four day hike<\/a> on the Larapinta Trail. The most rewarding thing I have ever done. Right from the get go, the scorching sun pounded on us, making our water almost boil from the heat! Only kidding, but it was very hot!<\/p>\nThe days were hard I must admit. With steep climbs and battling against the heat, the Larapinta did not take it easy on us. However, Connor and Tyson helped us all fight through the pain with their riddles. Actually it didn\u2019t really help me, it just made me annoyed because I could never figure out the answer, but it still took my mind off the pain a bit. We always finished the day off with a campfire and a yarn, to look back on our challenging yet rewarding days, and to be proud of what we had achieved.<\/p>\n
Duke of Edinburgh Award Experience –> Enduring benefit<\/h3>\n
Now two years on, I can look back and think how lucky I was to be a part of such a journey. I can confidently say that the Gold Duke of Ed hike in Northern Territory was the best moment of my life, and an adventure I feel everyone should be able to experience even just once.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":17843,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[142],"tags":[143],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackdiamondadventures.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17842"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackdiamondadventures.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackdiamondadventures.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackdiamondadventures.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackdiamondadventures.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17842"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/blackdiamondadventures.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17842\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17859,"href":"https:\/\/blackdiamondadventures.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17842\/revisions\/17859"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackdiamondadventures.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17843"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackdiamondadventures.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackdiamondadventures.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17842"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackdiamondadventures.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
