Gaisce Hike

This weekend myself and 13 other girls from school went on a Hike in the Wicklow mountains for Gaisce :) We had to hike 25km over 2 days, so we stayed over night in a youth hostel. The hostel was lovely and the rooms even had an upstairs :D We arrived on friday and dropped our bags into our rooms, then we went for our hike with an instructor. We did 10km uphill, and another 10km down within 3 hours. I thought it was going to be really hard, but we were surprisingly fast and most of the hard work was done in the first day :D
We got back to the hostel, and then we made our own dinner in the kitchens provided. We watched a movie in the tv room, and then we went to bed because we were all wrecked! :L
The next day we were up early and we went orienteering to make up our final 5km. We were divided into two teams and there was some friendly competition as to who would finish first, my team did of course ;) After that we did archery and 'low ropes' which are lots of tight ropes you have to walk across. Then we did some team games and after that we got the bus home! It was a really enjoyable weekend! like a mini carlingford :D
