Back on the road

Ferry time

We'll update you on our journey home. Just about to board the ferry and looking forward to getting out in the sunshine.

Goodbye Benmore!

We're on our way home, both sad to leave but excited to see family again. See you soon !

Group 1 and 2 spent our last morning kayaking on the Loch Eck. It was a beautiful day and the kids were amazing! Cruising about with soggy bums and playing lots of fun games :) after all our hard work we were rewarded with a bracing dip in the cold water!

Group 3 took on the high ropes and faced some fears. They supported and encouraged each other to do their best give themselves a real challenge. They are all very proud of their achievements.

Morning!

Yikes. Stripping beds and packing! There is a LOT of stuff lying about!

More packing after breakfast I think!

Here's your little lovelies saying hello.

D.I.S.C.OOOOOOOOOO

Thursday afternoon.

Group 1 faced the huuuuge challenge of the gorge. Lots of grit and determination.

Group 2 took on the high ropes and won. Their team building improved significantly over the afternoon.

Group 3 loved their adventure on the loch and overcame some big fears.

Afternoon antics!

Group 1: gorge time! Woop woop!

Group 2: high ropes. Be brave!

Group 3: kayaking on Loch Eck. It should be a beautiful afternoon.

Thank you!

Thank you all for your support and all the views over the last couple of days. Here's a super cute video of group 2 playing dominoes while waiting to get on the mini-bus.

We found a stone on the beach that said 'Be the rainbow in someone's cloudy day.' Here are some of your rainbows.

A Sunny Thursday

Group 1 did so well with the high ropes and set some good records for the rest of us to try and beat

Meanwhile, group 3 took on the gorge walk! They had a slide down a waterfall, resulting in very soggy trousers! Weeeeeee!!!

Group 2 were scrambling around on the beach and playing around in the sea. Yesterday's groups did such a good job, there was hardly any litter left for us to pick up!
