The final leg to camp requires some stretches…high spirits…tired bodies. Uddingston Grammar School

And the day begins…movement has started after our first night! Ready for the big trip across the Kilpatricks to our wild camp for tonight. #madetough ⁦Uddingston Grammar School⁩ ⁦@mrsmcwilliamUGS⁩ #uddytough

A big day but they are smashing it! Well done to all our S4/5 pupils today. Just their final walk off the kilpatrick hills to their wild camp for the night. ⁦Uddingston Grammar School⁩ ⁦@mrsmcwilliamUGS⁩ #uddytough

What a team! Couldn’t do this without you all, even though we are all frozen to the bone and you must be bored of my chat. Thank you Miss Marshall, Vision Support Service Ms Wylie, Uddingston Grammar PE Miss Neil and Brian from South Lan DofE #uddytough

And they’re done for day 2! What an effort…20km, 5 hills and a lot of map work later…some well earned sore muscles. Now they’re in setting up tents and cooking food under headlight and moon light! One more push home tomorrow to Uddingston Grammar School @mrsmcwilliamUGS #uddytough

Wake up it’s a beautiful morning! A very cold night but the troops are up and getting some fuel in the engine before their final push home to ⁦Uddingston Grammar School⁩ #uddytough

And we’re up and away before 9. Well done to everyone, smiles and laughter as we go DOWN to the finish line! Uddingston Grammar School #uddytough

Sometimes we make mistakes…this team left their map case at the final check point last night! So after a heart felt apology to the whole expedition they performed heads, shoulders, knees and toes this morning to lift our spirits. Well done boys…lesson learnt! #uddytough

What a 3 days it has been. So hugely impressed my all 34 pupils who completed this week’s Silver Practice. Huge effort and determination shown by all. Time for all of us to have a well earned rest…! #uddytough

11 of our S6 pupils heading off on their ⁦The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award⁩ Gold Practice. They’ve used the day to prep and get sorted, now time to head up to camp before 2 big days of walking. #ugstough

Making good progress to camp, just time for a quick energy stop before we carry on.

Smiles are on ready for a 24km day to our wild campsite! #uddytough 🤘

A beautiful morning as we make progress along our latest map feature. #uddytough

Heading off back into the Kilpatrick hills from the north to find our wild campsite for the night. A great effort by the pupils but with possibly no signal tonight…so don’t worry if you don’t hear from us till the morning! #uddytough #digitaldisconnect

A bit of signal still…as we head up to our camp for the night. Some great determination from all involved. Well done team! 🤘💪 #uddytough

Well it’s a glorious and windy view from the tents this morning. After a long slog yesterday we stopped at a high camp on the kilpatrick Hills. Now the long walk home!! #uddytough

The morning started with the breaking of high camp and then a river crossing before our first two peaks of the day. Great energy from the team and lots of smiles (we’re heading g home!) #uddytough

When reaching the summit it’s important to have a team selfie…Doughnot Hill 💪🤘 #uddytough

The final push to the train station is on, after some broken ankles, lost pupils and temper tantrums (all scenarios!) we’re ready for a comfy seat and a cuppa! 🤘#uddytough
