Once the participant has completed training and practice expeditions, they can start to plan their assesed expedition. They must make sure that their route covers a minimum of 25 Kilometers (15 miles) for Bronze and that each day there is a minimum of 6 hours of planned activity. This includes making breakfast, lunch and dinner and Rigging / de-rigging tents.
The participants must work as a team and decide on a purpose for their expedition. Last years group decided to test the Ph. Levels of ponds in the Beckley area. This meant that they planned their route to pass as many ponds as possible. The group also needs to make their own menus and route tracings and route cards.
