Gav- For the john muir award the wild place that i discovered was down in the trossachs at Loch Ard.
I liked this place because of how peaceful it was and that we were the only people there. The scenery of loch Ard was also absolutely stunning being able to wake up and just look right across the loch. In the morning we took a jog and dip in the loch which added to the experience.

Nick- For the John Muir award the wilderness I explored was bivi bagging next to Loch Ard and camping at the top of Ben Laws mountain.
For getting to know the wild place of Loch Ard instead of camping in a tent we used bivi bags. Bivi bags are a large waterproof sleeping bag that you put your own sleeping bag into and you get to sleep under the stars. So you feel even closer to nature than you would in a tent. As nice as it is to sleep under the stars it does get very cold so you need to keep a lot of layers on during the night.
For getting to know the wild place of Ben Lawers we went camping in a tent at 800 meters. We then went out and climbed the rest of the 400 meters using maps and compasses because it was very foggy so high up. It was a new experience being in a cloud at the top of Ben Lawers but it was also super windy and cold. which all added to the experience.
Connor - For the John Muir award as a group, the Coastal Communities carried out various tasks that the East Lothian countryside ranger asked. The kind of tasks we carried out included fencing, turfing, dry stone diking, path maintenance, drainage and bridge work. We also built a flood resistant path at longniddry and a boardwalk at Yellowcraigs. We have done lots of tool maintenance during the year.
Jaimie- This year I took part at the John Muir festival in Dunbar. We set up a stall
and took kids for some sensory games in the woods. We played observation ally and night line, 15 minutes a game we had 8 sessions. After we finished, the kids wrote there names on a big picture of John Muir and what they loved to do
in their spare time.
