Network heads north for camp - 22-07-2010
Gary Bainbridge details the Summer Camp adventure
of the 77th Scout Network...
Our summer camp adventure began first thing on the morning of Monday 5th July when we gathered with 2 minibuses at The Quay in Glasgow and 8 Network Scouts and 9 Leaders loaded ourselves and our gear to head for Badaguish, just outside Aviemore. Badaguish is a fully accessible outdoor centre with modern log cabins and was an ideal setting for summer camp.
During the course of the week we went cycling, clay pidgeon shooting and fishing, tried out the swimming pools in Inverness and at the Macdonald Resort in Aviemore and of course has some time to relax in camp.
After what seemed like no time at all, we were packing up and heading off for our next destination; Fort Augustus.
We spent our last 2 nights of summer camp at Cumberlands Campsite and on the Saturday, the Networkers walked the Great Glen Way from Altsigh to Invermoriston which for them was knackering but rewarding to complete the hike.
All too soon, Sunday morning was with us and we were striking camp ready for the journey back to Glasgow, with a pit stop at The Green Welly in Tyndrum.
The 77th Scout Network is for young adults aged 18 to 25 with physical disabilities. To find out more, please visit their website.
