Carlingford 2014!

Our TY group just got back from Carlingford Adventure Centre, co. Louth. It was an amazing two days spent with my year group!

On Monday 15^th we had a very early start. We were told to meet at 07:00am for the bus to Carlingford, so each of us arrived at the local Esso station one by one, half asleep and loaded with bags. Despite our tiredness, the bus there was great fun!

The journey took around two hours. When we arrived, we were told where to go and what activities we were going to be doing. The town of Carlingford was so pretty! We all thought it was similar to something you would see in Harry Potter!

 I was sharing a room with Anna (http://annahepple.blogspot.ie/), Dearbhla (http://dearbhlaty.blogspot.ie/), Aisling D (http://aislingdoran46.blogspot.ie/), Aisling K (http://mytylife.blogspot.ie/) and Sophie (http://mydevinetyexperience.blogspot.ie/ ) . Our room seemed to be one of the newer rooms, and it was actually really nice! We were delighted as there were plenty of sockets to charge our phones!

I enjoyed the food we were given at the adventure centre! On the first day we were given sausages, beans, chips and potatoes for lunch and spaghetti bolognese for dinner. We only stayed for lunch on day two, and of course the majority of us brought piles of junk food with us also!

The activities we did were kayaking, canoeing, laser tag and team building games. All of the activities were really fun, but my favorite was definitely the laser tag. For the laser tag, we were given camouflage overalls or “cam-onsies” as one of the instructors called them! We were also given a laser gun and a headset. We were then split into the red team and the blue team, I was on the blue team. We played a series of red vs blue games, which the blue team won (woo blue team!). We had to walk ages to get to all of our activities which was a small but tiring, but at least we burned off all of the calories from the junk we brought with us!

I would definitely return to Carlingford. I had such a good time and it was a really good way to get to know the girls in our year that we may not have really bonded with before!
