Friday the 13th May brought nothing but blue skies and bright smiles to our first year students who enjoyed a geography trip to the Ailwee Caves and the Burren National Park. We set off bright and early and enjoyed the scenic route to the caves where students saw months of study come to life. Students enjoyed the stalagmites and stalactites and impressed the tour guide with their knowledge. We were then treated to a fantastic birds of prey show where some students even got to hold falcons and owls while other enjoyed the sunshine. We finished our trip with a stop in the Burren itself where we examined the clints, the grikes and the landscape Along the route we saw river features such as meanders, levees and the day was topped off with beautiful sunshine from dawn until dusk.
