Duke of Edinburgh
Eight young people from Torfaen Council’s Youth Service Duke of Edinburgh Open Award Centre recently travelled to Germany to complete their silver award expedition. The 48km walk took place over three days with two overnight camps.
The expedition was based around Bretten, the twin town of Pontypool, and Bruchsal, the twin town of Cwmbran. It was supported financially by Torfaen Council, Pontypool Community Council, Cwmbran Friends of Bruchsal Society, Pontypool Twinning Association, and various fundraising events.
New members aged 14 or over who want to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh scheme should go along to Llantarnam leisure centre between 6.30pm and 9pm every Friday.
