Hello Everyone
As you will already know we set of at 8:45 am, and got there at 11:50am. The atmosphere on the bus as we were coming up the hill towards the house was incredible and we were all so excited! When we got off the bus we were all taken into the music room and Alan, one of the centre leaders introduced himself and everyone else in the team at Alltnacriche. Then we were taken into the main building and we were shown around the place. We were taken to our our rooms, which are lovely and we all had to make up our beds. We had our packed lunches and then met in the courtyard and went on a hike up a very high hill called Craigellachie. The view was gobsmacking as we sat stunned in silence. The walk was part of the John Muir Award which encourages people to discover, explore, conserve and talk about wild places. After that we came back we went on a scavenger hunt and lots of us got our trousers wet as we attempted to cross the burn! We came in and had tomato soup for starters, baked potatoes for a main course and ice cream and jelly for desert. It was lovely!
We have all been put into activity groups and tomorrow we will be doing various different things. They include wacky wildlife, survival skills, biking expedition and water sports. We are so looking forward to all that! We are finding it a wee bit tricky to add photos to our blog but we will keep trying and hope to have some to let you see tomorrow.
Glad you have all arrived safely! Sounds like you’ve had an action packed first day! Can’t wait to hear all about today’s activities.
Great to know they have settled in – thanks so much for the update 🙂
