A weekend in the Cairngorms
with cold but bright days and snow on the mountains. Wonderful!
I was there to deliver a day on
stories for activity and expedition leaders for Wilderness Scotland to extend
their storytelling skills. This was part of an activity leaders' development programme, a joint venture betweenWS and the Institute for Outdoor Learning . Enthusiastic participants, nice venue and beautiful
setting. What more could a'body ask for?

We spent Saturday evening in
the company of Rupert Hutchinson watching planets rise and constellations twinkle
slowly into sight as the skies darkened. Saturn looked like a cartoon of
itself: such a small, precise image through the telescope. Venus and Mars
glowed and we lost Andromeda somewhere behind Glenmore Lodge.
There was also an echo of an earlier
post in the tiny peblle person who emerged during one of our exercises and promptly
charmed the whole company so we took lots of photos of him/her/it posing….
