Adventure Day!

Plans are clearer now for the Adventure Day at Auchengillan... 14 lads have signed up to come along for the adventures!

We will all have the chance to build a campfire, and cook a fish on it without using any utensils, pots or pans...


We will all have a chance to play in the woods, and maybe build a 'bivi' there... and everyone will have a chance to go bungee running...


And everyone will have the chance to either go climbing or abseiling...





A huge thank-you in advance is due to the parents of DW, CG, CH, and AS... they've volunteered to join us for the whole day, which is really useful and will help us provide all these fun activities for you guys!

There are 4 places available on a first-come, first-served basis for anyone who didn't get their forms in on time... email or phone Spud to book one of these places... I will take bookings up to Friday evening. Payment and permission forms must be in by Friday 7th March. Click here to download the permission form.

In addition to the equipment you've been asked to bring / wear, can I suggest the following:

Wear wellies or hiking boots (it's very wet underfoot there)
Bring old trainers (you'll need these for climbing / abseiling)
Bring a torch
