We decided to head to Corfe as planned but altered the route due to the dodgy road conditions as some of the little lanes down to access the coastal areas we were going to use weren’t the best idea! I had lots of spare clothes packed but did a last minute raid of my kit box for even more, it was a bit nippy!
Bed next?! I don’t think so! Despite Jack’s strong pleas they were dropped off in the middle of nowhere to walk back. This is where the group really needed to manage their emotions as they faced a huge hill challenge on little food, exhaustion and freezing cold temperatures. This was tough for some people, even tougher was being able to get over this, grit your teeth and persevere… Some of the team racked up a spectacular 19 times up one of the icey hills and there was definitely no giving up!

It was going to be a cold, cold night!
That evening, everyone wanted to curl up for an extra long sleep but that wasn’t to be the case as they had to cook their menus purchased the day before, write risk assessments, plan route and think about jobs and equipment for the expeditions as well as being interviewed. By this time the group was a really strong team and it was brilliant seeing new relationships develop and the working together as a family unit! Faye did a fab job at keeping the boys in check and convincing Jack that if you knock over a drink the normal protocol is to actually clean it up!!
SNOW! Even more snow! We rapidly heard about the blizzards that had hit 
We made it! The journey was horrendous and long as a result of the traffic but on reaching
