Day 3 (con’t)
I spoke too soon!!!! The weather this morning turned windy and wet but it didn’t stop the fun! The activities today were orienteering, Safari and hillwalking and what a hill it was! Rhys says it was enormous and it was so windy on the top, he felt as if he could fly! Ruairidh also said it was amazing because on top of the huge mountain they all got to hug a rock called Eric! -simple pleasures eh?
Safari according to Fraser and Harry was AWESOME! They got the closest to seagulls that they have ever been. Derek, the instructor (who the children said was hilarious), called about 30 birds down to the football field and fed them. He held out a plastic bag full of crisps and a seagull grabbed it with his beak and pulled it away, spilling all the crisps. It was so funny and very informative too.
The orienteering was a laugh, especially when some groups couldn’t find the markers and they were almost standing on them! The instructor said he would come back in the morning to collect them they were taking so long……
Tonight we are doing the famous ‘night line’ .We are just going off to get ready….
I’ve chosen a few snaps to post tonight I hope they load before tomorrow….
Day 2 (continued)
Yea. a few more photos from yesterday which didn’t load.
Day 2
Wow what a busy day today! The weather was great all day. Although it was cold in the morning, the sun shone all afternoon which meant that all our groups could get on the water (and in it! )
We had some skiing on the dry ski slopes, abseiling and rock climbing and of course canoeing! Yea! All the children were terrific and tried their very best. They have really enjoyed today. At the moment they are all outside doing an ‘aeroplane activity’ with Mrs Russell and Mrs Bodin (and all the other children and staff) to let me update you on what is happening. I have included a few photographs . (I hope)
I think the forecast for tomorrow isn’t as good but it won’t stop us from having a great time 🙂
Will try to add some more photos when I can.It is taking ages to download images 🙁
Kilbowie ~ First Day
We arrived safely this afternoon. We had a lovely lunch and dinner and yes, we all managed to make our beds, unpack and tidy our rooms!
The children are all taking part in an activity just now but it is indoors as it is a wee bit too windy to go outside.
Will keep you up to date tomorrow!
