Callaghan's Ridge

On the 11th of April 2019 Rooms 1 and 8, Mrs Truman, Ms Kemp and 9 other adults walked Callaghan's Ridge. It took us four and a half hours. On the track we budded up and did a scavenger hunt. I did the scavenger hunt with Dakota and Rebekah. We found everything in the end. We also found a kea but it wasn't on the list. Some of the things we found were: A sand fly, a blue mushroom, a cute tomtit and bracket fungi.

When we started the track it rained for a few minutes then started to rain lightly for a bit. When we got to the lunch spot we got into our afternoon groups (I was with Lily and Eamon) and built a bivouac to eat our lunch under. To make our bivouac we hung the tarp of a leaning  tree then tied our rope to four small flaking trees. When everyone had finished lunch we packed up our bivouacs and kept walking. The track was muddy in most places and where it was muddy it was really slippery. We had to watch our step otherwise we would trip over.Quite a few people fell over.  

 One thing I liked about walking Callaghan's Ridge was that we got a day off school doing something I enjoy. i also liked that it didn't rain the whole time. Next time we could try build our shelter with what was around us. I thought Callaghan Ridge was fun and I can't wait to do our next activity.
