Craigclowan team arrive in time for a swim in the loch

Swim, kit preparation and an intro walk

Mr Doak and his little squad of adventurers arrived in their spangly new tartan minibus at about two o’clock this afternoon. We packed the big bags into the back of our 4×4 and the pupils walked across the hills and along the shore to the Adventure School.

After a quick tour and rapid unpacking the team donned wetsuits for a swim in Loch A Chadh-Fi, swimming out to and then jumping and diving from the raft moored out on the water. ‘Salmon dives’, an Ardmore special, were the leap of choice.

After the swim, a hot shower, cup of tea and homemade biscuits, the team worked with their instructors Max and Sam to check that all their kit is appropriate for the adventures to come, before then heading to a high point to get a good view of all the places they will explore across the week to come.

The team are on good form and will be going for a run before breakfast tomorrow!!

More news will follow in due course.
