I did Bronze and Silver DofE and started doing Gold. We did an ""exploration"" or whatever it's called, rather than an ""expedition"". It involves doing less walking - still camping - but visiting places and doing a project rather than doing heroic trekking cross-country. Ask your DofE supervisor about doing this rather than the full expedition - DofE is meant to be fully accessible and inclusive, so they should take into account your asthma and the restrictions it can put on you.

I cannot believe you are even thinking about hiking 4 days on dartmoor!
