Day 1- We have arrived


                    Day 1
                    Monday 18th November

                                         Not being camera shy. At all.

                                          Black out goggles on. Ready to go.

                                          That'll be a tree. I found it with my nose.

                           Ava 'disappointed' to find a tyre full of water, while blindfolded.

                                        A fishing net catches a large amount of P7 pupils.



After a chilly drive up and an amazing break at Pitlochry we arrived at Lagganlia at 1.20pm. We had a quick tour of the site, had lunch then met our group leaders. We made our beds (with hardly any help.......) and then unpacked. Some rooms are definitely tidier than others. Dinner at 5.30pm went well, we completed camp diaries at 6.30pm then took part in the nightline. This saw us all navigate our way round a line in the pitch black while describing obstacles that were in front of us. Justina was surprised at the number of tall wooden obstacles that were part of the course, realising half way through that they were in fact trees.

Friends help each other out in making a bed.

                                                   Girls not noticing the camera at all.

                          Tea time rules and procedures explained by Jamie, our evening leader.

10pm. Everyone is in their beds. Jury out deciding if they will stay there. It is very frosty outside.

    Looks like their all getting of to a great start. Who would've thought their would've been loads of tall wooden things in a forest (poor Justina lol).
    Well done Kian, I'm 40 and still struggle to wrestle a quilt cover into submission lol.
    The girls not noticing a camera yeah right !! lol you could have an invisible camera and they'd still notice it and strike a pose lol.
    Hope the next few days are just as much fun (or even more fun) as today has been.

Day 3 The frost is gone

Day 3 Wednesday 20th November The last to go to sleep last night was Kerys in the girl's dorm and Chris in the boy's dorm. The first ones to fall asleep were Adam, Kian, Aaron and Aaron. Hayden and Calum were the first awake this morning, chatting just before Mr Napier woke  everyone up at 7.30am. Today is going to be a lot warmer as it rained lightly over night which saw temperatures increase over night. Mrs Gillies arrived safely and Mrs Gilbertson got home safely. Groups have been mountain biking this morning, skiing, gorge walking and hill-walking/walking in snow shoes. Miss Gaunt has been gorge walking and got quite wet with her group (Aaron M, Sean, Amy, Emily, Skye, Freya, Mazin and Omar.) The river was quite full but also a little chilly. Mrs Simpson was out with Aaron S, Tyler, Kikilee, Sam, Xinyi, Ava. Sophia, Lazaro, Aydin and Hayden. After one or two small tumbles at the start they were soon racing through the forest on the dirt tracks. Mrs Gillies is out...

Day 4- After the wind......

Day 4 Thursday 21st November Last night was really windy that rocked the valley where we are. The noise woke up one or two of our happy campers but they did manage to get back to sleep. Breakfast this morning was toast, cereal and bacon rolls. The first dorm got a 10 out of 10 for their inspection this morning so the girls in the dorm were delighted. Mr Napier was taking part in archery. Bradley was amazing at it and won the game we played once we had refined our skills. Justina started off strong but struggled to score highly towards the end. Laurie kept on getting a good grouping (how close all your arrows were to the others.) Logan was also very confident and hitting the centre fairly frequently. Ellya was also very strong at archery. Lucy and Kerys wearing matching jackets required for putting up targets.  Adam finding his confidence when firing arrows.  Bradley loving his archery this morning.  Ellya loving the archery this morning....
