Lake Daniell Day Tramp

Lake Daniell Day Tramp

For William Pike Room 1 and Room 8 and some
parents and teachers went to Lake Daniells
for a tramp. When we went there we thought
we would get hypothermia but it wasn’t even
cold when we started walking. We also went
there to learn a bit about the area.

We went for the walk on the 12th of June
2019. The drive there was 1 hour and a half
but we stopped at Reefton and found bigfoot
in our imagination. It was in the morning that
we went and I went with Daniel’s dad in the
car with Daniel, Rhys and me.

Lake Daniells is on the Lewis Pass which
keeps going to Christchurch. We also went
to the Reefton for a toilet break. At the
place where the Lake Daniells tramp starts
it is also called marble hill and there was a
wall at the fault line which was meant to see
if it moved in an earthquake.

What we did is we went to the start of the
tramp and we did the call with numbers. Then
we started walking and we had breaks about
every 30 minutes. On the way back, some
people were carrying logs and they chucked
them in the river for a tribal ceremony.
Some people were doing a dance as well.

How we got to Lake Daniells is we all went
in cars that we were assigned with at school.
Also the teachers traveled and parents
came that were from our school.

I really liked the whole walk and it was fun
to walk with my friends. It was a bit hard
because it was quite long but overall I really
enjoyed it. Maybe we could do it again but
go in the summer so we can go swimming in
the lake.
