Scotland 2006
21st-25th August 2006
Words
This was our fourth trip to the ever-popular Arran in as many years. Shore
Lodge was found to have gained two new enormous sofas, admittedly at the
expense of a dining table, all but one of the t-towels, and several
lights.
There was only time for three work days (and no day off!) but we still
packed as much fun in as ever. Tuesday saw us traipsing up Goatfell with
spades, lunch at the top, then back down again attempting to sate
ranger Kenny's insatiable desire to clear out drainage ditches. On
Wednesday we were selectively clearing Western Hemlock and Sitka Spruce
with ranger Kerry. And on Thursday was the old favourite rhoddie bashing
for ranger Corinna; we were also allowed to cut down something
with rubbery leaves, fuchsia, and something like raspberries (anybody
remember the names?).
Food was plentiful and wholesome, or if not completely wholesome
then definitely plentiful. During the evenings there was much playing of
board and card games, a slide show, and a trip to the Ormidale where we
won the pub quiz. Outsiders! We won a free round of drinks.
See you next year.....
