Fun on the Loch

This morning we had a drizzly, midgy Archery session with a group from Moor House before getting on the water in the afternoon when the weather improved a little. They were great! They listened to what we wanted them to do and got on with it. Hope to see them again soon.

More good times!

On Sunday BT Al, Ian, Rachel and me went paddling from Loch Insh to Aviemore with the aim of encouraging Rachel to take the back seat when Tandem. She was brilliant and quick to understand the basics of how the river works and how to get where we want to go with the least amount of effort. It was a lovely day weatherwise too!

Monday saw us on the Aonach Eagach with James and Marion, who wanted to do it without the use of ropes but we had this on hand just in case. The rock was dry and the weather almost too hot so we all had a great day. They loved the climbing on the Pinnacles! We were all sorry to leave the ridge as the views were stunning.

Rock climbing at Kingussie

Today we had a few 'Active Kids' climbing and abseiling at Kingussie. It rained of course but did not stop play and the children were challenged with height and the abseil but all did really well and are wanting to come back for more.

Canoeing

It had to rain again yesterday for the canoeing although only in the afternoon! Got away with it with the Young Carers but Ian was not so lucky with the family he was with.

Rain did not stop play!

Young carers were fantastic at Team Challenges and Archery today! They were so good at working together and even managed to put up with cold rain in the morning. Rafted canoeing tomorrow!

Avoiding a wet day

Met a group of Young Carers at Glenmore Lodge instead of Kingussie for some Climbing and Abseiling yesterday. Spent most of the day there and some were still up for more! They are a quiet group who are very keen to learn and we are looking forward to doing some Team Challenges and Archery with them today.

Another wet day

Today we had another lovely group out for some fun Rafted Canoeing and Abseiling. We had a few showers whilst canoeing but it was really pleasant and we saw the 2 adult and 2 young Ospreys on their nest. The heavens opened just after we had loaded all the kit and were having lunch. We then set off for Farrletter and the Abseiling. It is quite sheltered here and we thought we would get away with it but the rain came down heavily and eventually stopped play. Our washing machine is working overtime these days!
