Inchcailloch camp- day 2


At Drymen we picked up the second team of Scouts to camp on Inchcailloch. Unfortunately, rather than ending with a wet and windy walk after which they could go home and get dry...these Scouts had the walk first. But they were all in fantastic spirits and were very happy to get to the top of Conic Hill. 


At the end of the hike, to get dried off a bit, we stopped to have a very well-deserved hot chocolate in Balmaha.


Then it was time for the ferry trip, and the rain stopped so everyone was happy.




We again walked across the island to our beach-side campsite and quickly made ourselves at home. 


The Trangias were fired up again and everyone did a great job cooking their own dinner and had plenty of pasta bolognese.



After dinner the rain held off for lots of beach games, which inevitably ended with a few Scouts getting a little wet.


We went for a walk to the spooky graveyard where absolutely no-one felt Rob Roy's cousin tap us on the shoulder(!) and saw a lot of deer on the island. 

The next morning we packed up all the tents and tramped across the island to get the ferry back. Everyone had a great time and the new tents and trangias were great.
