Camp Journal - Cork, Ireland

Horseback riding in the beach and Kangaroo court ... 

followed by an evening of pizza and irish dancing.

The sun is back and it got to 20 degrees today……yippee……David can finally take off his fleece sweater!

A big day for the riders……..their excursion to the beach on horseback and a chance to ride by the ocean's edge….look how beautiful the beach is in our photos today! And the stable dog joined us too! After lunch in a local café our riders returned to the stables happy and excited to have ridden along the sand and water's edge. Back once more at the end of next week and we hope the weather will be as good…

The golfers also enjoyed a hot lunch in the club house and a chance to catch up with events at the Open on TV. A few holes in the afternoon in very little wind made life a bit easier!

Three unlucky campers went on trial at the Kangaroo Court and as usual were found guilty and had to dance in front of the group…take a look at the photos!

For the rest of the afternoon a small group went back for a 2nd Pilates/Yoga session with a great local teacher while the others painted murals on board of golf, riding and a castle….

Tonight we all had pizzas and fruit and then left for the Firkin Crane Theatre for a TRAD Irish Night with music and dance. As the floor was open with no seats the group were able to learn and try various Irish dances in pairs and large circles. A good time for all with a little more activity to tire them out.

Prepare for another excursion day tomorrow after an 08.30 special Irish Breakfast!
