I woke up on Tuesday morning and as I was lying in bed still sort of dreamy I realised it was the day of the...... ASHLEY RIVER CHALLENGE. I quickly got ready and about 20 minutes later we were in the car on the way. As we were driving along suddenly mum remembered she had forgot to make us lunch so she dropped us of at the supermarket and she met up with us later at school. When we got there I met up with some friends and we painted orange warrior marks on our faces then we ran back to class and lined up to leave for our trip.

As we were walking along my best friend Kalyn and I were acting like complete nutcases and pointing at things in awww. It was absoulutely hilarious because so many times i ran into fences or tripped over rubbish bins or we were attacked by a menacing branch of doom. Finally after a long and exhuasting trip of being a loon from loonville we arrived and had morning tea, very **Yummy Scrumbo's** **!!**

As we were told what groups we were in and what we were doing I somehow managed to choke on my water and had a** Coughing Fit ** **!!**

We then went off and made our bivvy's which was in a hole in the ground. We were call the __** MANDARINS **__ **!!!!** We then fitted all seven of us in it but it was very very squishy but then if you were freezing it would be rather cosy but lets just say that you might have to get out in a hurry if ther was a sudden rain bacause you would probably **Drown!!!!**

We went to had lunch and we decided to sit on a log. It was rather funny because whenever someone sat on the log the other end would go **UP** !! So sometimes you would get covered in water and other times in your own food ewwwwwww.

We then did **FIRST + AID** with Mrs Monk and we built a stretcher with a few jumpers and two thick sticks. We then carried the person down to the river for river crossing. The person in the stretcher got a few bruises but anyway it moved them from ** Place to Place. ** When we got to the river we learn't about river crossing and it was quite fun but my shoes got soaked.

We headed back to camp found out who won the best bivvy and headed back school. It was great fun on the way back and also the whole day!
