TWENTY-SIX students from the fourth, fifth and sixth forms of Shebbear College went on an award-winning adventure to the New Forest recently.

Twenty of them completed their Duke of Edinburgh's bronze final expedition, and six from the sixth form completed the training section of their gold award.

The final challenge involved walking and completing a project for a minimum of six hours each day. They walked through the heart of the historic New Forest in Hampshire, from Burley to Bolderwood via Brockenhurst, camping overnight and covering a total of around 30 miles.
