The Outward Bound Trust Loch Eil Description
Set in extensive grounds on the shores of Loch Eil, this is our most remote outdoor education centre and a former shooting lodge once owned by the Chief of the Clan Cameron. Close to Fort William and some of Europe's most beautiful and remote true wilderness, it’s ideal for adventure, walking and canoeing while nearby Ben Nevis is the venue for many of our climbing activities.

Scrambling in Glen Nevis today...
Winter “Jog and Dip”.... a commitment at any time of year, but today... it was atmospheric!
Happy Monday from the team at Outward Bound Loch Eil.

Today we are hosting a regional meeting of @AHOECUK Scotland at @LochEilCentre. Looking forward to welcoming colleagues.
Pemchhiri Sherpa talking with pupils from St Leonard’s about his work as a high altitude Sherpa on Mount Everest, which he has climbed 14 times.
The students were fantastic, asking great questions, and Pem was brilliant with them. Magic!
Our very brave and “up for it” students from St Leonards School went for a quick dip yesterday before storm Brendon hit! The support for each other helped them through... well done, everyone! It’s promising to be a great week here at Loch Eil with these enthusiastic boys and girls around!💪🏻💪🏻
Amazing new year effort from our catering team and volunteers who have repainted our Loch Eil dining room this Sunday, a day before we reopen!
A great afternoon with colleagues who want the very best for the young people we work with!
Thanks team and a very happy new year!

Happy New Year from Loch Eil! First day back at work for our team and top of the list was to ensure that our pizza ovens were still running and are ready to be used on our next adventures with young people... well, we can report that they still make very nice pizza indeed! 😜 Here is to an adventurous 2020! 🏔🛶
From all the staff at Outward Bound Loch Eil, have a great Christmas break and we will see you in the new year for more adventures!
It was a stunning day at Outward Bound Loch Eil today. Postcard?
Dulwich Wood Primary School went exploring the beaches out west today supporting one another every step of the way and coming up close and personal with the “locals”... what a fantastic way to spend the day in the Highlands of Scotland!

We made the absolute most of it with a great week of weather and bags of enthusiasm and eagerness to learn from everyone! Good luck to all of you with your next steps in your leadership journey...
After some learning about weather and synoptic charts in the morning the Women’s Outdoor Leadership course went out climbing again today with lots more learning, laughs and adventures... Brilliant!
The Outward Bound Women’s Outdoor Leadership course is up in Scotland this week and we made the most of daylight hours and dry conditions at Kingussie Crag today! What a fantastic day! Lots and lots of climbing and learning was happening all day. Great effort from everyone! We are psyched for more tomorrow...
