Carlingford :)

Last Monday, 12th of September the three T.Y classes gathered at the garage at 6:45 am. We were all so tired but so excited to be going to Carlingford. A double decker bus and a minibus waited for us.  We registered with Ms Leahy and set off on the buses. It took about two hours to get there but it was worth it!
When we arrived in Carlingford we collected our bags off the bus and were led to the centre. We left our bags in one of the rooms there and were told to put on our wellies because we were going to be doing our first activity-the challenge course!! We split into groups and walked for about ten minutes with our leader John to get to the bus which brought us to the challenge course. When we arrived we put on helmets and were told we had to complete different challenges to win gems which would result in a prize for whichever group got the most. The challenges needed all of us working together ,so thats what we did! The challenges were really enjoyable, even though some included walking up a lot of hills! When we completed the challenges we walked back to the centre.
There, we had our lunch of sausages and chips. After lunch we walked up many more steep hills to get to the forest to play laser tag!! This was my favourite activity. We split into a red team and a blue team and had a fun game of laser tag.
Later on we returned to the centre and had dinner. Afterwards we went back to the forest and did night-line. This was also really fun. We had to put on blindfolds and hold onto each other. We walked through the forest,with our leader Wayne jumping out of the trees and scaring us half to death!!
After night-line we again went back to the centre and relaxed there. We met a boys school there and everyone had great craic. Some of the girls from our year sang also. We went to bed at 11.30 and we even more tired than we had been before!!

The next morning we got up at eight o'clock and went downstairs for breakfast. We then put on our wellies again and went up the hills once again to do orienteering .This took a long time and eventually my group got lost so we headed back to the centre. It had been a long day.
we left Carlingford at five o clock and got home at seven.

Overall it had been a brilliant trip :)
