A TEAM of tenacious teenagers from North Solihull have tackled the rugged terrain of the Peak District to clinch their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award.
The five students - Jack Rigby, Jack Cope, Marcell Morris, Ben Hales, and Ryan Brown - completed a two-day expedition in the national park to round off a challenging programme of activities.
The group, all aged 14-16, had completed the Award as part of Evolution, a development programme run by Solihull Council to support those students who are in and out of mainstream school.
Other tasks have included 13 weeks' volunteering at the Shard End Friends Day Centre and the Welcome charity shop, in Lea Village.
Ryan Brown said: "The expedition was very exhausting, it took a lot of hard work and determination to get through but it’s all worth it when you see the staff and your friends waiting at the end to congratulate you."
