Duke of Edinburgh Students Complete Guisborough Three Peaks Challenge

Despite facing some wet and windy weather, students from  our Duke of Edinburgh group successfully completed the Guisborough Three Peaks Challenge on Friday. The route covers approximately 6.5 miles (10.5 km) and takes in three local landmarks: Roseberry Topping, Hanging Stone and Highcliff Nab.
 
The walk tested pupils' resilience, determination and teamwork as they tackled challenging conditions throughout the day. Their efforts were rewarded by reaching all three peaks, including Roseberry Topping, the highest point on the route at 320 metres above sea level. 
 
Staff were extremely proud of the way pupils supported one another and showed perseverance when the weather made the challenge even tougher. Completing the walk was a fantastic achievement and an excellent example of the commitment and resilience that the Duke of Edinburgh Award helps to develop.
