A day in Brodick

The second day began here on Arran at 10:00 with our visit to the beach across the road. We looked at differentiating between a Common Gull and Herring Gull, searching for other wildlife on the beach, stone skimming, playing a beach version of tag while learning about Arran and other interesting things, and finally putting our imaginations to use when sand-scaping! We decided on creating a mermaid, using a member of our team as a body to sculpt around. This ended in a sea-soaked mess!

We then returned to the lodge to have some lunch before embarking on a walking trip to the Brodick Highland Games. We saw caber-tossing, hammer-throwing, Highland dancing, pipe bands, traditional and non-traditional stores such as whiskey & cheese tasting stores, burger & chips stores and many other interesting events. We split into groups to look around and discover this event and eventually met back together to see the large pipe band march around the running track. Needless to say, it was "rad"!

As the day drew to a close, it began to drizzle. On the way back, we played with our winnings (bears and fluffy tigers and such) and continued to have some fun!

Let the epic John Muir journey continue again tomorrow... #banter
