CAMPING TRIP To celebrate our Junior Cert results we travelled to Lough Dan on a camping trip. Here I will share a few pictures with you and tell you all about my experienece camping. What were my roles in my tent? Alex, Abbie, Amy and Molly were in my tent. We decided each of us would pick a meal and provide the ingredients and prepare and cook the meal. The meal I was given was lunch, I brought ham and turkey to put in the bread we were provided with. As my meal did not take long to prepare I also volunteered to cook breakfast for us, we had sausages and beans although that was not a success because I undercooked them! What is my favourite memory from the trip? My favourite memory from the trip has to be sitting around the campfire making smores and listening to music with my peers. Not only because it kept us warm from the freezing cold but also because I feel during the evenings is when we really bonded. What did I learn about myself during the trip? Throughout the trip I learnt lots about myself that I had never realised before. I realised when you work as team you can achieve much more then you could alone. The moment I realised this was when myself and the girls were trying to assemble our tent, if it wasn't for those four girls I think I would still be trying to get it up! Another thing I learnt about myself is that I"m a very clumsy person as I managed to fall five times and I came home with bruises from head to toe. The last thing I learnt about myself is that I enjoy home comforts and I tend to take them for granted. If I were to do the trip again what would I do different? If I were to do the trip again I would definitely bring more layers as I was freezing at night time. I would also bring more changes of cloths as I got wet on many occasions. Other then that I wouldn't have changed a thing as I loved the group of teachers and students that went on the trip. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would absolutely go again!
AS GAELGE Chuamar ag campáil ar lá de torthaí na scrúdaithe. D'eírigh go h-an mhaith leis an mbliain su Teastas Shoisearach agus bhí aoibh mhaith ar ghach duine. Phacálamar ár málaí le eadaí teolaíagus bia deas agus ar aghaidh linn go dtí an ionad campála i slei3bhte Cill Mhantaín. Bhí sé dúsh lánach an poball a chuí suas ach d;eírigh inn ag an deireadh. Chuamar ar sucloíd fada ar an gceád lá. Nuair a d'fhilleamar ar ais , Rinnemar marshmallows thar an tine campála. Bhí BBQ againn agus bhíomar ag canadh agus ag roint scéalta timpeall an tine cámpala. Ní raibh mé ag campaíl cheanna agus thaitin sé go mór liom. Ba thaithí fiúntach é.
