Callaghns ridge

On the 11 of April 2019, Room 1 and Room 8 met in the morning and got into
car groups to leave on a tramp up Callaghans Ridge. The cars drove out of
Greymouth and drove up Callaghans Road. The drivers parked the cars and
we all got out. Soon we were walking up the ridgeline. Luckily when it started
raining we had rain jackets to protect us from the rain. We also had a scavenger
hunt to find birds and plants along the track. One of the birds on the list (a tomtit)
came right up to us just as we started the walk. Before the walk we were given a
number to remember so that the teachers could quickly see that we weren’t lost.
The track was muddy because of the rain and the ground turned to clay. At lunchtime
we stopped under the trees and had to make a shelter. My team (Dakota, Charlie,
Summer, Jackson and Me) tied three ropes holding a tarpaulin on to some trees.
When our shelter was finished we had lunch. After lunch we carried on with the walk.
