Never did day tours at school but had a few weekends away.
A caravan site near Moville in P7, a hostel in Wicklow in 3rd year at secondary and a weekend in London in 5th year as a responsible adult to help 2 teachers look after 30 first years  |

The lads in the class were acting the maggot so our school tour that year was a walk around the village…best part of it was stopping in at our house for cool pops 
We did bundoran, Louisburg and the crannogs in Clare other years though when they weren’t acting the maggot 
I don’t remember any secondary school tours tbh |

At least Bundoran has a town. Rossnowlagh in 1983 had nothing but rain. |

Belfast Zoo. The most depressing place on the planet. Imagine one day strolling through the Serengeti then waking up on the side of mountain in a Belfast with native children banging sweets off your head. |

Tbh think they were more educational back then.
Now days is aqua parks, sports camps and fun activities..
I think the educational ones were better. Parents probably unlikely to take them to those. |

"We did PGL's in the UK , adventure type thingies. Sailing , cannoe's pony trekking etc.
You must have went to a posh school "
Not at all, think it was pretty standard for all last year primary school kids in the early 80's. |

Saying "on the way down" leaves it open to speculation! |

In primary school we always used to head to Salthill from Mayo for the day to leisure land, the weather was class every year we went and the carnival/fun fair was always there too, some of my best childhood memories are from those trips
Only across the border from us in Mayo so we're going to start taking our kids. |
