Team Eigg have been hard at work this morning repaying the very kind owner of our accommodation, for her generosity in letting us stay here. They have pruned, weeded, grass cut, built a wheelbarrow, harvested rhubarb, chopped it up and enjoyed eating it!

Today we have walked to The Singing Sands & spent plenty of time in the sea at the beautiful Bay of Laig. We biked back across to the southern end of the island & explored Eigg's famous caves with Norah Barnes, Eigg's ranger & wildlife expert. #TeamEigg #NiddVentureAdventure

Team Eigg jumping for joy as the sun went down last night and leaping into Day 4 of their adventures! #NiddVentureAdventure

Today Team Eigg have conquered the mighty An Sgurr of Eigg - a major part of all our pre Eigg trip planning & anticipation. Sgurr means 'jagged, rocky peak' in Gaelic. At 393m high, it's one of the most impressive sights on the west coast of Scotland. #TeamEigg

Tour de Eigg peloton in full flow! #NiddVentureAdventure

Sadly rain stopped play back at Team Nidderdale HQ for Sports Day. No such misfortune for Team Eigg who held the Eigg Island Games 2023 on the beach! All after conquering An Sgurr! They're unstoppable!

Flourish Programme. Do you have spare time or capacity to share a skill with our students? Mrs Kay, Director of Learning for Wellbeing is seeking volunteers . More details here nidderdale.n-yorks.sch.uk/wp-content/upl… ‘Let us strive to flourish. More than we strive to accomplish’.

Team Eigg contributed to preserving Eigg's natural beauty & protecting the environment. Beach clean-up at Kildonnan Beach, with an environmental youth group staying on Eigg. Great to see them acting so responsibly & sharing views about the importance of looking after our planet.

A glorious walk along the Beinn Bhuidhe cliffs and past the much awaited 'God's Finger'. The views of Skye & Rum from up there have got to be one of the best in the world... #TeamEigg #NiddVentureAdventure

Farewell to Eigg. After a last dip in the sea and a time trial back to the ferry terminal, Team Eigg said goodbye to their home of the last 5 days. The ferry ride looking back at the island allowed time for some reflection and reminiscing. #NiddVentureAdventure #TeamEigg

Team Eigg are all safely back home after a once in a lifetime, memory making, friendship cementing trip. Thank you to Miss Tuffs and super volunteer Greg for looking after Team Eigg every step of the way. Everyone will sleep well tonight! #TeamEigg #NiddVentureAdventure
