actually quite a useful suggestion. Apparently maps are also lame and “like, an old person’s thing”. They had their phones taken away from them which I understand is, like, a breach of the UN Convention on Human Rights.

Grin I know a lot of people who think like that.

Then some really take to it and begin a life of trying new things Smile.

Even those that completed gold and found it unbearable, miserable, freezing, lost miles from anywhere, broken tents, fallen in bogs, knocked over by strong streams 18" deep....gained so much on so many levels, and certainly that phones are not the be-all and end-all of life!
