Bambi and friends

Our third day of navigating around Perthshire and it was another beautiful day. We had plenty of time so we had a pleasantly leisurely start to the morning and Jennifer cooked up a hearty breakfast of sausages, bacon and eggs for everyone. Then Jennifer walked behind the group as they set off and I moved the car then walked in from the other end of our route to meet them. Yesterday Jennifer and I saw a deer near Rotmell Farm but the pupils were walking ahead and didn't spot it. Today I reminded them to look out for deer and when I met them they couldn't wait to tell me that not one but THIRTEEN deer had run right across the path in front of them! They were so excited and they have also enjoyed seeing sheep with little lambs and the gorgeous countryside - it's the kind of thing that I hope that they will always remember from their D of E expeditions! After some celebratory cakes and drinks at the café at Dowally we set off homewards. It has been such fun.
