Gordonston school
3 day unaccompanied expedition
This expedition the kids are meant to plan their expedition and show their leadership, decision making and group management skills.
The kids need to explain their route plan and decision making to me before each day I then have to be unseen but never further than 20minutes from them at all times and following their progress throughout.
we started at the parking at luiblea laggan, first camp, at the ruins by lubvan.
2nd camp - 54,13,12 N 23 29 2 W
3rd day walk out to kinloch laggan.
The group did really well, quite challenging conditions with strong winds, but they had good navigational strategies, there were definitely a few people who took control of the nav however they did well and kept together as a team. I was pleased with there progress, I gave them good tips to further develop their navigation and leadership.
Area :
Creag Meagaidh (Loch Lochy To Loch Laggan)
This area includes the famous Creag Meagaidh Range and surrounding peaks of at least 600m. It stretches east of the A82 between Spean Bridge and Invergarry, and north of the A86 as far east as Stob Coire Dubh. There are a large number of impressive winter climbs in Coire Ardair and endless navigation opportunities on and around the high central plateau of Creag Meagaidh itself. The mountains to the north and east of this range are under East Highlands, Monaliadth Mountains.
