Hermie and friends meet World Challengers from Durham School

'Hermie has had an exciting day' Gill Dobson told me. 'He travelled in The Hermitage school minibus to meet the World Challengers at Durham School. Both schools have joined forces for the Indian Ladakh expedition this summer'.

'We were all invited for lunch which was very exciting as it took place in massive hall. It looked like a scene out of Harry Potter at Hogwarts school!' said Hermie.

'We were joined by representatives from World Challenge and the Bag2school scheme. This is a worthwhile scheme and a unique opportunity to raise funds, assist the environment and create employment both at home and abroad', said Gill.



'You will see from the photographs that I met two new furry friends: Bertie badger and Recce bear who are going across Europe without me. I can’t believe they are leaving me behind!'

(little does Hermie know what plans we have for him hehe!!)

'We all helped to pack the van with funny shaped bags. At one point I was quite worried as I saw some lambs sticking out of one of them.

I think it was an important day today as there were lots of people taking photographs.


I heard someone saying we were going to be in the Northern Echo and the Bag2school website.


Wow we must be special!'
