TY Howth Trip

Some of us got the great opportunity to join Ms. Lafferty’s geography class on a hike around Howth.

We left after little break, at 11am, and the weather was just lovely. The sun was out all day and it really made a good walk even better.

We  started off at Howth train station and Ms. Lafferty warned that it was all uphill from here! She wasn’t joking... the hike started off on a steep uphill walk and some of us were already out of breath. Little did we know the hike hadn’t even start yet, we were only just beginning the walk to the summit.

We passed some very big houses and I enjoyed seeing what they all looked like, I wouldn’t mind living there one day. We finally got to the summit and we had a pit stop, ate lunch and once fuelled up with food we got ready to start the real hike. All our Hoods went up so the wind wouldn’t mess with our hair (very important) and we set off

To be honest I thought it would have been steeper but it was a good walk, a little rocky but nothing too bad. We all took loads of photos of the great views around us and selfies with our friends, and the media team made loads of posts and tiktoks. The sun was still beaming, leaving some of us all a little sunburned at the end, but it was worth it All of us enjoyed some great laughs on the walk but near the end we were so tired of walking! Ms. Lafferty had mercy on us and allowed us to head ‘home’ at 2:40 Some of the girls went to Póg, got food, sat on the grass and recouped. This was a perfect end to the day!

Overall it was such an enjoyable day out to Howth, all of us had great fun. Thank you to Ms.Lafferty for organising this lovely day.
