The whole TY experience really began for me when we went to Carlingford for our TY Carlingford trip. We left very early on Monday morning and when we got there we we got ready to start our activities :)
Our first activity was a challenge course, where we got to decide what challenges we wanted to complete. The best one in my opinion was the Communication Breakdown. In this challenge we were put into a maze in a storage container, we had to go in one way and crawl around 3 different levels to try and get back out again. At some stages in the container we had to stop and try to figure out how to get out, it took us a while since in was pitch black inside and you were always bumping your head of the ceiling.
Later on in the day we went down to do some canoeing in the sea, it was really fun, we tied 3 canoes together and got in the sea with them. When we finished with canoes everyone decided to jump of the pier into the water :) It was so much fun.
When we got back from canoeing etc we had lunch and we out again for a hike in the mountains. The hike up the mountains was very tiring but luckily for us the hike didn't last that long. When we were walking back there was a tunnel running through the village and you were able to go inside the tunnel and walk to the end of it. Everyone was pretty excited to do it, but none of us realised how dark and tight space it would be. As we were walking through the tunnel the water started to get deeper and it became darker. But I really enjoyed the tunnel it was really fun for me anyways :L
After we got back from the hike and walking through the tunnel a bunch of us walked down to the Chinese to get some dinner :) It tasted so good and was so nice to have something hot to eat.
Later on we all decided to go to sleep since we were all wrecked from all the activities.
The next morning we were up early and packing as soon as we were up since there was another school arriving. Later on in the day we all went of to do another hike up the mountains except this hike took 3 hours and everyone was tired and hungry :L But when we came back from the hike our bus was there and we arrived home soon enough.
Overall it was a good trip and I enjoyed it very much, I think it helped people get to know others better :)
