Hen Party and trail run!

This weekend was Teris Hen party, what a weekend!

The idea was to beat Teri to the lodge on the Friday and have it all set up with the willy of memories and the champagne and stuff but it was such a rush and the traffic was mental so I only beat her by about half an hour, and Tanya beat me and did such an amazing job of dressing the place up with balloons before I arrived....! Thank god!

Ich liebe COCOBAY!

Anyways, Teri loved it I think, we had the lodge all ready, got on the champers and our epic, EPIC scale buffet that could have fed about 20 folk I think, and got right into games, social stuff, laughing at photos, getting to know one another...this culminated in a game where we ended up feeding Teri a bunch of shots which ended up being almost a full bottle of sourz...pukey goodness ensued for which I was the custodian of a very drunk Teri who needed to be put into her PJ's and into bed like a very small child ... nawww. Id have been annoyed if she had been half cocked at it on Friday night to be fair. Good girl Teri :)

Saturday morning rolled in and I jumped out of bed to get breakfast ready for everyone, I was already feeling the lack of sleep and another 24hours to go! This morning we went over to the zip lining place which after initial doubts, went really well! Just about right, and the instructor had some really fantastically bad chat which was funny....what a guy :)

hehehehehe

Im too hungover for this.

Super keen!

Excited uni girlies!

Nawwww!

This is her nervous face....!

Teri on it!

Group Zip Trek shot!

After that, we went over to the mountain cafe where I was hoping to take everyone, and that worked out great - but we were late away from the zip and ended up missing our brewery tour which was rubbish, but we got to go mooch at outdoor kit and eat cake so that was good! Everyone elected for a pre-night out nap so, we sacked off the brewery tour which was the only downside, and I went up the hill for a run! It was really hard to motivate myself but when I was up there it was glorious :) windy but nowhere near like Glenshee (which shall forever be the benchmark of strong wind!) Route went from the centre, to Craigdowrie, along the ridgeline over to Meall a' Buachaille and back into the forest and back to the centre. Something like 13k and 640m ascent...not bad for a hangover!

The trail up

Half way...smile girls! I can see you napping!!

The trail up

Big cloudy bits!

Lovely sunny patches :)

Final summit

The trail back

Back down, got ready and of we trotted to La Taverna in Aviemore which was great, there was a posh menu and a buffet and we all had what we wanted, drank out of willy straws which confused our waiter, and then we went off to mambos which is a bar in town.....Aviemore is a hilarious place to go out! We went from there to the Vault, where we were well into the swing of the hen party games of kissing randoms and getting drinks in and doing all kinds of wee dares that were pretty funny actually! Brilliant. The music in the club started out great, but by 2am it was getting very weirdly hardcore and I called a taxi for us and we went back to the lodge for leftover beer mac n cheese that Sarah made... Best. Drunk. Food. Ever.
