Three days in, and so far we have:
Canoe trip on Loch Ard with fire to toast smores and fresh coffee, with added jumping in.
Biked round Carron Valley.
Climbed Ben Vorlich.

Tomorrow eldest OAB reckons we *have* to do a ride up a Munro or at Laggan, as it's the only step 'up' in 'Rad' he can see...

I reckon a river paddle may be needed - anyone else around...?

(and I aim to send em back to school asleep on their desks..)

They should be tethered indoors sat in front of the widescreen TV's they have in their bedrooms, playing games. As a Scottish secondary teacher I am dumbfounded by your heresy and joie de vivre.

PS: We get two weeks off in Fife - the second being traditional 'tatty picking holiday'...

😉

Not off until next week, but we may have a trip to Cairngorm skiing tomorrow because the forecast is sublime!
