Explorer Belt 2010 – Summer of 2010 in Belgium

24 years and 265 kilometres on are two very large figures in both time and distance. But that is what James Doyle of Friday Night Scouts and Venture Unit achieved in gaining his Explorer Belt last week.

Its 24 years since the last explorer belt was achieved in the group by Edward O’Donnell and Johnny Leonard. No problem to James who hiked over 265 kilometres and came out the other end with his award.

The expedition crossed three countries Netherlands , Belgium and finished in Wiltz, Luxembourg. James trekked through the country side, visiting villages along the way and keeping a log his journey and experiences. In addition he had to attend to projects and live on a limited budget.
