DOnard Climb

Many of our Y10 and Y11 rugby players climbed Slieve Donard today as part of their fundraising efforts for the rugby trip to South Africa next summer.

The group, ably led by Alistair Johnston, made great time as they ascended the highest mountain in Northern Ireland. The group travelled via the Glen River route, up through Donard Wood and turned left when they reached the Mourne Wall. The steep terrain didn't hinder the boys progress although some of the staff started to feel their age!

The group reached the summit in about 2 hours and then had a break for lunch at the top. Then it was a few pictures before the trek down again.

Everyone had a great day and enjoyed the wonderful views in glorious sunshine.
