On Monday the 21st, I woke up excited and enthusiastic to go tramping at Mikonui flats. Travelling to school felt like it took forever.
Sleeping in a 4 person tent with 5 people was the most awkward sleep ever. As we were all got crushed, and apparently I was kneeing Hannah's ribcage. And I was also apparently humming in the middle of the night.
A couple of years ago on a tramp, somebody put what's called "THE STONE" in my teachers pack. "The stone" is a medium weight stone that has been painted green. On the tramp this year I was the unlucky camper. Just before we were about to leave the carpark, Mr S-W came up to me and said "I'm just doing a pack check." I found this a little strange as he had checked nobody else's pack. As we walked to the campsite I thought I felt lopsided in my pack but chose to ignore it. Towards the end of the day, I was unpacking my pack when I came across "THE STONE." I was a little annoyed but mostly surprised he snuck it into my pack.
One of my favourite parts of the trip would be when I ignored
the brain freezing water and jumped off a rock. It wasn't that high but it was still nerve-racking to jump off, especially to dive. I was so scared I was going to bellyflop into the water, but apparently, I was graceful and I just slipped into the water.
Another highlight of the tramp would be river crossing. We crossed the Tuke river. It was surprisingly deep, but i had no worries as we crossed in groups. I can't wait for my next challenge!
BRING IT ON!!!
