We were delighted to welcome back some of the North East Scotland College 🎓 Bringing Learning to Life team last week as part of their annual staff wellbeing day.
Some of the team enjoyed paddleboarding on the loch, while others enjoyed a swim. A lovely way to enjoy the beautiful weather.

Busy day today with over 50 Scouts Scotland joining us on the water.
The Auchenblae group tried their hand at raft building and then went straight into canoeing and kayaking.
The 66th Aberdeen group developed their skills in canoe, kayak and paddleboarding as they worked their way to their Level 2 Paddlesport badge.
The odd shower couldn't put them off as they threw themselves into everything.

This weekend we are running two Donmouth tours!
Saturday at 11 and on Sunday at 12 we will paddle from near the beach, up under Ellon Road and under the historic Brig o' Balgownie through this beautiful gorge and to the bottom of Seaton Park before returning.
Come and explore this oasis in the middle of Aberdeen.
This is our most popular tour and is suitable for all craft so if you fancy paddleboarding but your friend fancies kayaking you can still share this beautiful journey together.
