Ty Lough Dan Camping Trip
cdOn Wednesday the 13th , I received my Junior cert results in school. I had packed my camping gear to go camping with my year. I was staying in a tent with Michael, Tadhg and Oscar. I brought up my tent and camping stove with some other essentials for the camping trip. After I got my results, I got on to a bus and went to Lough Dan. I had been camping before so we set up the tent together quickly and put our bags in it.we organised to bring up the equipment and and the food between each other. I was in charge of the tent and stove while Michael and Tadhg brought up all of the food. I also brought up chocolate and crisps. We agreed to bring our own sleeping bags. After we set up, we went on a 5km hike up to the lake. When we returned, Michael and I cooked burgers and made a cup of tea.Tadhg and Oscar brought up loads of sweets and chocolate for us to eat. In the afternoon, it rained heavily and some tents got flooded but my tent had a raised door and a unremovable floor so my tent did not flood
On Thursday, we went on a hike around Lough Dan which was about 17km long. The views were really impressive and spectacular. We saw our campsite from the other side of the lake. After the walk, we went for a swim. The water was really refreshing and cool after the long hike. It only rained once on the walk which was really good as it meant that no one got really wet. We stopped for lunch on a beach on the lake which was really nice as you could see the whole way down the lake. On both night, we lit a fire on the campsite to keep us warm. There was a indoor area which you could use to play cards or other games.
The campign trip was really good fun in my opinion. The atmosphere was always happy and it was really enjoyable
