Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award
By this stage most groups have a good idea of their chosen expedition, but the Silver Award phase provides an ideal opportunity for the participants to consider many different activities. Why not try canoeing or kayaking as an alternative activity, at a totally new venue? We have seen an increase in recent years of full Award completion (Bronze through to Gold) and we feel this is due to our progressive approach to the Award. Our aim is to retain the interest of the participants so that even more of them progress to Gold.
The duration of the expeditions at this level are as follows:
3 days and 2 nights
At least 7 hours during the daytime (at least 3.5 of which must be spent journeying)
Adventure Beyond are here to help you through this process, and all you need to do is decide on the mode of transport to use:
Venues: At this stage it can be beneficial to travel to a different region, refining the skills learned at Bronze level in a new and stimulating area, such as:
The River Tamar, Dartmoor and Exmoor
Scotland, The Caledonian Canal, The Firth of Forth
Brecon Beacons
Mid Wales
North Wales/Snowdonia
Peak District
Lake District
Ireland
Pembrokeshire Coast
The Norfolk Broads
We are always looking for new and exciting venues, so if you have an area in mind or want to discuss ideas please contact us.
