On Monday 15th September our whole TY group went to Carlingford in Co. Louth. I had been waiting fro this trip since the start of the year so i was very excited! We left celbridge bright and early at 7 am, and after about a 2 hour drive we finally arrived.
We were first introduced to our instructors and told all about the Carlingford centre.We were then assigned to our rooms. Me and my friends got a room for 12, which was lots of fun at night!
The first activity we did was kayaking. The water was freezing at first but after a while we were used to it. My least favourite part was definitely the wetsuits. The second activity that day was a challenge course. This consisted of riddles and games to bond us better as a group. I didnt really like this activity. The last activity done that first day was nightline. This was done in the forest where we followed a rope while blindfolded. Our first day at Carlingford was so much fun!
On Tuesday the 6th, we were woken up at 8 o'clock for breakfast. We then began our first activity of the day, which was single boat kayaking. At first i was nervous to be in a boat by myself but it was easier than expected. We even got to jump off the water trampoline, which was my favourite part. Our last activity of our trip to Carlingford was laser tag. This was by far my favourite activity. We each were given camouflage and a gun. We were then released into an area set up in the forest. We played for hours and i wasnt bored of it once!
We then left Carlingford that day at 5 o'clock. I was sad to leave and i would have loved to stay one more night. This trip brought us closer as a year, and i really look forward to our next trip.
Well done Eleanor. Keep up the blogging!
