GIRLS Period+DofE

Help!
I've got my DofE expedition tomorrow and i've just started my period.
I don't use tampons but i'm also a heavy flow girl so i change regularly
I'm not allowed to go into shops bc i'd get disqualified but can i go in pubs?
i'm not doing it in a bus

Ask the adults running the trip

Pubs are normally ok but check with whoever’s running it. I have my silver dofe on Thursday and ik lots of girls who got their periods on the practice walk so I would say try not to stress too much (ik easier said than done) and pubs are normally allowed.
