D.E.S.U @ bothy & curling

Nine explorer scouts from Darroch Unit set their sights on trying new experiences last weekend by choosing to spend the night in a bothy as part of their Zodiac Plus Award and by taking part in a taster session of Curling. After hiking directly into heavy rain with full kit for a few hours to get to the bothy the explorers soon settled in and had a great evening by the roaring fire where many a song was sung amongst good general banter. After breakfast the Unit then headed off to the Waterfront for a swim to freshen themselves up before the Curling session. All explorers and leaders greatly enjoyed the Curling session and some took it too competitively (leaders). Many thanks to the 85^th for the use of the bothy and to the curling coaches for their time and patience.
