Bronze Practice ExpeditionMAP – PICK UP – Albury Sports GroundThe collection point is Albury Cricket Ground, GU5 9DB.As with the previous expeditions, I would anticipate students being ready for collection from about 4 pmonwards. However, as before they will be able to use a member of staff’s mobile phone to inform you about anhour before should they be expected earlier.

Bronze Final Expedition 1MAP – PICK UPPick up for the DofE expeditions is from the Hill Barn Car park located immediately after the village of Cockingon the A286 Southbound from Midhurst towards Chichester. The car park is signposted and is on the righthand side of the road. If you overshoot the next village is Singleton. The following post code is for the farmHill Barn located opposite the car park: GU29 0HS. Please could I ask you not to arrive in advance as the carpark will not accommodate many cars. Students will ring when they arrive at the car park and this will givethem time to be debriefed by their assessor and any school equipment to be collected from them.
