The wonderful outdoor activities lodge at Feshiebridge, near Aviemore, used to be run by the PEdO at Kinloss.

As I remember it had 3 wings which each had room for about a dozen warm bodies sleeping in bunks, and a large kitchen/communal room. There was also a central drying room for wet clothes etc.

It had a ski store, so during the winter you could get boots and skis etc and you also got a ski lift pass.

In the summer there were kayaks and canadian canoes which you could take out to Loch Insh or Loch Morlich.

I seem to remember the cost was about £3 per person per day.

We had some fantastic times there both in the winter and summer seasons.

On one occasion a Rolls Royce rep (male) and a senior civil servant (female) dared each other to get undressed, garment by garment. He went the whole way and waved it about; she, as it turned out, was double bagged and so we never saw her bits. What a shame!

I loved that place. I even took my my wife and 2 little daughters there for a holiday one summer.

But my point is - who is managing it now?
