Silver DofE Update

Good morning from slightly warmer and sunny Silkstone.

Slower start this morning, some tired feet and extra tired faces today.

Day 3 is upon us, they have all shown true grit and determination and as they embark on the last leg they will no doubt dig that bit more to get through.

We will keep you posted on our arrival time home
