Carlingford!!!! :D

On Monday (September 12th) we went to Carlingford Adventure Centre in Co. Louth!! It was so much fun! I really loved it. We had to meet outside Esso on Monday morning at 6:45am so we would be able to fit in lots of activities that day. There were 77 of us who went so we had 2 buses, a big one and a mini-bus. A group of us decided to go on the mini-bus together. It was so much fun!


When we arrived, we put our bags in a storage room (We had to pack so much clothes!) and started on our first activity. We played lots of mini games such as spider web and low ropes. Afterwards we had lunch before walking up a small mountain (really it was only a steep hill) where we did laser guns! In my opinion this was the most fun! We got to hide behind trees, shoot people and sneak up on the other team. Over all, our red team lost but we still had a brilliant time! That evening we had dinner before we played charades with the boys school that was there too! Then, climbed the mountain again for our next activity. We were blindfolded and had to find our way through the forest holding on to the person in front in the dark. That night in our free time we all sat around the common room and talked and sung songs before bed. We were all wrecked but we still managed to stay up chatting that night. (We got a room that the 11 of us could fit in so it was really good!)


We woke up at 7ish as breakfast was at 8ish. Our activity for the morning was orienteering. It took a while but out team got there in the end! After lunch we had our final activity which was rock climbing and abseiling. I got to the top! I have lots of bruises now though because I sort of crashed into it on my way down :( It was worth it though and I'm really glad I did it. Sadly then it was time to leave even though we wished we could have stayed longer because we loved it so much! I'm hoping to go back again soon! 


So that's really it for now! bye! :D xx
