The Carlingford adventures of Rambo and Pdogg

Hi
All summer we have been looking forward to starting T.y but one of the most exciting parts of T.y is going to carlingford in co. Louth :) Words could not come to mind how excited we were... we brought more food then clothes ! I taught waking up at 5:45 in the morning would be an impossible challenge but it was really trying to fall asleep that was the hard part! After 2 hours of messing on a double Decker bus we finally arrived in carlingford and we were not alone there was also a boy’s school staying in the adventure centre.
The best part of the first day was playing Laser Tag! We all had guns with names and mine was Rambo ha-ha running trough the forest trying to kill each other was defiantly a good way of bonding. After laser tag we played  team challenges to build our trust ... we were blind folded and one girl had to  guild us like sheep into a corral with out talking or moving, I unfortunately ended up walking straight into a fence  but everyone was in stitches laughing so I guess  it made us closer haha. Laser tag and challenge games made a person really Hungary I don’t think I ate a dinner so fast in my life. After dinner the place turned into a jungle as we were given our rooms. everyone was rushing to stay with their friends in the limited 10 and 12 bedrooms but to our luck my friends and I ended up getting our own house with Ms.o'C :)  that night we had a singing competition with the guys school, I think its safe to say the girls are more musically talented !
After sleeping like a log in our cosy house the next day we started with rock climbing and absailing it was soo fun. For a bit more of a challenge we decided to climb up the wall  blind folded it actualy made it alot easier to climb! the absailing was a bit scarey going over the edge at the start but once we got going i felt like i was a spy climbing down the a cliff. oringtearing was next on our list after the strenght used to climb the massive mountain for oriantearing  we got off to a great start :) we got really hyper and started running up and down the side of a mountain. we even had a speacialy word to say when we found the letters everyone was so confused when 4 girls were going arounf with a mao shouting ELEPHANT ! oh my god at one point we nearly wet ourselfs laughing, one of the letters was on the back of this masive bolder and i had to run up and get it but i wasnt alone... a giant ram was waiting on the other side !! nearly running head first into his horns i got the letter and dashed back to the girls. he became our fluffy best friend. getting broed with the sheep on the mountain we decided to start singing while leapracon hunting ! i was great craic  but we eventualy finished the course and had to make our way back to the centre and oack for home.
we were wrecked on the way home and we all fell asleep ! but i will never forget our amazing time at carlingford ! a speacial y qutoe for meg's me ... I CAT EAT BANANAS UNLESS THEY SMELL NICE :P
