We all arrived in Carlingford,met the kind,enthuasitic leaders,were assigned rooms and then our activities began.
My groups first activity was Kayaking!I really enjoyed kawaking but I won't be a proffesional kayaker in the future to say the least!When we reached the tunnel in the sea we all saw through a tunnel and up to a waterfall where we put our head under the waterfall for 10 seconds!It is believed that we will live a day longer after doing this!Next to warm our freezing bodies up we played some games and then pier jumped which was for sure one of my favourtie parts of Carlingford!
After pier jumping we headed back to the centre where we had lunch and then set off to do zorbing and high ropes!
We firstly did high ropes where you climbed up a ladder and pole and then to a pizza box sized square where four girls had to fit onto!I made my way up no bother and suddenly froze half way up the air where i realized i had to fit onto this pizza box!Thanks to Abbie's bravery and help as she was already standing on the box she encouraged me and I got up there!2 other girls followed and we all had to stand on one corner of the square and make a starfish shape.After a while we built up the courage to part from our hug and make the shape, it was the funniest looking starfish shape ive ever seen!I was so glad I did the high ropes it sure was scary up there in the air but was worth it!
After the high ropes we went zorbing which was also great fun!
That evening after the fun-filled activities we had our dinner and then we set off walking up a hill to the forest where we had the 'night line' this was when we were all blindfolded and had to walk through a forest holding on to each others shoulders walking in a line where we overcame obstacles such as trees and insturctors pouring water down our backs and frightening us!It was hilarious and great fun!
We had free time where we went to the local village and got a take away,went back to the centre and were lying in our beds for half 11!
The next day we woke up bright and early,packed had breakfast and had the team challenges and laser where we had to walk up that hill one more time to the forest!Laserwas great fun being dressed up in army suits and shooting our oppositions!We then went back to the centre one last time and it was time to go home :( Sad faces went onto the bus where we made our way back to Esso garage!
All the activites built up team building and trust as we had to rely on each other!It also was a great way of getting to know people better!:)The leaders were amazing,they were all lovely and enthuastic and thank you to them for helping us in the great activities!
I really enjoyed all of the activites throughout the 2 days,they were all brillant :) Even though the weather was against us at times,the trip was still fantastic and I can honestly say they were two of the best days of my life with all the TY's in Carlingford.
It was such great fun to be with all the year group doing such fun activities.Memories of Carlingford will stay with me forever :)
Thanks so much to Ms. L for organising the trip and for Mr. K,Ms. B and Ms. L for accompanying us on the trip. :)
