Well done everyone on completing this tough hike (31km) and for making the camp out such a pleasant place to be.


If anyone is interested in some more day hikes drop into the TYC office and let me know.


We'll see about making them a more common occurrence...although maybe the next one could be a little shorter.

Time Requirements

With exception to the Adventure Journey, each challenge area requires a minimum participation of 1 hour per week for 13 weeks. The Adventure Journey takes place over a

minimum of 2 days and 1 night.


Additional Weeks

An additional 13 weeks must be completed in one challenge area of your choice. This could be an activity you really enjoyed, or an activity in which you feel you still have room for improvement. As a result, it will take at least 26 weeks to complete your Bronze Award, however everyone is free to complete the award at their own pace.
