Hoy day 1


It was lovely and sunny as we set off this morning for Hoy.
Along with a few tourists we loaded our bags and waved to our mums and dads on the pier.

Goodbye Stromness! Hello Hoy!
 Very soon we had arrived in Hoy, jumped in the minibuses and arrived at the Hoy Centre.
After getting our kit, we had lunch and set off for some gorge walking.

Happy gorgewalkers!
 A gentle start  let everyone get used to wet feet.

Everyone helped each other.

Three points of contact.
 Soon everyone was enjoying being in such a special place and seeing nature from a different perspective.
Travelling in groups.

The gorge gets steeper.
At the end of the gorge there were a couple of caves to explore before making our way back up. By then  we were experienced gorge walkers and we made quick work of getting back to the top.

Back to the Hoy Centre for dinner and a change of clothes.
This evening beach activities and archery!
