Day 2 - Shiny sun and sticky toffee pudding (how good is it to get both of them in one day!)

Day two didn't look as if it was going to be much fun.  As the groups ate breakfast in the Main Building, Caerketton Lodge or Sgorans Lodge, they looked out on dark skies and intermittent rain.  Did this dismay the teams? No!  At Lagganlia there is never bad weather, just the wrong clothes and each group set off on their adventures for the day. 

Group 1 went gorge walking with Mrs Christie in the morning and then up the climbing
tree with Mr Howie.  Group 2 started off on the ski slope next to the centre and then went on the archery course with Ms Gallagher.  Group 3 went on a climb in the morning and then abseiling in the afternoon.  Mr Wallace enjoyed their company for the whole day.  Group 4 also went gorge walking (actually, if my computer spell check accidentally changes 'gorge' to 'george' and I don't notice it, please rest assured that no Georges were hurt in the making of this blog).  They worked with Ms Gallagher in the morning and went mountain biking in the afternoon with Mrs Christie.  Group 5 went on an all day hillwalk, as did group 6.  Mrs Jones accompanied group 6 for the day.  Mr Howie was with group 7 for archery in the morning and they enjoyed the company of Miss Phillips for  canoeing in the afternoon.  Last, but by no means least, group 8 went in the gorge in the morning and went snowboarding in the afternoon.

Each group worked hard and by around 10 o'clock the grey clouds gave way to sunshine and, with the exception of a little rain shower in the afternoon, the conditions remained good for the rest of the day.

Dinner at night consisted of battered haddock, or macaroni cheese, with potato croquettes and peas.  Most of the group managed to polish off some sticky toffee pudding - what heroes!
