We went to Carlingford at the start of our second week in TY. We left at 7am on Monday morning and had an action-packed two days. On day one, we went on the high ropes in the morning..we climbed 40ft poles and other...high stuff :) Then we had lunch (which was very yummy!!) and went for water sports. Our group did kayaking and then we went pier jumping..it was really fun (but I was petrified!). After dinner we were taken out on an adventure which we'll never forget. We left at 7pm and went on a hike through the mountains. It was rainy and windy but it was a lot of fun and it really helped us to bond with each other. When we arrived back at 10pm we got Chinese :) and then went to bed..
The next day we did orienteering in the morning. We then headed off to do the challenge course, where we had to work together to earn "gems". They included a big truck container that we had to crawl through to find our way out...in the dark!! After that it was time to leave; with our bags packed we hopped on the bus and were back home by 7pm on Tuesday evening.
It was a great two days - we bonded with everyone, made loads of new friends and had a ball!! Thanks to Ms. O' C & Ms. R for bringing us!!

About My Blog
- Aisling Byrne
- Ireland
- Welcome to my blog! In my school (and many other schools in Ireland), fourth year - the year after our Junior Cert - is optional. It's a non-exam-based year but there's still plenty to do like projects in various subjects, work experience, competitions and trying out loads of new things! This year, a new idea was brought into TY; for each student to write a blog on their year...so this is my blog about my experience of TY. I started writing it in Spetember/October and it'll go up to the end of May when we get our Summer holidays and TY is over... If you're thinking of doing TY or if you just want to know more make sure you send me questions and I'll try my best to answer! Enjoy reading it!!
