Rafted Canoeing

On Friday we met up with Mark Ker for more poling practise which was hard work but we are getting somewhere with it now we think! On Saturday we took 'Active Kids' Niamh, Jodie, Emma and Ewan out rafted canoeing on Loch Morlich, it was fun and not too cold. In the afternoon we did the same with a family although the wind had got up a bit more and we could not complete a circuit of the Loch or go up the river but we did watch an Otter for a while which was a real delight for all of us as we have not seen one on the Loch for a couple of years, must keep watching!

Nabeel & Elizabeth

Yesterday we had our last indoor climbing with Nabeel and this time we persuaded his wife Elizabeth to have a go. They both did extremely well and we are hoping that they will be back in the summer for some real climbing!

Bits and pieces

Over the past few couple of days we have had an enjoyable kayak poling session up the Spey from Lochain Uvie, another indoor wall session with Nabeel, some training on the new Low ropes course at Alltnacriche and a pleasant late afternoon of navigation near the Slochd with a friend.

Catch up

On Wednesday we were working with WOW Scotland at Loch Duntelchaig where Ian and I ran the climbing and abseiling. Bushcraft and biking were the other activities and the group had a great time getting through them all! The weather played fair and stayed dry and reasonably mild.

Thursday saw us at the Indoor Wall at Glenmore with Nabeel for his 2nd session this year. We are hoping to persuade his wife Elizabeth to have a go too when we see them again on Sunday.

Coire Cas

Yesterday we were working on basic winter skills with Heather and Paul. We managed to find an excellent patch of snow where we could go through all these skills without the need to go high and get blasted! It did snow quite heavily which made it feel much more wintry and we all had a good day.

Active Kids

On wednesday and thursday we had a few Active Kids joining in with Indoor Climbing, Biking, Team Challenges, Archery and Den Building. Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos! Ian managed to get a few though and as you can see, they were very much involved in all they did!

Too much time in the office

This time is always busy with enquiries and ideas to follow up but we still have time to get out even if only for a few hours. Yesterday, the lighting was too good to miss.
