Benmore Blog, day three (Bramble)

Today we did caving and kayaking. The caving was scary. We walked up a hill for a while then came to the cave. Pete set up the equipment and we got lowered down through pitch black on a harness to the cave. We turned our torches on at the bottom and started to walk through the cave. There were jagged rocks and big black openings. We saw lumps of quartz and layers of rust in the dark rock. It was like a narrow high tunnel. We got to a bit where we had to climb down a rope and then we walked through the caves for a while then came into sunlight and climbed up a rock with rope. We went for lunch then came back to kayak. We kayaked on Loch Eck which means white horse. It was really windy and at one point there was a whirlpool. We just paddled around for a while then played a game. Pete was the shark and when he tapped our kayak we had to go back to shore. We had a race to grab a pink buoy and Whisky and Bracken fell in while reaching for it. I dropped my paddle and had to paddle around with my hands. I was reaching for the paddle and fell in. Brrr! We went swimming in the loch and are about to built a raft.
