Eleven IB1 and IB2 students completed their Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Award in October 2004. To train for the Expedition the students attended two weekends of acclimatization in Wales; one walking and the other canoeing. The expedition took place in south Wales where the students spent a gruelling four days on the move; two days walking around quarries and the other two canoeing along the Brecon and Monmouthshire canal. The purpose of the expedition was to assess the transport system in Wales when lime was moved from the mountains to the canals and then into the towns for use. As well as gaining the Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Award Expedition section of the award, the students also passed a level two canoeing qualification.
