S2 had their first John Muir trip of the year today.<\/p>\n

We were picked up at Laxo with no clue as to where we were headed! We set off North and it soon became apparent that we were heading to Ronas Hill.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kitted out in full waterproofs, we traversed the arctic tundra terrain, working together to clamber towards the summit! The sky was heavy with rain but this didn\u2019t dampen our spirits, with many embracing the wet surroundings on the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

We stopped off at the highest loch in Shetland to refuel with lunch before carrying on to the highest peak at 450 metres above sea level! We found the trig point and learned how they came to exist and how to use them. We also explored the burial chamber nearby.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then it was time to hike back down to the starting point, which proved tricky to navigate in the mist. We took advantage of a freshwater stream on the way to have a much needed refreshment!<\/span><\/p>\n

John Muir leaders John and Grant were most impressed with the resilience of everyone and how they coped with the weather conditions!<\/span><\/p>\n

Well done S2! \ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\ude04\u2614\ufe0f<\/span><\/p>\n
