• Our first aim was to observe as much wildlife as possible varying from in a field to alongside the canal bank.• Another aim was to try and

complete the walk on each day as quickly and efficiently as possible.• And lastly, we aimed to work

well together as a team and communicate.

blackbird on day 1.

DAY ONE On day one we walked from a village called Cold Ashby to Sibertoft. We walked 8 miles and it took us around 6 Hours. It wasn’t too hard, but knowing that we have got to walk 12 miles tomorrow made it seem that we hadn’t walked far at all today and that tomorrow was going to be twice as hard. In the evening we joined with the other silver group and played rounders (the girls won)

DAY TWO On day two we walked from Sibertoft, through Foxton Locks and to the Waterloo campsite in Market Harborough. Right at the beginning of the day we had to walk through a rapeseed field, this ended up with us being covered in cuts, but it was quite a fun and different way to start the day. We aimed to stop for lunch at Foxton Locks and we did. We walked for 12 miles and it took us about 8 hours, this was the hardest day of all three. It was so nice to get to the campsite at the end of the day, we even played golf.

DAY THREE

Day three we walked from Waterloo campsite through an aviation museum to Drougton Village where we finally finished. For the whole of day there both of the silver groups joined together and it was nice to work with and talk to different people.
