Beginning the day once more with a deliriously early start, we set off for Lamlash Bay in search of rockpools and the inhabitants thereof. After a short briefing by Stephenie we began our exploration of the beach.

After a few hours of careful study, an examination of otter poo that was a little too close for comfort and a team photo we continued onwards to the site of Arran Agricultural Show to help COAST set up their marque.

| A bit of manpower |
An additional unexpected task presented itself in the form of a mosaic of Curly the octopus, the construction of which tested our mental agility and physical strength.

Finishing unexpectedly early, we found ourselves once more on the Bus of Fun, this time headed back to the lodge and shortly after to the beach, where we were tasked with the construction of a team mascot. Under Lucy's masterful artistic direction, our plans began to take shape. We would construct a seal.

After a laticework of rocks was designed to take the weight of the sand, work began on the sculpture proper.

Soon, our masterpiece began to take shape.

After what seemed like hours of hard toil, our seal stood magnificent and proud, a testimony to our teamwork and artistic skill.

And so our day drew to a close, and we retired to the bunkhouse for pizza and jelly, lovingly prepared by Jemima, Becky and Rachel.
