Camping Trip
After getting our junior certain results my whole year travelled to Lough Dan for a three day long camping trip.
After we finally got our results we all boarded the buses with overwhelming excitement for the three days to come.
When we reached the campsite we started to put up our tents. This was a difficult task and was a source of great frustration but was also very funny trying to co ordinate 5 teenagers.
We then gathered together and started a six kilometre warmup hike in preparation for a twenty two kilometre trek the next day.
When we arrived back to the site we all gathered around the Bon fire and just chatted for the rest of the night.
The next morning we began the twenty two kilometre hike which was surprisingly not as gruelling as feared. Everyone spent the whole time talking with different people that the might not mix with in school. This was a great experience and I think it brought our year closer together.
We then finished the hike by jumping into the freezing lake which was a welcome refreshment.
We then started up the fire again and began talking the night away once more
