Year 9 Bronze DofE Group C (10am)

Natalie McGillivary

Dear Parent or Carer,

Thanks for your patience with finding out the specific start point for your child on their Bronze Y9 DofE expedition. When there are so many students involved, we have needed to have different start points, different camp sites, different routes, different arrival times (waves), and with trying to keep students with their friends as much as possible and take into account students car sharing with other students in different walking groups, it has made it particularly tricky. We really appreciate your understanding.

 

This message is to confirm that your child needs to come to [START POINT C – this is at: Whitefield ‘X-mas tree’ Carpark, Delamere Forest, CW8 2JG]. Your child needs to aim to arrive at 10am (wave 2) but it is not a disaster if they can’t and can only be dropped off at the wave 1 time, please just email ndixon@lymmhigh.org.uk so we are aware though. Please use the ‘What 3 Words’ app scanner.unlisted.lace for the specific location which can be put into sat nav and usually provides more accurate directions, but please also use the description on the Info Sheet which you can access here.
