DofE practice walk

Today Rhiannon went on an all day hike with her DofE team. They had to carry packs that weighed between 15-20 kgs and were packed with the critical items they would need when they do a real expedition (minus the tent and sleeping bag). Here she is weighing in.
 I dropped her off this morning at 9am and got a call around 4:30 pm to say that she was 30 min from the pick up spot. She was pretty tired but happy (although she doesn't look it in this 'moody teenager' photo!). In fact, she even said she had a fun day.
This makes me happy. I have always been worried that we overdid the hiking/ outdoors adventure thing when the kids were younger.
