We have been immersed in our studies for quite some time, working our slow and sure way through a National Five in Environmental Science. We sure picked a tricky year to commence formal studies as schools have had to change the way they worked and we had a long pause in meeting up. But finally … More The Long and Winding Road
It’s been a long time since we could gather in more than two at a time. We found it so refreshingly great to not start Monday with an intensive three hour Zoom call with a last minute dash to briefly meet up and disperse again with just one of more person. Not this Monday, this … More So We are Back

We had our camp in Argyll just a few weeks ago, and it was magnificent. The freedom and beauty were enough to set off the rather windy and wet weather which caused at least two tent collapses – luckily this happened on packing up day. We would have had to call for reinforcements if there … More Getting Back into the Swing of Things
We had a fantastic Saturday a week or so ago, which meant that many people from School could join us. We always have a great time with old and new friends. The days task involved locating a waterfall for some necessary supplies. On the way, we encountered challenges and spotted the changing seasons. We also … More Kicking off another week
We have been discovering what changes and what stays the same in these times and finding out first hand what works better in person even with us keeping our distance.
