Tomorrow sees the first of a few scheduled 'whole form' hikes. All TY should be participating unless otherwise arranged and pupils are reminded that any physical activity of this nature counts towards their Columban award scheme.
We are blessed to live at the foot of the ancient Dublin hills and no doubt we all too often take our location for granted. Walks like these help to recapture that sense of gratitude. By the way we must also give thanks for TY staff team member Mr. Noel Coldrick who is co-ordinating tomorrow's outing; he is vastly experienced as a walker in these hills (and far beyond) and he is willing to supervise and help to organise all manner of hikes if there is a desire to do so coming from the TY pupil body. For instance last year eight TY-ers walked c.60 miles of the Wicklow Way, mostly to raise money for Habitat for Humanity.
We will assemble at 2 p.m. tomorrow and after that NC is in charge but I think we'll walk a part of the Wicklow Way and visit Fairy Castle, Three Rock and come back down in a loop from Ticknock to Kilmashogue...but you never know!
