Group One Shore Walk

Instructors Euan and Ewen took intrepid Group One and Mrs Mackay on an exciting shore walk adventure - an activity we haven't done at Sciennes for at least ten years. A strong and 'give it a go' group, they were even game for a dip in the sea at the end, quickly followed by a warming hot chocolate before heading back to the centre, soggy but glowing with their own achievements.
