Welcome to the new DofE blog

Hello and welcome to the latest addition to the Electronic Mountain Leader family! This blog will focus on one of my big passions outside of gear; Duke of Edinburgh's Award. I believe passionately in the DofE and have spent many hundreds of hours volunteering on expeditions and sessions to ensure that as many young people as possible have access to the DofE. Having gone through the whole DofE myself (bronze, silver and gold), I have always considered DofE a huge part of the man I am today, and a starting point for my career in outdoor education.

In this blog I will attempt to provide resources for leaders and participants, along with video guides to a number of aspects of DofE, especially relating to the expedition section. Having taken part in a huge number of expeditions I can hopefully offer some constructive information from experience that people will find useful. This blog will be developing a great deal over the next month so subscribe, and watch this space!
