WOW Just WOW

First Expedition of 2017 and what a cracker. Students from Glasgow Academy took on the mighty Loch Lomond, and were gifted with an incredible 3 days of sunshine, sunsets and flat calm conditions. 

 Day 1

 Grant, Suns out Guns out!

 What you shooting Grant!

 Silence

 As darkness fell things just got better

 First view from my hammock on the morning of day 2

 Sunrise did not disappoint

 My favourite photo

 The students were pretty happy with the weather

 As was Grant!

 Team 'Beyond Adventure'

 Night 2 wasn't bad either

 And I guess day 3 was OK!

 And it just kept getting better

Ahhhhhhhh!
