Hey Nomad
Last weekend 33 transition years set out to Kippure Lodge to complete our 25km hike.Our preparation started on Thursday when we went to Tesco to buy our feast fit for kings, safe to say we were in our element.Birdseye chicken dippers and chilli heatwave Doritos in hand we set out on Friday for Wicklow. We arrived at around half 4, geared up and set out for the first half of what seemed our never ending hike.Hiking through bogs and all sorts of mountainous terrain, wise words of skelly, respect. Until we reached a historical tomb, which being typical tys, turned into an opportunity for a photo shoot.Feeling proud we had finally reached the top, we soon realised we had to slide down, falling numerous times. That night was one of the best nights so far this year.Sharing a house with 10 girls with no teachers, rebels whaa?, we headed straight to the fridge and never left all night. Then it was time for the all time best, hsm 2! The next day we were woken at 7:30 and headed out on the second half of our hike. With only 2 hours of sleep had, we quickly got ready but of course left time to eat. The second day of hiking was alot easier than the first as the route wasn't as steep. Being the classy women we are, we took advantage of the muck and streams and ended up bog hopping and spreading muck all over our faces while eating our much loved Dorito sandwiches. As our hike ended, we were all so proud that we had completed our task and that we did it as a group. Next on the list to do was high ropes.This was by far one of the best things I've done so far as i have no fear of heights at all. Altogether we did rock climbing, beam balancing, abseiling but my fav ever was the leap of faith. Basically we had to climb a narrow pole the size of a two story house and stand on top and get your balance with the wind blowing you all directions. Then on the count of three you leap off and try to catch a metal bar leaving you swinging in mid air, boo yeaah. Overall the weekend was tiring but so worth it as I felt it was one of the best experiences of Ty
