HPL /Roses Project are again running a respite adventure activity residential for a group of young carers from Perth. Based at Tavool House Outdoor Centre they have been taking part in a variety of activities such as Canyoning, Kayaking, Climbing and Hill walking. Part of their week has been to train towards their Duke of Edinburgh Awards, so allot of time has been spent learning about map work, compasses and expedition planing. The weather has been fabulous with wall to wall sunshine every day!

HPL has two weeks available at Tavool House this coming autumn for groups for adventure courses or family holidays, and Tavool is still available for New Years and Christmas, if you are looking for self catering accommodation for the celebrations.

A short film from this week will follow at the end of the week.

Strathallan School On Mull.

I have just had some photos sent of Strathallan School's adventures on Mull during a Roses Project residential at Tavool House. Just a couple of watery based shots, coasteering and Canyoning, the pupils had a fantastic time Climbing, Coasteering, Gorge walking etc.

One of their teachers commented on our feed back forms that Tavool was a 'beautiful location, outstanding hospitality, inclusive activities and the 'non-outdoor' children have really enjoyed the adventure activities'. Thanks to Liam and Dan our instructors for making it such a great week and the photo's.

HPL and Rose Project courses are run all year round for more info check out www.hebrideanpursuits.com
