Callaghans Ridge

Callaghans Ridge

On Thursday room one and eight went to Callaghans Ridge for the
William Pike Challenge. We did a scavenger hunt to find native
things. Some things we found were South Island fantails, miromiro
(tomtits) and some solid bracket fungi. Also we had to look for
other things as well.

The conditions on the day was raining and damp. Also it was sunny
at some bits. The conditions didn’t really affect the walk because
we all had rain jackets and wet weather gear.

Also we made bivvys at lunch time to eat our lunch in. All the
groups had to only use a blue tarpaulin and a long yellow rope. My
group made a small bivvy next to a bank and we got a lolly frog.
The bivvys made us work well as a team.

I really enjoyed the whole walk but my most favourite thing was
sprinting furiously to the end. I was a very speedy ginger ninja!
I was the first one to make it to the end.

A suggestion for another outdoor activity is we could do another
beach cookout because that was really fun.
