Scout Expedition challenge - Glasgow 2015

The first person we met was Jermain, he was beautiful.  He was in need for a munch so we fed him cheese and crackers; we even learned that pigeons don’t like ham. ;D
At Xscape, before we did the Sky Walk/Sky drop we all had a go on the Robo Coaster” which is the only coaster in Britain controlled by a robot. Then just after that we met are second person of our challenge called Blair. Blair seemed like a cool guy as he was our skywalk instructor. Blair called us fun names such as: 7up, Bacon Hater, Fin and others. We also had to do the sky drop which involved jumping off of a high platform.  
We also met Alan, Alan was a cool guy but really creepy.  He asked to take our bags and probably tried to steal our possessions. He works at the Tall Ship museum and is a form of Security guard and was 35. He also claimed he was a scout when he was younger.
After we had had a long journey and after noon at Xscape, we then headed back towards the Tartan Lodge Hostel. Before we got there we stopped off and bought all our shopping at the Co-operative. Then we all walked over to the Hostel. As we had finally reached the Hostel we lost half of our Wotsits and cried for the rest of the night. 
As soon as we arrived at our hostel we connected to the Wi-Fi before we even got in the door. The man who showed us to our rooms was very nice and he had a very Glaswegian accent.
We unpacked our bags and headed down to the kitchen to cook spaghetti Carbonara with chicken and steamed carrots. It was delicious. We went to our rooms at about 10:00pm. We woke up and made Sausage baps.  
At about 9.00am we left to go to the necropolis to do a treasure hunt type thing. We completed the hunt quite quickly so we had time to go to the cathedral.
We got on the tour bus to go site seeing and sat on it for at least half an hour.We got off at the Riverside museum and did the global Treasure app which was a series of different quizzes each place we went to.
We visited the Mitchell library but it was very boring so we left very quickly. After we got on the bus and went to McDonalds and we sat there for an hour and a half.
When then headed down to the Glasgow bus station and waited for our bus ride Home. We had a slight panic, when we looked at the bus size and glanced back over at the amount of the passengers there were. We didn’t all sit together on the bus as three of us sat in a row the other one sat by themselves a couple rows ahead.
We arrived safely home in Inveruire.
