A very soggy day today with groups 6&7 but that certainly didn’t dampen any spirits! Both groups paddled out to Kerrera Island and took on the role of Bear Grylls.  We searched through rock pools for crabs and sea life, then loaded our pockets with weird and wonderful things from the beach. We ended the day by throwing ourselves into the sea, I don’t think we’ll be feeling our toes for
