Another epic year from our Glasgow P7s. They've smashed their residential's with us and we wish them all the best for the future. Good luck at high school and keep your eyes peeled for more visits to Blairvadach. 👍🌳🏞️

Day 4 #MerryleeBV26 @merryleeps.bsky.social @blairvadachoec.bsky.social The heavens opened but that didn't dampen our spirits. Full effort by everyone on the last day, doing some responsible fire lighting and map reading. Hiding under the parachute. Video over on Instagram today

Day 3 #MerryleeBV26 @merryleeps.bsky.social @blairvadachoec.bsky.social A morning of climbing the various Blairvadach obstacles. Wall, pole and tree. Followed by a first for me, we climbed higher than I've ever been in the gorge. Pics over on x/twitter

Day 2 #MerryleeBV26 @merryleeps.bsky.social @blairvadachoec.bsky.social We continued our intro into sailing this morning but the wind was proving very testing so we bailed to the bikes park in the afternoon for an awesome session.

Day 1 #MerryleeBV26 @merryleeps.bsky.social @blairvadachoec.bsky.social Straight onto the water to do some basic steering while the wind was light. The plan is to get the sails up at some point tomorrow as we continue our journey.

Thank you very much @blairvadachoec.bsky.social for having us this week. You taught our children so much, mainly about themselves and how capable and wonderful they are. We can’t thank you all enough. It is a very special place with dedicated, amazing instructors. Enjoy the well earned break!

Day 3 - #StBartholomewsBV26 @stbarts1.bsky.social @blairvadachoec.bsky.social Climbing everything. We started indoors to get used to the equipment before flying up the tree. I then witnessed the fastest group of 6 ever to climb the pole, less than ten mins 🤟 Then, splash and dash up McAulays.

Day 2 - #StBartholomewsBV26 @stbarts1.bsky.social @blairvadachoec.bsky.social The cave rave extreme version! This team is incredible! We had to change the route slightly after meeting another group, so we chose the hardest gaps possible. I was very impressed by everyone in this team.

Day 4 (but my first day) #RiversideBV26 @blairvadachoec.bsky.social @riversidegovan.bsky.social A lovely day with some enthusiastic young people. I stepped in to help while Mike was on a mountain rescue call out. Today we made responsible fires in the morning followed by climbing after lunch.

Day 3 #StMichaelsBV25 @stmichaelsgcc.bsky.social @blairvadachoec.bsky.social The weather didn't dampen our efforts today, instead we hid in Succoth caves. Popping from cave to cave avoiding the constant rainfall. The group pushed and squeezed through their comfort zones and the caves.

Day 1 #StMichaelsBV25 @stmichaelsgcc.bsky.social @blairvadachoec.bsky.social Straight in at the deep end. We took advantage of the least windy day this week to get on to the Gareloch. These young people picked up the skills required to canoe very quickly. I was impressed. Keep it up team.
