Fridays are looking good!

The next two Fridays are definatly going to be exciting ones!

This Friday we are heading off to the National Aquatic Centre for the Ian Daly Swim A Mile With A Smile. It is a great charity set up by Eimear D's family and is for an amazing cause. Every year since the charity has been set up I have swam a mile to try and help out, this year I will be doing the same along with many of the year!
Everybody should check out the charity and do their bit. Everything from swimming 1 Lent to 64 Lents makes a difference.

The following Friday we are going to Wicklow for our Gaisce hike.
Gaisce is a president's award and this year many of us will be getting the bronze award after completing the hike. We had to also complete 13 weeks of either a community service, a personal skill and a sport and 26 weeks of one of these.
I decided to do homework club in our school, cooking at home and hockey for my three Gaisce events.

For the hike it will be a 25 km hike through the Wicklow mountains on Friday evening. Friday night we will spend in houses in the hostel. We have to bring our own food and cook in groups which will be pretty fun. I think there will be a lot of packets of noodles that night! It is looking to be a very exciting night and then the following morning we will be doing high ropes! I know I cannot wait.
