Sailing up the West Coast

It's been a blustery weekend, but that has not stopped us getting nearly 500 miles covered.
Friday morning saw us leave Loch Lomond and head towards the foothills of Ben Nevis. First point of call was the Gruffalo Trail and then on to Ben Nevis. The trek to the summit of Ben Nevis is an arduous one, but happily the clouds parted and we got a stunning view at the top. Friday afternoon saw us descend from Britain's highest point and then travel to Loch Ness. A delightful evening was spent on the banks of the Loch, keeping an eye out for Nessie.
Our circuit completed, we returned to Inverness for the night.

Sunday evening; and it never seems to get dark at this time of the year along the northern coast, saw us reach our intended destination of John O' Groats.
We have just over 1300 miles left of our challenge and hope to get back to Wimborne sometime next Monday. Over the weekend, pupils of all year groups, their families and also the staff have all been involved, with every method movement from kayaking to pogo being used. Let's keep it up over the coming days.
