Tuesday 18th June: Practice cooking/checking the weather/issue of stores and equipment.
Wednesday 19th June: Expedition Day 1 (Faversham to Whitstable). Camping out Wednesday night.
Thursday 20th June: Expedition Day 2 (Whitstable to Reculver). Return to college by 1400.

Monday 24th June and all week: Post expedition report/update expedition blogs.

The focus for the expedition will be the defence of the UK through the ages and this will form the underlying theme for your projects. You will see evidence of 2000 years of defence, where Kent and especially the Kent coast has been in the front line. Remember to take a camera!

A few websites to have a look at as part of your preparation:
