Today our
team climbed Meall a’ Bhuachaille in the Glenmore forest park it felt like my
thighs were on fire. When we got to the top we had our packed lunch and hot
chocolate. After our lunch we went down a steep hill. On our way back we passed
Loch Morlich. We walked eight miles in four hours ad ten minutes. It was hard
but the view was beautiful.
Tuesday Night.-group 3-Danny, Kate and Ewan
On Tuesday night we did orienteering, the weather was dismal.
But that did not stop the midges. A lot of teams got lost on number nineteen;
it got a lot of us lost. We teamed up with other Orkney schools.

Morning
Our day started with getting equipped to go absailing. We went to a forest with a random cliff in
the middle. Rafa got the gear set up, Erica went first and made good speed.
Soon after Ewan was good until – he crashed landed. Yet Danny and Kate wasn’t
keen – but Danny had the power and made it alive. On the other hand Kate got
tricked and ended up doing something she did not want to do. Over all absailing
was great with the help and encouragement all of our friends, but most of all
Rafa.
Afternoon
In the afternoon we went canoeing! , it was so much fun and
we need to say a very big well done to Kate who tripped on the ledge of the
canoe and fell in! We worked on paddle skills. After we went swimming we played
catch. We round up the canoeing as fun, though sore.
Wednesday-group 1
We went canoeing and we did archery. In archery we had
competitions. We did boys vs. girls, the boys won the first one by six points
and Charlotte won overall on the second one the girls won by 48 points and
Megan won overall. We also did tree climbing which was a big tree that had wood
blocks on it, it was very hard but almost everyone made it to the top. Megan
went first (very brave of her). If you get to the top you get to ring the bell
and in between the archery and tree climbing we sat and Mike (our very awesome
instructor) gave us sweeties and biscuit.
Then we got stuff for canoeing and got on the bus to loch Insh
where we canoed & played some games. Justine & Thorfinn were the first
to capsize. In the first game Mike threw some tennis balls and we had to sail
towards them and take them into our boats and count how many we had. After that
we had a swim and went back to the centre we had tea and went for our night
activity which was night line it was an
activity that we were all blind folded and went around a course following a
piece of rope!

Note from Mrs. Coltherd – we saw ospreys circling their nest.
Hello!
Today my group went on A LONG cycle around Glenfeshie.
It got a bit tiring going uphill and over bumps, roots of trees and stones. We
also did tree climbing it was a MASSIVE tree!
I (Erin C) only got half way and chickened out. Some
people got all the way up! What! Also, Erin C dropped and kept falling for 213
seconds.
And thats around our day it was AMAZING BYE!

Wednesday-group 4
This morning me and my group went canoeing, it was very
hard at the start but me and my group got the grip of it eventually. Jude our
instructor showed us how to turn around in a 360 degrees turn again we got it
eventually) Jude threw some plastic balls into the water to see which boat got
the most of them. Then we went to an island in the river, lit a fire and made
hot chocolate. At the end of the lesson we got to capsize the canoe and go for
a good old swim. By Josie 7E
After lunch we took a minibus to a forest with a big
cliff in it to go ABSAILING.First we had to walk up the path with our harnesses
and helmets on, we set our bags down and when it was our turn we got the ropes
hooked on to us. When we went down we had to lean back so we were sideways. I
flipped upside down when I was half way down the cliff on my second go but I
managed to get the right way again. On the way back through the forest we
picked some leaves called wild sorrel and they tasted like apples. By Eylee
P.S the wild sorrel was edible.
