We went mounting biking at Hanmer Springs on Monday. It was Steve Brodie that took us mountain biking and rock climbing. We did mountain biking first. We all biked in Hanmer Forest. The weather was cold and wet. The trails were muddy, narrow and rough. When we started it was easy and it was fun. I was tired and at the end I was cold. The worst thing was having no gloves to wear so my hands were cold. It was fun going through the puddles and getting wet. The best thing was going to the hot pools afterwards.

Rock Climbing
By Glenn

I went rock climbing on Tuesday afternoon. Steve was our rock climbing instructor. First I listened to Steve and got my gear on. There was a two-rope setup. You need a harness, carabiner and a helmet. The hardest thing was to get my foot in place. The best thing was it was my first time. I didn't reach the top. When I wasn't climbing I helped belaying the rope. I would like to do more with my mum, dad and sister one day.

Orienteering

We did orienteering Tuesday morning. Lynne Brodie was our instructor. First we discussed how to make the groups. Then we looked at the map. We went to Hanmer Forest for orienteering. We used a pencil, map and a square piece of paper. John, Chris, Gordon and Alan were in my group. We had to look for bottles that had numbers on them. We found all he markers except two. Alan won the prize for finding the most markers. I liked the peace and quiet and I liked the smell of the forest.
