DofE practice

The DofE practice was hell! I came back from Belchampes with my shoulders aching and blisters on the sole of my feet. This was how we started off looking...
... and this was how we ended up looking
On the first day of walking, we started off really excited and cheery, then we got lost for about an hour and I guess that had really dampened our spirits so everyone slowed down (apart from Lyndsey, that girl didn't slow down even once during our walks!). Our shoulders were hurting like hell because of the rucksacks and our legs were aching so much. Because we were behind schedule, we had to change the route. We had to weave through a town and the map we were using doesn't show roads in towns very well, so we ended up lost again (The 2nd picture seen above is when we were sitting on a road while Lyndsey and Mr. Corfield was working out where we were). Haha no one knows where we were and Mr. Corfield had to ask 4 people in total to find out where we were and where we were suppose to be heading. It got gradually worse as we got closer to Belchampes. I think I would have collapsed and given up if I hadn't had Kat-tun to spur me on XD. Thank you Kat-tun for motivating me!!! Only my legs were working when we walked, my brain literally just completely shutted off. Lyndsey was talking to me about something and all i could manage was a nod and then Vaishandjali was asking me the time and i just pointed in the direction we were walking Lol XD. That was how bad it was.

Luckily, things did get better when we reached the campsite. We met up with Gemma :D, who was camping with her explorers people. Lol her friends were stealing our biscuits, eclaires and marshmallows. It was really fun, we chased each other around because of Lyndsey's shoes XD and we stole like half of Roxanne's biscuits so she, Vaish and Kaushi came and attacked our tents. We made a video of it but it's with Ez so i can't upload it.
<< This is the inside of our tent, it may look messy but it was actually very neat and organised. We had a bin, a torch hung up and our things were arranged nicely where we want it. It was very homely :)

The 2nd day was okay. We started off really late; we were the last group to leave but because of our determinationa and amazingness :) we were THIRD to finish the walk, which took us under 3 hours. We were amazing :D !!!
