At 7o clock on monday morning we set off to Carlingford. We were all tired but very excited. When we arrived the weather was overcast but it didnt dampen our spirits! We went in and unpacked , and where split into 6 groups of 10 and met our instructors. I was put into group 4 and groups 4 5 and 6 were put together for the two days. First we went to the challenge course. We did the low ropes , the water pump , communication breakdown and the maze. We had great fun and got very wet and muddy! :) We then went back for lunch , did canadian canoeing and pier jumping in the afternoon , and then walked back for dinner. At 7.00 we went out for a night walk up the mountain and got chinese when we got back. Groups 1-3 didnt arrive back from the walk for more than a hour after us because they got lost up the mountain in the dark! Then we went off to bed.
On tuesday we had to get up early to pack , clean our rooms , strip our beds and have breakfast before the activities started at 9.00. We did the high ropes in the morning and i had a great time trying out the three sections. At lunch we found out that high winds were coming so all water activities were cancelled. We went mountain orienteering for the afternoon and the sun finally came out!
We went back to the centre ,got our bags and left for home. We all had a great time but we were all exausted. The few days were great and we learned alot about our new classmates through the activities. :)
