Scouts and Leaders from 1st Gourock spent the weekend enjoying the best ski conditions for years at Nevis Range. Powdery snow, calm winds and blue skies gave the group of beginners a great environment for learning to ski and snowboard whilst the 'old hands' had a fabulous time developing their skills.
Two days on the slopes left little time for anything else other than some scout banter and R & R to recharge the batteries. Ideal accommodation was provided at The Snowgoose Mountain Centre where the maid service was particularly pleasing to the scouts!
The close up view of the deer on both journeys completed the weekend's excitement with everyone returning home content, intact and eager to do it all again next year. Thanks to Duncan, Bernie and Graham at Footloose for all help and expert tuition.

Saturday 6th February 2010 09:00
We joined up with the 33rd Scouts, leaders and explorer and set off from Overton car Park to walk the full length of the Greenock Cut, stopped for elevenses at Cornalees and then on to Wemyss bay via the 6 miles of the Kelly cut. All the boys, girls and the dog managed the walk with ease. One of the leaders required assistance - not the oldest!. We were met at Wemyss Bay by Graham and Donald the bus, after refuelling on chips we made our way back to Greenock.
This was the first of our West Highland Way practice hikes, the next 2 will be more challenging to give a true indication of what can be expected - dates will be on the calendar.
