Scout Group Two completed a Duke of Edinburgh expedition over two days. On day one, they walked from Teggs Nose Car Park to Lud's Church, passing Trentabank Reservoir and Shuttlingsloe. Along the way, they tried mountain biking, fell running, and pooh sticks. On day two, they walked from Gradbach to The Roaches, passing Panniers Pool and seeing local crafts being sold. They observed activities like swimming, dirt biking, and rock climbing along the route.

Scout Group Two Duke of Edinburgh Expedition
The Mission What leisure activities could you take part in, in the area around our route.
Day 1 Picture: Luds Church
Day 1 Leg 1 We set off from the Teggs Nose Car Park, and walked down the main path to the Leathers Smithy Pub, and Trentabank Reservoir. We then walked round the reservoir , then through the Trentabank car park. This led us to the main forest path, which we took all the way up to the top gate, which leads on the path to the Shuttlingsloe north west side.
First Activity Day: 1 Location: Macc Forest Nr. Trentabank Car Park Activity: Mountain Biking Details: During the walk up Macc Forest to Shuttlingsloe, we saw loads of people mountain biking.

Top Of Shuttlingsloe
Day 1 Leg 2 After reaching the top of Shuttlingsloe, we stopped for a short while for a snack. We set off down the other side of Shuttlingsloe, trying our second recorded activity, Fellrunning (one of our favourite sports, after pooh sticks of course!). We then took the footpath off the road down to clough house, where we had the rest of lunch! We then set off up the road from clough house, leading up to crag hall, where there was an open day/party of some king going on.
Day: 1 Location: Shuttlingsloe, Clough House Side Second Activity Activity: Fellrunning Details: After reaching the top of Shuttlingsloe, we remembered that the Shuttlingsloe And Wildboarclough Fell Race was taking place. As it was one of our main activities, we decided to give it a go.
Our Attempt!
Day 1 Leg 3 We then walked across the fields to cross the A54, which cuts across most of the area. This took us to the moor on the other side, which we walked across to reach the Gradbach area. We walked past the YHA to the midpoint campsite, where we walked up to the crag nr. Luds church. One of us ran up to Lud's church to take some photos, then we walked back to the campsite for some well earned rest.

Day 2 The Roaches & Tittersworth
Day: 1+2 Location: Stream At Hamlet Nr. Gradbach Third Activity Activity: Pooh Sticks Details: We finally had chance to try out our favourite game, which needed no equipment whatsoever. Pooh sticks.

Day 2 Leg 1 We set off from Gradbach, and walked down the road from the YHA to the hamlet nearby. We then set off up the side of the valley to Panniers pool, where we saw people, having a swim, dirt biking, and using the rope swing. We set off from panniers pool, and walked up the track on the hill, at the top of the hill there was a small hamlet, with beehives outside. From a small basket outside you could buy beeswax and handmade postcards etc. an example of local produce and trade.

Day 2 Leg 2 We then walked back down the hill, where a dirt bike race was taking place. We then took the path across the fields and rises until we got to the road, which we walked along to the main junction by another hamlet. We then walked to the top of the next hill on the road, where we stopped for water. We then took the path across the moor, and through the nearby farms, where there were people quad biking. We then walked off path up the moors to the roaches, where we finished.
Activity 4 Climbing
Activity 4 Climbing Rock climbing another one of our favourite activities, was the last main activity we observed on the walk. The roaches is an excellent spot for climbing, if you have a partner who knows how to lead, as it is a natural U.K. rock formation, therefore permanent bolts used for toproping aren't allowed.
