Canoe & Archery

We have just had two lovely days doing Rafted Canoeing and Archery with a family of 18 with a wide age range! It was a lot of fun for everyone and a great way of getting families together doing something different.

Loch Ordie & Oisinneach lochs

Another good day biking. We have visited Loch Ordie before but never gone on to the Oisinneach lochs. T

he tracks and paths were brilliant ranging from good landrover track to single track with everything in between. Good feeling of remoteness especially as we only saw one other person until back at Loch Ordie.

Loch Pattack

Day off so went biking! Out to Loch Pattack and back to Loch Laggan, very pleasant trip, good tracks. Past couple of weeks have been busy with weaselling, abseiling, canoeing and archery for a variety of groups.

Canoeing

I had a very pleasant day on Saturday with two ladies who wanted to climb Ben Nevis and at a leisurely pace, whilst Ian had 2 groups of 3 peakers! On Sunday we had a couple of families for Indoor Climbing and Canoeing on Loch Morlich. Then this week we are working with Reach4reality and 3 different young people every day doing canoeing, archery and biking.

Wild goats

Another couple of Ben Nevis trips last week and we also had a bimble up our local hill ie Creag Dubh. A herd of wild goats live on this hill and they are quite inquisitive. It is possible to get quite close before they saunter off. Yesterday we went for one of our favourite bike rides which is around Lochan earba to Ardverikie House and back along Loch Laggan (Monarch of the Glen country), always a pleasant trip, more so because of the glorious weather!

Ben Nevis

Had lots of trips to the Ben already this year mainly for Maximum Adventure. Yesterday must have been about the busiest day so far and the weather was superb.

English Tower

Every year about this time, Stuart Baird brings a group of Spanish students to the area for some activities and to continue with their English studies. We have so far done Archery, Indoor Climbing and Canoeing with them, it will be rock climbing next week. We also had a lovely group of children for Indoor Climbing and Rafted Canoeing. They were so quiet that we were able to get quite close to a variety of ducks with their ducklings of all ages who were not at all bothered by us. Yesterday was another trip to Ben Nevis this time for Highpoint Mountain guides, interesting people and good weather too!
