Group 4
Today we went walking, we walked up a hill called Creag
Ghiuthsachan. It is 603 metres
high. To walk up the hill it took about
two hours. We had a break half way up
the hill and a full lunch at the top. On
the way down, we tripped a few times, some of us rolled a bit and once we got
back to the path, we walked to the bridge, got our wetsuits and helmets on so
we could go gorge walking. Once we got
in the water it was really cold but after a minute, it became warmer. In the rapids of the stream/river, we went
sliding down through fast flowing water.
At the end we came out of the water and got a lift in the cleaners
cars. It was wet but fun! Thank you to all the instructors for a great
week. Scott Mc & ConnorGroup 5
Today our group did archery in the morning and in the
afternoon, we did climbing and abseiling.
In archery, we baked a cake corresponding to the colour of the target
e.g. white – sugar, black – chocolate, blue – icing, red – strawberries and
yellow – butter. We also practiced and
got shown how to hold the bow.
After we had our lunch, we went swimming in the river Feshie
and then went climbing and abseiling. We
got there by mini bus that was our final activity day at Lagganlia.
Group 1
Today we
went skiing in the morning. We got to go on the ski lift and learned how to get
up the slope…and then down. People fell over a lot at the start but everyone
got better. It was REALLY hot in the morning, but most of us managed. The slope
is like big toothbrushes. In the afternoon we started off with kayaking, we had
a kayak each this time and went down to the pool/pond near the river. We played
ball catch, we did this for thirty minutes or so and then went for another swim
further along the river. We had fun swimming down the ‘rapids’ and it felt like
you could be swept along the river, but our awesome instructor made sure we
didn’t. We got changed then headed to
the ‘Low Line’, it was like an obstacle course but needed lots of balancing and
concentration skills. Some people were really fast and some people fell, but
they were okay because the ropes and things were low down. We thought it was
hard, wet, soggy, midgiefying, but fun AND needed a lot of balancing, thinking,
swinging and helping each other Oh, and did we mention Mike was excellent? By
Thorfinn and Justine – and the rest of the group.

Today we
went canoeing in Loch Morlich, first we went around the Boyds and then
zig-zagged through them next we went to the shop/hire cabin place and bought
ice creams (I had an orange Callipo-samantha) (I had a double caramel
Magnum-Conrad) after that we went for a swim in the Loch (there was a lot of
pollen from the trees in the Loch and celebrated Taylors birthday. Then we
canoed the whole way back to the place we started at and right after that we
got the boats on the trailer and got back to Lagganlia to type this blog.
