Unexpectedly warm

I set off to Guay yesterday for a two day Bronze D of E expedition. I certainly didn't expect the weather to be so hot! It was sunny and warm but also very muggy. As soon as we started walking I totally overheated even though I was drinking lots of water. Everyone else felt roasting too. At one point I took my boots and socks off and cooled my feet in a stream which was lovely. When we got to Loch Ordie we had lunch and lay down on the grass near the wee bridge; it was an idyllic setting. Going back down to the campsite was much more pleasant because not only was it all downhill, a pleasant breeze had sprung up. The pupils did well but let's just say that some of them need to work on their navigation! We saw some newts in a puddle and Shona picked one up - it was so cute! We heard a cuckoo too and there were lots of bluebells beside the path through the woods. By the time we got back to the campsite it had completely clouded over. A curry (for staff only!) and a convivial evening followed.
