Students who are going on the Bronze Gaisce Adventure Challenge on Wednesday please read the following message carefully.
Time of departure: 11.20am so meet in the canteen after break. Be changed into your walking gear for the day and have a day-bag with you that MUST have rain gear, food, drink etc.
Whatever you need for the hostel and walking thursday should go in your overnight bag as the bus will be dropping these to the hostel while we are walking. Bed linen is provided by the hostel but you will need your own towel.
The forecast for Wednesday and Thursday is damp and cold so make sure you have plenty of warm clothing and make sure you have rain gear, hat, gloves. The ground underfoot will be wet in places so old runners/boots that you dont mind getting dirty is advisable. Wellies are not advisable for walking and certainly wont suit wednesdays walking but some people wear them on thursdays walk as you will be in the Poison Glen.
Dinner on wednesday evening will be chicken curry/rice. If you dont like this feel free to take your own food, there is a fully equipped kitchen in the hostel. I will be getting you the necessary food for lunch on thursday and you will make up your lunch on thursday morning.
There is a shop next door to the hostel so bring a small amount of money with you if you wish to go.
Anyone who did cooking/baking as a skill for their award is expected to bring some treats/goodies for wednesday evening to share around.
The signed record sheets for the skill, community and physical activity MUST be handed in to me by next wednesday, may 3rd so I can apply for your medals in time for your graduation ceremony. If there is any problem with this or you have any queries regarding wednesday/thursday please email Mr Walsh tonight.
