An Overnight Island Adventure with GFG!

On the ferry......great excitement!


Tuesday night group GFG have just returned from an overnight island adventure on the tantalisingly close and yet wonderfully distant island of Kerrera.
Isn't it amazing just how much you can cram into just over 24 hours. During their island time, GFG'ers went on a mega 6 mile walk, taking in a welcome Bothy tea room refreshment stop and the rugged Gylen Castle. With loads of time for loads of games and challenges, the group crammed in twister, wooosh, snap, dominoes, charades, spoons, donkey, sleeping pong-gweens and so much more. After Saturday evening tea time, it was out and about again for the ever-popular 'Wavo' ! Ahhhh, so much fresh air!
Back to our dwelling, the old school house and there was time to ponder the day that had been, and over a hot chocolate, reflect on the importance of each individual (from OHS assembly chat previously that week) but crucially how that individuality was so important to the lives of others and that each has their part to play in the group, family, team, community or friendship.

Games time at the Old School
 Day 2, and it was time for a treasure hunt and the team anthems challenge (see clips below!), and within no time at all - home time!
Kerrera MoBo
Bothy Cuppa Time
So that was our overnight  adventure.

Such fun!
