STMC TY Dublin City Scavenger Hunt

An Urban Orienteering Competition to win a one day supervised city break in the last school term 2018 (date TBC)

The competition involves orienteering the city in a team of 4 TYs to visit 25 Dublin popular tourist/historical/cultural sights. TYs are only allowed travel by foot, bike or public transport (taxi or car is not permitted). This is a great opportunity to get to know the city a little better.

The competition will begin this Friday and will continue over the coming week. The first team to complete/reach all of these sights/sites will win a place on the city break.

The instructions will be staggered over the course of the coming weekend/week (ie Names and locations will be released over the course of a few days so as to avoid a clash with extra curricular activities for some TYs).

Sites will include:

Teddy's Ice Cream, Dun Laoghaire
The Natural History Museum, Merrion Sq
Sandymount Green
Bunsen Burger, Aungier St or Temple Bar
The South Wall Light House, Ringsend
Merrion Square
Whitefriar Church, Aungier St
Chester Beatty Library, Dublin Castle
Garden of Remembrance, Parnell Sq
Moore St Fruit Market
Italian Quarter, Lwr Ormond Quay
