Duke of Edinburgh Award - Gold Residential
You look out across the clear blue skies; the sea is lapping at your feet. Turning back from your moment of thought you see a rope. However, the rope is suspended across a zawn above the sea. Your instructor is smiling reassuringly at you...
"Who’s first?", they ask.
Are you up for the challenge?
North Wales is blessed with a stunning landscape; indeed there are many fantastic outdoor locations on the doorstep of Blue Peris. There really is no better place to spend time completing your Gold Residential. If you are ready for a 'real' challenge and happy to leave the dry stone wall building and other low key on site activities to others, then Blue Peris is the answer.
The 'real' challenges you will face are exciting activities such as Gorge Walking, Kayaking, Mining, Coasteering, Rock Climbing and Sea Level Traversing. Alongside these absorbing activities there is also a comprehensive evening programme.
So, come on our course, make new friends, have new experiences and enjoy an exciting and fun-packed time.
Working in view of D of E objectives (please check with your local area) we can only accept upto three individuals from the same area.
