The last three days I've been working with James and Tommy for the City of Edinburgh Council delivering a Silver DofE Training Expedition in the Borders for Balerno High School. The weather was varied to say the least with sunshine and torrential downpours. We'll done to all the groups for dealing with the conditions.
