day 1: Stranded on Arran





Our quest to shore lodge bunkhouse began with the group meeting promptly at Glasgow station of which we departed from via a slow but fairly decent train. Immediately after reaching Ardrossan harbour, we caught the 3.15 ferry to Brodick and we finally had the opportunity to begin to mingle with our fellow team mates. After the ferry docked at Brodick, we wrestled our way onto the local bus and we were dropped off at the bunkhouse.

We reluctantly made our beds and decided on a rota for duties over the following five days.  Thank you to Andrew, Ali and Maddi for cooking a wonderful gourmet spaghetti bolognese on our first night at the lodge.  Your superior cooking skills will be hard to beat!

Whilst many of us will be heading to bed early tonight, some will be watching the Olympic Games opening ceremony which starts at 11.40pm. We are all eagerly awaiting the Brodick Highland Games which we will be attending tomorrow.
