Carlingford :)

Wow....what an amazing night!!!! We all came to the esso garage beside Abbey Farm at quarter to 7 on a Monday morning? Really early to say the least!!! We left the Esso at around quarter past on our Mini bus Ms.R and the girls and headed to Carlingford :)When we arrived we grabbed our bags from the bus and headed down to the centre. When we got there, we signed down our groups and went to the common room to get our room assignments. We got a room with 12 beds ( Room 21 :D) and ran to save the best bed and unpack all our food which over flowed one of the big drawers and had more in the second!!!We then headed out to start our days of activities :) we went with Ms. O'C and Sean from the centre and started all our bonding activities which got us wet and muckey but sure nobody cared :) after finding each activity with our maps we got gems depending on how long we had to complete the task. We went to put our helmets back into the "bomb shelter" where we got attacked by the other girls with muck (thanks for that girls!!) and headed back to the centre for lunch.A fter lunch we all headed back to ou rooms and got changed and headed down to do our water activities :) We all got into our wetsuits and helmets and grabbed our PAAAADEEULL and headed into our canoes Turbo, Minty and Fresh!! WE jumped into the freezing water and when we got back we got to jump of the piers :) We went back to the centre, had dinner, and headed out for our evening hike in our two groups. We were in the second group so we were the last to leave the centre. When we got back to the centre after our hike and crawling through a pitch black tunnel, the other group were no where to be found so we headed out to the chinese with Ms O'C :) When they eventually arrived back! we had free time and went to see each others rooms and food supplies ;) and a had a great midnight feast!! Everyone was exhausted but the girls wouldnt let us sleep! We were woken the next morning and headed out for morning activities, which were pretty scary from hanging of a tiny platform with 3 other girls but enjoyed by everyone :) we went back for lunch and had a game of vollyball and then headed out for orientiering!! After getting lost and attcked by rams we were pretty tired so we headed back to the centre and changed our clothes, said our goodbyes and headed back to Celbridge to get ready for JC resultss!! We had a great time and would definatly do it again!!
