April 14th saw the arrival of a Youth Group from
Wolverhampton. Buses, ferries and trains were the transport of the day. The
group arrived in glorious sunshine and were treated to an entire week of
uninterrupted sun. God obviously does bless Wolverhampton.
A full week of activities saw kayaking, peat digging, and
abseiling. Note, if you’re a first time abseiler, humming the James Bond theme
tune is a great help. As in ABBA’s greatest hits. And last but not least, Raft
building; an activity that saw sheer determination. So what if your raft has
tipped over, and is now upside-down? You shall carry on regardless.
What was
that, sorry? Half your team have abandoned raft and are now swimming to shore?
You shall carry on regardless. The other team have finished? That will not stop
you either. You will complete this race.
A night was spent wild camping on Market Bay, the most
stunning beach I think I have ever seen. On route, many a shoe was pulled off
by the power of the Scottish bogs. Remember folks, to always tie your shoe
laces correctly. Jacket potatoes were cooked on the fire, the stars were gazed
at ... A perfect evening.
In fact, a perfect week. Not an argument was had, not a voice
was raised. A fond farewell and a wish to have you back again. Thank you from
the staff for an amazing week.
