Blogging
I hope you're enjoying our blog. We're currently sitting outside the dorms as the kids settle down for the night. I'm blogging, Ms Craig is downloading all the hundreds of photos from today and Mrs Ruddy is using her kindle fire to check out the blog!
Hunt the Teacher
Following last years selfie up a tree, here's another and also Ms Craig's view at the Japanese Ornamental Garden.
Starving! We earned our lunch today!
Group One have spent the morning crashing around on mountain bikes. SUCH fun; muddy puddles and bumpy roads :) Expedito managed an impressive tumble (and zero injury) while he got used to the brakes! We also had some awesome races round a circuit in the forest.
Group Two tackled the gorge. The keyhole was a tough challenge but sliding down the chute was a little easier!
Clean and dry gear is running low but it's absolutely worth it.
Good Morning (Wednesday)
Good morning campers! A few sleepy smiles but plenty noise as we get up for Day Three. It's slightly greyer out today with fresh winds but we're all ready to go, just as soon as we've had our sausages and beans for breakfast :)
And a wee look outside the front door.

And girls

Day Two
It's bedtime again following a great day of adventures.
Tonight we joined the pupils from Stockbridge Primary and Hermitage Park for a scavenger hunt around the grounds. The pupils mixed brilliantly, working together and having plenty of fun.
I think there are a few tired faces headed for bed, although I can still hear plenty giggles coming from all the dorms!
Tea and cake time
That's us all back from a beautiful afternoon on the loch. Glorious sunshine and no wind meant fabulous conditions for paddling in our kayaks (my favourite!)
Some delicious banana cake just now to see is through the free time until dinner at 6:15.
So far, I've been hanging out with Group One. Shona, Caitlyn, Naveed, Alex, Expedito, Kyle, David and Jacob, not forgetting our instructor Scrutts!
Ms Craig and Mrs Ruddy have been with Group Two. Charlie, Jasmine, Mehmet, Connor, Matthew, Kieran, Zafar, Alexander and Zak with their instructor Mhairi.
Group One on the loch
Group Two playing kayak games, JUST before Ms Craig took an unexpected swim!
Hungry campers.
Lunchtime day two and we're all starving! I've been up the gorge with the adventurous Group One and we're all soaked!
Group Two found a beautiful beach and explored the rocks with a sneaky hot chocolate on the way!
This afternoon all of us are headed back to Loch Eck for canoeing and kayaking. I think the likelihood of another soaking is fairly high!
Here a a couple of pics of Group Two at the beach. It was too wet up the gorge for an iPhone!
Good morning
A great night with a few early risers!
In the common room
On the ferry crossing
Team Leith in the loch!
Team One enjoying the sunshine. 
Team Two on a tadpole hunt!
The rooms have been cleaned to a very high standard, the lowest score being the girls dorm at 7/10!
We're about to meet to hear our plan for the day.
Here are a few pics from the camera from yesterday, including the team shot of us all swimming!

Good night
The swimming was fantastic and we couldn't be more proud of our Leithers. ALL kids were super and (literally) threw themselves into it.
They're now all in bed if not quite settled just yet!
More adventures ahead tomorrow.
Day One
We've had a very successful afternoon since arriving. There was even some sunshine as we explored the centre with our groups.
A tasty dinner and our activity tonight is swimming, in the loch! Wish us luck!
