| Selection - August 16-20th 2004 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| On the 16th-20th of August 2004 I went on selection of the Isle of Coll in Scotland. Selection, as everyone says was an amazing experience and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to go there (and go back again in July for training!) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I stayed in Corran House (www.corranhouse.co.uk). The ferry was at 8:00am - not as early as it can be - I've heard of the ferry leaving at 6, but still early when it's wet and cold, and you had to fly up from Luton Airport the day before! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| On Coll, you stay with host families. I stayed with Karlijn and her two sons Scott and Olaf, who were all totally lovely (and Karlijn is a brilliant cook!) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Project were continually assessing us, and although this can feel at little strange - being watched 24/7, you get used to it. Project Trust like to get to know you so that they can place you in a project that you are well suited to, and also with a person that you will get on with! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We did loads of activities over the selection course including digging lazy beds, teaching, and learning Scottish dancing for the Thursday night ceidilh! The ceidilh was loads of fun - just go for it! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
