Taking advantage of the great weather in May, Kinnaird and Altitude Explorer Scout units held a joint meeting travelling to the Auchenstarry quarry at Kilsyth. Some concentrated on improving their paddleboarding skills and didn’t worry if they fell off – it helped cool them down!
Others practised rock climbing and to make it more exciting and to further their experience, the Explorers belayed for each other, (with appropriate supervision of course). This meant that the young people who were climbing were held and lowered by another young person with an instructor standing by and most made it to the top.
