Carlingford (:

one of the first things we did as a TY group is our fantastic trip to carlingford ... we hhad to get up wayy too early and go to the ESSO  garage for the bus.  when we got there we had to decide on which rooms we want to be in  which was great because we could be with our friends :)  i was in a room of 6 people including Laura, Katie, Fiona, Jessica and rachel :)  we are all good friends so we got on great throughout the whole trip :)
our first activity was a challenge course around a field...it was too wet and way too cold but it was amazing fun :D  the instructors  were funny, nice and sneaky  haha  they were always leading us on to thinking we were doing  certain activities or something and then saying  'nahh not really'    so they wound us up quite alot on the first day.    later that same day we went down to the peir and made a giant raft/ canoe  and PPAAADDDLLLED accros to the other side :)
it was great fun as the instructors picked us up by our life-jackets and hauled us into the water  it was surpriseingly warm for the irish sea haha   after this we went over to the peir and went peir jumping which was also great fun  as the peir was about 3 mettres up from the water...more in parts :O hehe
the guides were unbelievably nice on the first day...their names were.. dermot...matt....paoblo( mark)  seanny

that night we went on a midnight hike up a muontain :O    then we went through a pitch black cave which wae had to crawl through :O  it was soooo scaryy but it was gteat fun.

we were allowed go to the chinese takeaway that night too :)

the next day we went on the high ropes and did many  group trust  activities up there. 
As you can see we were up very high!

    Then... at the end of a greaatt 2 days we went on an orientation trip.... lets just say tempers flared at some of the guides...  haha but all was soon forgotten and everyone was great mates again in no time :)

it was sad when we had to leave :'(  most of the instructors would be dearly missed  and so would the activities  haha  overal it was a great 2 days and i wouldnt have missed it for the world  xD


talk soon
