Classic Exped

The start of the 3 day exped near Kinloch Laggan
 Outward Bound - Loch Eil - Classic Adventure

On Sunday I met up with the MacDonald Clan on the first day of their OB Classic Adventure. On Monday we set off on day 1 of their first multi day expedition. This time it was a 2 night walking expedition. Day 1 was relatively simple, with only minor hills, no rain, and few midges. Yesterday however, the group had to climb a munro in persistent heavy rain and often strong winds. This was the first camping adventure for several of the group, as well as the first munro for most of the group. First languages around the group ranged from Polish to Italian, to Russian, and French! Many in the group wanted to develop their mental toughness, and learn new skills in a supportive friendship environment, in the Scottish Highlands. Testing it definitely was, but by the time they got to camp they were buzzing and new friendships were growing.
