Year 8 Challenge: Tramping the Mikonui

I Woke up not sure what to think I got ready then went down to the school where I had to show Mr S-W Some stuff in my pack then Calder helped me fit my pack. Just after that, we did the roll and then we hit the road down to Mikonui. When we got there we had to wait for the farmer to move his cattle which was like an hour or two. After that we could finally start the tramp its self it was easy at first but then when we got about halfway it started to get really hard I got sore shoulders and sometimes it was just like can we stop.


When we got to the campsite we had to put up the tent my tent group was Me, Isaac K (His Tent) And Cameron. After we had put the tent I had some stuff to eat than me and some other people went into the bush to get some firewood. A lot of the wood was wet because it had been drizzling in the day when we got back from firewood hunting we could go for a swim in the river if we wanted. I couldn't be bothered going for a swim because we just had a massive tramp so I just watched and recorded some jumps for Mr S-W. For Dinner, my food group and I had Sizzlers they were good because I used a roll and made it into a hot dog so that was awesome.


We did a solo it is where we got put in the bush for 20 minutes by our selfs with our torch because it is dark and a book and pencil it was boring (That's what I think anyway) We did some riddling some of them I had no idea what people are talking about I was completely lost. Then it was time to go to sleep I think that I had a pretty good sleep which was a surprise.

For breakfast, my group had pancakes they were a bit hard to cook because the pan we were using had lost it's non-stick that made it so you had to be very careful when you were going to flip the pancake. Overall it was an awesome trip


BRING IT ON!!

Weekly Reflection

This week was a lot different than a normal because as you will know that there was a massive earthquake I woke up just before it started because my dog started barking then it all started the whole house was shaking not long after it started my Mum came in and said it might be time to get up I leaped up and went under the door frame (Yes I know that's a bad place to be) On Monday at school the whole day was about earthquakes. We made Kahoots about it mine was pretty random and weird. Overall, I hope there is not another earthquake like that in my lifetime
