An Xtreme Adventure

Free Fallin'

On Wednesday all the TY's headed to Swords for Xtreme.ie Adventure Centre. It was an amazing day of fun adventure activities. We split up into groups of about 10, put on the safety gear and off we went. First thing we did was a Free Fall Bungee Jump kind of thing. I'd say it was about 30 foot in the air and all we had to do was step off this podium and fall. Sounds easy but it was shit scary!! My heart literally dropped as soon as I stepped off this thing. It was so much fun though. Most people landed on their behinds but it looked really cool landing on your feet, like in a spy movie or something haha.

Climbing to the
Top of the World 

Next we went climbing. There were four walls which we were climbing on, each of us got to climb on the three walls if we wanted to. Once at the top we got to abseil back down so that was like two activities in one.








We then got to be like Katniss Everdeen The Girl on Fire with our bow and arrows while doing

Warriors in the Field 

archery. We each got two practice shots and Lucy was like a natural, plus with a braid like Katniss. I think we've found her!! We were like warriors in two groups fighting against each other to get the highest score in the little competition we had. Unfortunately my group lost, 145 to 138 or something like that.



There were obstacles courses on three different levels that we did too, only we did the top two levels. Starting with the top level we went around one by one over the obstacles. The last obstacle was a leap-of-faith. Next we went onto the second level which was a little more difficult, the obstacles I mean. However some of us little rebels here went upstairs and joined the line for the Zip Line! I was one of those "rebels" who went on the Zip Line, it was really fun one of the best things we did all day, a great way to end the adventures.

Looking down the line

After all of our adventures in Xtreme we went to Liffey Valley on our last shopping adventure of the TY Year. We got food and even had time to look around the shops. All in all it was a brill day out with our friends and a great trip to end the year.
