Last Summer Kate and five others completed their final expedition in Dartmoor, after a practice expedition in the Brecon Beacons. Despite thick fog and wet weather conditions, they managed to walk over 90km during the 4 day hike. It required team-work and determination to accomplish. Fire lighting skills came to fore to dry off soaking wet clothing each day.
Kate highly recommends doing the Award and said: “It’s been the best experience in my life thus far and has developed my personality, confidence and drive to succeed.”
Kate would like to thank the leaders at Invicta for their support and patience during the last 5 years and their dedication to give up their own time, especially during lengthy expeditions.
