A group of S4 pupils accompanied by staff spent the weekend of the 9th January at one of the Self-Catering Lodges in the grounds of the Lagganlia Outdoor Centre near Aviemore.

In the freezing cold (see the pictures of a frozen Loch Morlich) they took part in a number of activities and had great fun.

We have a couple of videos from the weekend.
