EXPEDITION PLANNING

Planning the second of the 1 day expeditions: Leg 2 of the London Loop, scheduled for Wed 08 May 13.

1. You will need to carry out the planning for the second 1 day expedition, which will qualify you for P4 (once you have done the expedition!). Use all the same planning documentation that you used for planning the first expedition. All documentation can be found in an "Expedition Planing" folder in the Unit 9 file on the G Drive.

2. Make sure that your P5 and P6 reviews and action plans from the first expedition are completed and handed in.

3. Start the independent planning for 1 day and multi-day expeditions, which will give you access to Merit grades.
