BRONZE
​Practice and qualifying expeditions usually take place in the varied scenery of North East Wales; the Clwydian Hills and the area around Llangollen are our favourite locations.

​
​SILVER
Expeditions at silver level require wilder countryside; the Denbighshire Moors, Llantysillio Mountain and the Berwyn Hills are great places for adventures, but the Peak District is another popular choice.
GOLD
Gold expeditions require more wilderness locations; such as Snowdonia or the Lake District. Assessment for gold can be arranged.

The DofE Award

The Duke of Edinburgh Award is much sought after from employers to universities. However it is much more than just a CV filler, it shows that you have mastered new skills, taken part in tough physical tasks, spent hours volunteering, and have shown a level of commitment that adults often claim is missing in younger generations. The expedition section is just one part of the DofE Award, one that Wildside Expeditions can help you achieve in safe conditions with plenty of laughter on the way.
