Climbing and Coasteering on Hoy today.

Sheltered swimming spots..

Emma on Belay duty.

Barry Curly climbing at Maggie Mouat's Geo.

Fun little swell spots!

Andy on a new route at Brims Ness.

The sun didn't stop shinning all day on Hoy!

An early start saw the instructors team coasteering at Brims Ness point. A reasonable swell was rolling around Hoy from the NW but it still managed to reach the south coast! We had a fun and at times exciting coasteer along this lovely stretch of coastline. The late afternoon we changed gear and went rock climbing at sweet sea cliff called Maggie Mouat's Geo. We had a look at setting up belays, running sessions and climbed a few wee routes. I managed a first ascent, which we called after a local lady, who delivers the post. ' Fay's Saturday Post'. A great few days of work Technically advising with a great team from the Orkney Outdoor Education Service, can't wait to head back again.

Working on Orkney.

Gorge / canyon Scrambling on Hoy, great fun adventure.

Brims crag on Hoy.

Yesnaby, sport routes on all walls!

Coasteering should be interesting tomorrow! Yesnaby Castle a 115ft stack, first climbed by Joe Brown in 1967.

don't trip.

I am up on Orkney technically advising for the council at their various very well appointed island centres / hostels. It's Fantastic work and new Island ticks for me!

So far I have explored, climbing venues on the Orkney 'Mainland' at the dramatic, Yesnaby, surprisingly it's a sport venue. It's up to 50 feet high and has some sweet routes. I travelled over to Hoy early this morning and climbed at Brims Point, a short but fun [tidal] single pitch crag and descended a really bizarre gorge on Hoy running into the sea Called 'The Candle of the Sale'.

The weather is typically windy, but the Sunshine's and out of the wind it's summer.

Coasteering instruction tomorrow. There is a huge Northerly swell running so should be exciting!

Dave Birkett was spotted after doing the Old Man! Nice one...

Bouldering on Mull.

I'm heading off to Orkney in the morning to Technical Advise on Coasteering and Climbing, which should really interesting work and it's a new island tick too.
However I thought it might be nice to have a wee bit of Mull sunshine and rock images. The summer season is shaping up and I'm looking forward to those warm Hebridean evenings again.

Toddlers activity adventures at Tavool House.

A bit of a change of age group this weekend, but what a blast! Three, Three year olds adventures on Mull. A very active weekend at Tavool, non stop challenges and adventures for Ben, Joe and Rory. Climbing trees, Canadian canoeing, walking and exploring, swimming and dam building. I am shattered!

I look forward to more Toddlers adventures soon.

A great end to a fun week on Mull.

Sun, Sun, Sun and rock and water on the Ross of Mull today.

The week with the young carers is nearly over apart from the BBQ and some more giggles!

What an inspiring bunch of young folk! And the food has been amazing at Tavool House Outdoor centre! I reckon the best food in the Uk at outdoor centres, well probably!

Perth Young Carers go canyoning and Camping. Wet and Dry!

A lovely evening wander along The Burg.

the calm before the storm!

the Tavool Gorge.

The weather gods have been a little cruel over the last few days, but we have had adventures both wet and dry all the same. Tuesday, saw us in the gorge at Tavool and then on an evening walking expedition and camping trip. A calm, sunny evening followed so the young folk really enjoyed just chilling out watching the wildlife and the waves crashing into the west coast of Mull. We woke to some really really wet weather and a heads down retreat to the centre!

This was really wet rain, the wettest I have been out in for a while. The group did so well. Back at Tavool House the sense of relief was strong, warmed up and fed we then charged out for more fun and games. Coasteering and Climbing on the Ross of Mull tomorrow, bring on the sunshine, please?

Another Great day on the West Coast of Scotland.

Challenges in the woods.

The leaders get stuck in too!

What a morning view from Tavool House!

Day 2 out at Tavool Outdoor Centre on Mull. After early showers we had another sunny and very warm day working on 'The Burg', in the gorges and facilitating a variety of team building challenges for the Young Carers from Perth. They just took on every challenge we offered them!
