TY Hike Season Kicks Off


Last Saturday, the 15th of September, was the first of our Transition Year hikes with Mr. Coldrick. Ally Boyd Crotty tells all.

All the girls from Hollypark house, along with a few boys from Glen house hiked together with Mr. Coldrick and his daughter up Kilmashogue, behind our school gates. The hike took us about two and a half hours up, and we stopped at the top to admire the beautiful views of the countryside and Dublin city. The weather wasn't great but the rain thankfully held off until we got back to school. 

As we began our descent, we received a call telling us that three of our hikers had "taken the road less travelled" on their way up. While Mr. Coldrick went to redirect the unfortunate three, the rest of us began the much more enjoyable walk (or for some run) downwards, taking about an hour. The hike was great fun and I think we will all definitely take part in another one very soon.
