“We started the 2nd day of the expedition at the river where we were able to get fresh water to drink and dip in. From there we walked up the hill where we had to take plenty of breaks as it was very steep. After overcoming the steep mountain we were able to have a cooked lunch break by the bothy. After lunch we walked through the valley which was less steep, so easier to walk for longer. After the valley it was woods which was mostly down hill. The wind was lovely as it was very hot so it cooled us down. When we made it to the camp site some people went for a swim in the river other went exploring through the river along the trees. Here we had access to toilets and taps which help while cooking. After dinner a camp fire was started where we played cards,Alastair won the first game against the students however student won the second game making the instructors admit defeat.After that it was getting ready for bed with a bed time of 11pm. “- Muntaha/Kaela
