Last Monday, Outram School Year 4 students went on an exciting adventurous tramp. The tramp was the first of our Tirohanga Camp activities.
We travelled in cars in convoy to get to the start of the Whare Flat tramp. After walking for five minutes up a dirt road we came to a sign that said "track". We walked for two or three minutes before we came to a creek. We walked across the creek holding onto a wire. Some people got wet feet, some people fell in!
Next we headed up a muddy track. After about twenty minutes we stopped at the top of the hill in a pine forest, to have a late morning tea. Then we started to go downhill and across a ridge line. We passed a hut, and followed the water race for a long time before we came to another creek. We crossed the rippling fresh creek on stones and pulled ourselves up a muddy slippery slope with a rope.
We followed Mrs Lord and Alex P along the track until we came to a crossroad in the track where we had to head downhill. At the bottom of the hill we found a clearing with a swing bridge, we had lunch before we crossed the bridge.
After crossing the swaying swing bridge we came to a ford. We all got wet feet walking through the ch-ch-ch-ch-chilly water. At long last we saw the cars.
What a mintage adventure!
