Carlingford :D

Where do i start! our bonding trip started in what felt like the middle of the nite last monday morning at 6am... all the TY's met at the garage near our school at 7 to head off on our trip... everyone arrived with their bags and bags of gear, and still half asleep. for the two day trip.... despite the tiredmess, everyone was in great form and excited for the two days to come.. we headed off and arrived in carlingford for 9am... before we knew it we were on a treck to the challenge course for some team work.. here we did lots of tasks to build our teamwork skills in groups... after a few hours here we headed back for lunch before my favourite part of the trip, the laser tag.... we all dressed in army suites and headed up a massive hill (worst part of trip) before FINALLY reaching the forest where the laser course... we were split into two teams and had to fight against eachother... the course had hideouts everywhere and everyone took the game very seriously and did their very best to win!
that night after dinner, when it was starting to get dark we were brought back up the mountain into the forest where we were blindfolded and had to hold on to the persons shoulder infront of us to find our way out.. we all had such a laugh but were very glad to get home in one piece!we then all sat around the fire with another school we met and sang some songs and chatted to eachother before being told to go to bed by a rap from ms leahy.... the next morning we woke early and geaded off for more activites... it started with  orientering which was my least favourite part of the trip because we ended up getting lost at the top of a mountain.... after lunch we did rock climbing which was great fun... before we knew it, it was time to go home... we were all exhausted from our hectic two days and we were all glad to see our beds that nite!

overall it was a brilliant two days away and a great start to TY!
