Abi Grainger (TY) reveals what it was like on the TY Delphi trip in mid-September
We went to Delphi during September and this is where we received our Junior Certificate results. We enjoyed the experience but were a little disappointed by the fact that we were unable to do any water sports because of high winds. We did enjoy all of our other activities, the most interesting being the gorge walk which involved climbing up a mountain whilst being in a small river in a wetsuit. Every night we watched a film which for the few who didn't fall asleep was also a good part of the day. (Click on thumbnail to open an enlarged version of photo.)

This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
