ADVENTUROUS JOURNEY DETAILS: Bronze Practice Hike: 2 days / 1 nightThe Bronze Duke of Edinburgh journey teaches a beginner level knowledge of camp craft, navigation and bush safety. The goal by the end is that the practice students should feel comfortable and be able to complete their qualifying journey independently of supervising leaders. The YouthAdvance Bronze Practice AJ takes participants along a section of the Great North Walk where they will experience dramatic sandstone cliffs and a variety of natural habitats. The GNW has alot of history and undulates through bushland areas that are right on the city’s back doorstep. With some challenging sections, steep gorges and stunning views, this program will leave students wanting to see more of this fantastic walk. |
MEALS: Participants will need to bring ALL meals and snacks for the duration of the two day, one night AJ. Day 1 | Lunch and Dinner

YouthAdvance provides an option for participants to hire a backpack, tent or stove (with gas bottle, pots & pans). Should you wish you hire equipment, log into your YA Portal account on our website and head to the resources section. If you’re having difficulty, email [email protected]. Please note that this MUST be done a minimum of five days prior to the AJ departure date. All hire equipment will be available for collection upon arrival at the program venue. Please note that the above list of equipment is mandatory. As such, should a participant attend program without the required equipment that is in good condition and suitable for use, for safety reasons that participant will be sent home and will forfeit their fee.
