Paul Hunt - Mountain Training Instructor. First aid training for DofE expeditions. Www.bathbb.org.uk/files/dofe_bronze_training_booklet.pdf. Indie Outdoors | DofE Food Ideas. Choosing the right amount and right kind of food will make a huge difference to how successful and enjoyable your DofE expedition will be. Personal preference Choosing foods you like makes all the difference on your expedition because it will really improve your mood if you eat something you like and make you depressed and ready to give up if you are trying to eat something you hate.
However many people, especially at bronze, choose things just because they like them without considering the things below and end up with something that's really heavy, goes bad, doesn't fill them up or that won't cook properly. Calories You need to be aiming to eat at least 2,000 calories per day if not 3,000. This is a lot of food however and I haven't seen many DofE participants eat 3,000 calories a day. On packaging calories are written as kcal / 100g which means how many thousands of calories there are per 100g. Balance of food groups Carbohydrates are normally the main body of any meal. Menu planning Lunch. Indie Outdoors | DofE Route Cards. Filling in route cards can be time consuming until you have had some practice but if you can get into the habit of referring to them at each stage of your journey they can help make sure you do not get lost and speed up your navigation.
How to Fill in a Route Card All the information at the top of the card is pretty straightforward. The bit we are going to concentrate on is the section where you fill in the legs of your journey. Legs First you need to decide how long a leg should be and how many legs your journey should be broken into. Generally speaking a leg is a section of a journey which follows a certain path or feature or travels between two obvious landmarks or it could be a section of journey which essentially travels in one direction.
The idea is: one person is navigating with the map and one holds the route card. Direction You should not need to use a compass when working out your general direction. Distance Height climbed Time allowed for journeying Estimated time of arrival. Teaching Resources | DofE Expeditions. If you find this resource useful please consider linking to this page As part of DofE London Region's select team of Outdoor Educators, I advise and deliver training to people who provide expeditions in their own school, youth service or borough.
I've also delivered many, many, practice and qualifying expeditions. This page is devoted to some of the teaching resources that I find helpful; which you're welcome to download and use.

Growth in young people from the start to the finish of an expedition programme has to be seen to be believed.
