Swedish Mountaineering

Our Swedish visitors, a group of our sixth years and Chris Keag in charge took a Saturday morning walk up to the  quarry via the Glen River, and back down via the Bogie Line and Shepherd's Lodge.  There then followed delicious and enormous lunch at the Mourne Cafe, and don't let anyone tell you the service is bad.  All thirty of us were served very promptly, and we went for broke, with breads and oils, trying out the full selection of main courses from Thai curry to all sorts of seafood, followed by the full selection of puddings,  lattes and tea.  After a last dander up our beautiful promenade, our visitors collected their luggage and headed off on the bus for Dublin.  They had a wonderful time, and I was very proud of Newcastle and our own wonderful students, who gave up their Saturday to make sure our visitors enjoyed their stay.
