Just recently the whole year went to a place called Carlingford. It is an adventure park. We had to wake up at 7:00 for the bus, that was early, i jumped onto the smaller bus, it was long but good because we had loads of time to talk to, my friends and I. When arrived we were assigned are rooms, then we all got are runners on and headed down to the pier, where we were told to put on wet suits. We were split into groups and are group went on the Canadian boat ride first. It was funny because the instructor was saying hurry up all the time, it was tiring. when arrived at the shore the instructor Teddy told us a story about if you go under this well you would live an extra day. when arrived in the cave it was cold and there was a big step, and we were in line to get to a seat, when i got to the seat a foot grabbed me while water was being poured over me, it was funny.
when came out of the cave we saw a dead jellyfish, it was cool to see one on the shore.

When arrived back to the pier we got dressed and went down to the canteen and had lunch.
After lunch we headed up a hill to get up to are destination, I was 1st up with my friends and we became last, we are really slow,
When arrived there we thought that we were going to do climbing thing above the ground, when we did loads of challenges as a team,
one of them was the worst because we were in the complete darkness, we couldn't see a thing it was scary, also we were crawling, so it was sore after a while, only 4 people made it to the end I was 1 of those people, that challenge was called "Challenge Breakdown" because your working as a team and your shouting at one another.

Once again we had to climb up that big hill it made me tired and we were last up the hill again. Lol. When got up we were handed blind folds. When we were in a line and had one hand on the other person shoulder, we were told to put on are blindfolds. It was fun and sore because people had to  hold onto your shoulder and if they were slow, they would be pulling on your shoulder and it was sore afterwards.when we were walking the instructors would put things in are faces, it wasn't a nice experience. when we were told to walk back down, we walked back down the scenic root, it was pretty the water.
When walking back there was a new group coming and they were blindfolded also and we decieded to scare them, they screamed. it was funny.
Then went to bed.

The next morning, we were called down to the pier, where we were going to canoeing, it was fun. The waves were a bit rough.We went to a shore were we played a game, then we went on a fast boat to a trampoline that was on the water. It was fun, when on the trampoline you would slip very easily. Then the man told us to jump off, it was quite scary because he said if you don't jump he would push us off.

When came back we went Laser tagging. It was really fun because we had to shoot the other team. I was killed quite a few times. We also played capture the flag, are team lost. :(
The guns were quite heavy so after a while your hands were tired from carrying it.

I had an amazing time in Carlingford.
