RuthHaving accompanied a group ‘o young eens’ to Norway before on the Swan, I was keen to repeat the experience. The last time had been with the Scalloway youth club; this time will be with the St Andrews youth club in Orkney. There was a fair bit of interest in the club when the project was first spoken about, and now we have a group of 10 dedicated young folk, backed by equally dedicated parents & families. We needed a male adult to accompany us, but Ivan; our other youth worker said he couldn’t take time away from his young family. (We all reckoned that was a cop-out, & he just gets a bit seasick!) Anyway, Stewart Walker, one of the young folks dads, was keen to try the Swan experience, so he’s going to be our parent-helper.
