Arran
On Saturday 30th October at 9:30, me, 19 other children, Mr Stout and Mrs Lamberth started a 7 hour journey to the Isle of Arran in Scotland. Three quarters of the way there, we stopped at Gretna Green for an hour to spend some of our money and stretch our legs. Finally, we reached the ferry after a 6-7 hour drive. The ferry took another hour to get to the island but it was a lot more fun than sitting in a van! We wandered round the ship and took some pictures. We reached the island and drove from Brodick to Loch Ranza. When we reached loch Ranza we unloaded all of our luggage and saw our rooms for the first time. We had dinner at 6:00 and when it got dark we went for a night walk we saw a seal and all of the tall mountains surrounding us. When we got back, we could rest in the common room for a while but we had to be in bed at 10:00 and lights out at 10:15. For the next five days we had breakfast at 8:00 (it was very nice) we had packed lunches and dinner at 6:00. We did many activities including; gorge walking, abseiling, seashore and river studies, climbing Goat Fell and going for walks. My favourite activity was gorge walking because it was very exciting but very cold. The weather was cold and often wet but we had plenty of warm jumpers and waterproofs so it didn’t stop us! On the day we were leaving, we had breakfast at 7:00 and left at 7:30. We arrived back in Gosforth tired but having had a great opportunity to enjoy one of Scotland’s most beautiful islands.
