BB Camp was short and sweet this year - and a bit different from ‘normal’ but we weren’t complaining! It barely rained, we had no phones to distract us, the boys happily played on the beach, enjoyed the planes at the Museum of Flight, climbed North Berwick Law, ate ice-cream, tried Disc Golf (thank you Reboot Disc Golf at Bluebell Woods) and played putting, as well as volleyball, football and Kubb at camp. Of course, we went to Fox Lake, too, but we’ll put those photos in separate album to come. ... See MoreSee Less

It’s been a busy couple of days at camp and there isn’t a great phone signal (no bad thing sometimes!) but here we all are up North Berwick Law for a sunset walk tonight. Great views back to our campsite and all the way to the Forth Bridges and Ochils. ... See MoreSee Less

Well we’ve found a gem of a place for our camp this year! Look at the views: beach, sea, the Bass Rock and peace and quiet (well, until we arrived). We’ve been playing volleyball, football, kubb and had a wee trip into North Berwick for putting. Big thanks to Carol for some treats the boys enjoyed for supper! ... See MoreSee Less
