Expedition areas
At Gold level, all participants should aim for their expedition to take place in wild country. If this is not possible then open country is acceptable, agree this in advance with the Licensed Organisation and DofE Regional/Country Office. Most areas of wild country have accessible tracts of level terrain on valley floors, moorlands or plateaus that can be used.
