Weeks before the camping trip I had already prepared my tent,clothes and food for the two nights and three days I would be spending in Lough Dan
On Wednesday morning,after much anticipation I was overwhelmingly happy after receiving my junior certain results.
Later on we boarded the bus and headed past the Wicklow mountains to Lough Dan.
As part of the Gerards tradition we were to do a twenty-three kilometre hike which could be used for the adventure aspect of our Gaisce bronze award.
When we reached the campsite there was some strong wind which made the assembling of our tents more difficult,we did manage to have all our tents put up at midday before the rain.Unfortunatly during our duration in Lough Dan it rained a lot on our hikes and at night,some tents were even blown over in the middle of the night

I felt I learnt a lot during the camping trip ,at night I cooked my own food using a gas cooker ,which I had never done before .I took responsibility In making a safe fire and helped with collecting materials to keep it alight .
The one thing I didn't like about the camping trip was the weather ,as well as the rain it was very windy at night which meant it was quite loud ,because we were in a valley it was freezing at night also .
Other than that it was a very enjoyable experience and I would defiantly recommend this trip to next years fourth years as it is great fun

As gaeilge
Chuamar ag campáil ar lá de torthaí na scrúdaithe D'éirigh go h-an mhaith leis an mbliain sa Teastas Sóisearach Agus bhí aoibh mhaith ar Bach duine
Phacálamar ár málaí le eadaí teolaí Agus bía deas Agus ar aghaidh linn go dtí an ionad campála I shléibhte Cill Mhantáin Glenn Maolúra
Bhí sé dúshlánach an poball a chuí Suas ach d'éirigh linn ag an deireadh
Chuamar ar súiloíd Fada ar an gcéad lá Nuair a d'fhilleamar ar ais, Rinneamar marshmellows thar an tine campála
Ar an dara lá Chuamar ag sléibhteoireach Agus ag snamh
Bhí BBQ againn Agus bhíomar ag Cannadh agus ag roinnt scéalta timpeall an tine campála
Ní Raibh mé ag campáil cheanna Agus thaitin sé go mór liom
Ba thaithí fuíntach é.
