Kilbowie – Monday 9th March (cont.)

It’s almost time for bed.  Since our last post we have had dinner and played an A-Z Scavenger Hunt.  Two of our teams managed to find an item for every letter of the alphabet.  Below are some photos of us having fun, one of the big waves one of our star bed maker!

Next we’re going to have supper and then we’re off to bed.  We’ll post more tomorrow.  Night night.

Kilbowie – Monday 9th March

We have arrived!

So far we have made our beds (some more successfully that others!!), collected our kit and some of us have met our instructors (the rest of us will meet our instructors tomorrow).  We have also taken part in our first activity.

Some of us have already been soaked to the skin when we walked into the sea and we have all braved the wild winds which are currently blowing round the centre.

At the moment we have some free time before we head for dinner.  We’ll update you (hopefully with some photos) again later.

Kilbowie

After a very exciting morning, we left Bellshill for the long bus journey to Kilbowie Outdoor Centre. The bus journey felt very long and in some places the road was very bendy, but thankfully no one was sick. The bus driver said we deserved an award, as that doesn’t happen very often. We stopped for a comfort break at the Green Wellie and also ate our snacks.

Fun on the Bus!

Before long we arrived at Kilbowie. We had a lovely lunch then had to take our cases to our rooms. We had to be really quick as our instructors were waiting to take us out on our first activity. We all went off in our activity groups and had a really great time. Some of us were kayaking and others walking around the coast, most of us got very wet. The boys were very shocked at how cold the sea was.

Enjoying a snack at the Green Wellie

After dinner, we bought lots of sweeties at the tuck shop and had some free time. Some of the boys played a game of football while everyone else chilled out in the lounge or games room.

What a stunning view!

Evening activities were “The Airport Game” and “Picture Orienteering”. They were lots of fun. The teachers were very glad that they involved lots of running around so that we would be tired and go to sleep on time.

After birthday cake for supper we went up to our rooms. We had time to chat for a while before lights out at 10.30pm.

Who knows what adventures are in store tomorrow!!!!
