Heading into Yester Estate.
A lovely morning in the park.
Walking through the woods next to the Bleachfield.
The whole school walked more than a mile this morning, in aid of Sport Relief. We set off from the playground, headed down towards the Bleachfield, turned into Yester Estate, carried on up towards the house, came back down the road and walked around the perimeter of the Bleachfield and through the woods, before coming back up towards the school.
Back in class, we used the mapping website Map My Run and the laptops to establish that our mile long walk had actually been a walk of 1.61 miles in total! Well done everyone, and thank you to the various parents who came along and supported us along the way.
Well done to everyone, it was very enjoyable and loads of fun, maybe we could do some other big group walks before the summer holidays, especially if the weather stays like this.
Looks like fun. Are you allowed to walk onto other people’s property without permission in Scotland?
An interesting question, Mariot. In Scotland, yes, you can walk onto other people’s property without permission, though many people don’t fully understand this, and some put up signs saying “Private- Keep Out!”. As long as you don’t do any damage, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be there.
