What a busy time it's been this year.From fantastic students from Belgium who scaled Conic Hill in the driving wind and rain to some kids from the USA who preferred the battlefield at Culodden.

A Safari up in the hills of Perthshire,hiking on Mull and Skye in the sunshine.Also leading a line of  5 Mini Cooper Convertibles around part of the Great North 500 was a first!
