Grasmere Sports

The Grasmere Sports Podium
I enjoyed running the Grasmere junior guides race today and was really happy to finish 2nd in the under 9's.  Lots of people were enjoying all the different sports and activities.

Ardmair Evenings

Evening sunshine on the boulders at Ardmair
Ardmair beach was only 5 minutes away from where we were staying. It has some good bouldering and the best skimming stones in the world. We enjoyed lots of evenings having skimming competitions.

After watching the Olympics we were doing lots of events and stone skimming was one of the events we decided to have in our own version of the Olympics. Other events included paper aeroplane flying, swimming, table tennis, orienteering and running to the light house.

Holidays in North West Scotland

Rhue

Hi , I've just come back from a brilliant holiday in the NW of Scotland. We stayed just north of Ullapool on the end of the Rhue peninsular. Rhue has a great view out over the Summer Isles. Evenings can be spent watching sunsets out over the sea. It's a great spot for, playing on the beach, doing beach art, photographing the sunset, bouldering, coasteering , fishing and watching the wildlife.
