P7 Eshaness Trip

On Tuesday, 25th of May 2021, P7 went on their first John Muir trip. We went to Eshaness and it was so much fun. We met at the pier and we got ready to go on the 8:30am ferry. When we got to the other side then Pete Richardson took a while to get there and he said he was stuck behind concrete! When he finally came then we headed to Eshaness on the mini bus. It took a long time but when we got there he gave us special bags to put our packed lunches in and our water bottles and stuff, he also gave us a helmet to wear when we got to the cliffs. We had to wear our masks on the bus but when we weren’t in the bus then we could take them off. We walked down to the cliffs and saw a raven. Pete said it was good luck to see a raven in  the morning. We finally got to the cliffs and Pete told us to walk in single file line and not go too near the edge. We did all sorts of things and challenges that included going through caves, climbing up steep clefts and looking over the edge of a really high cliff. At one point we were told to go to the other of the cliff but we had to hold onto the wall. We sat down and had our lunch on the edge. The scariest bit was either climbing the cleft or going over a ledge where we couldn’t even see our feet. Pete showed us where a volcano was, but don’t worry, it’s not active. He said that the volcano had erupted years ago and the whole lot of the cliffs and rocks were actually formed by the dry lava from the volcano!
