Carlingford

On monday morning all us girls gathered at our bus stop at the crazy hour of 7 in the morning. Most of the girls were like zombies (myself included because for some reason I had decided to get up at 5 for a shower :L) . We were going away for two days and yet most girls had massive suitcases or at least two bags, i was just proud of myself for only bringing 5 pairs of shoes :P
We arrived there at about 9 and almost immediatley we were brought on our first activity. My group went on the high ropes first and it was definatley one of the most terrifying experiences of my life...but also my most enjoyable :D The high ropes consisted of 3 different courses, one of them was a pole (about 60 feet high) that you had to climb up and then stand with 3 other girls on a small square platform on top while leaning backwards and holding on to each other. Myself and the 3 other girls with me stood trembeling and clutching on to each other for dear life, and if that wasn't bonding I don't know what is :P
We also went kayacking and pier jumping that day, and in the evening we had a traumatising experience of hiking up a mountain in the dark with the pelting rain!
The next day we did some orienteering and archery, and some group challenges. We packed our bags and left at about 5. The bus ride back home was a big contrast to the excited and hyper atmosphere present on the way to carlingford, instead half the girls were asleep exhausted from the trip :P Definatley a trip worth remembering! :)
