Arrival for survival

The children were really cheerful as the assault boats ploughed through the sea loch towards the island. 

However, once we arrived, a slightly more serous tone descended.

The first group to arrive scoured the foreshore for winkles led by Mehmed and Ned who have a real taste for seafood.

Once all four boatloads of pupils had arrived, Mark (our leader) explained the rules and then in a puff of goretex and rucksacks, they were off forraging for nesting materials.
