Ty week three

This week of ty has been the most tiring yet enjoyable week so far. It has been very eventful. On Monday and Tuesday all the tees went to Carlingford with Miss O’Callaghan and Miss Rowan. It was amazing. I got up at six o’clock Monday morning to leave for Carlingford at seven. When we got there we were assigned our rooms and given our keys, about an hour or so afterwards we were split into groups to do different activities. My first activity was going to the high ropes, they were so much fun! We had to do a lot of climbing and stuff on logs high up in the air, we had harnesses on but some of it was still pretty scary. After that we went back to the hostel for a filing lunch of chicken nuggets and chips after that we were off again. This time we went to the sea where we were giving wet suits helmets and life jackets we all done canoeing in two seater canoes it took a while to get into the swing of it but afterwards we did very well I must say. When we were finished canoeing we did pier jumping. There as a small wall and a higher wall that we could jump off of I started on the small one but jumped off the big one a good few times to. It was alot of fun. We went home had dinner, rested for an hour and then went out for a mountain hike. At first everyone hated it cause it was very windy and raining hail stones and getting dark. Our group ended up getting lost and arriving back 40 minutes later than the rest of the girls but as the time passed we all enjoyed ourselves. The next day we were up bright and early at eight o’clock my first activity was orienteering and afterwards we did artery. We went back for lunch then came back for our last activity i9n Carlingford which was“ the challenge course”. That and the high ropes were my favourite activities. One of the challenges was a pitch black  three story maze where we had to find the exit by communicating with each other that’s was probably the best one in the course. My second favourite one was the river crossing. We had to get across a kind of a ditch of water using two small planks of wood without anything getting wet. My fist time trying to get across I fell in and got wet up to my knees, but the second time was even worse. I fell into the water full body and was soaked head to toe. It was really finny! I had to go and take off my jumper and put on one of the instructors’ jackets, we all got a good laugh out of it. After that it was time to get our bags and go home L. I’ll always remember my time at Carlingford I had fun and bonded and that’s what it’s all about. On Wednesday we got our junior cert results. Everyone was nervous including myself but I was delighted with my results. That night I went to time in Naas with all the girls that got their results, it was a brilliant night and everyone enjoyed themselves but we were all knackered on Thursday morning. It was worth it though. As you can see this week was very exciting and so much fun too.
