High ropes on camp

Mr Creans test piece

Wednesday

Today was a wicked day packed with fun. We started of with the flying fox,  which was wicked. Then it was the high ropes, it was a blast. Michael and I we were really fast on the ropes course. Next up, was rock climbing which really took the energy out of me. I also got the fastest time on the rock wall.    18:87sec. Great day.

Tuesday

Today on camp we got up early for a yummy breakfast and some of us went for a cross country training run. After everyone was finished breakfast we packed our day packs and at 10am we went to Stewartstown to have a tour and get told some old gold stories about some of the miners. After the tour was finished we went back to camp and had lunch. After lunch we got ready for a bike ride down to the old Cromwell.

Mountain biking - We began along the road and crossed the bridge. We all sped down  the huge hills. It was really tough in some parts but the views were worth it. A far few of us were tired at the end of the day but a bracing swim in the Bannockburn schol camp pool helped revive us.

Today on senior room camp we went kayaking,rafting and abseiling in three rotations. It was fun because everyone had a great time. At kayaking the water was super cold and I was first one under. Next was rafting and we had to make our own raft  it was tricky but eventually we kicked it out into the water to see how good our rafts. We didn't sink.

I was nervous about abseiling but I gave it a go and then another. It was really high up and I am afraid of heights. It was exhilarating. I would do it again, no hesitation next time.
