Lost In The Forest.

At 2:00pm on day two of camp in Hanmer, group D did Orienteering.

First, the leader, Heather gave us a map, a compass, a pencil and paper and if we needed it, a stop watch. Next we learnt how to read the map and how to use the compass. We had ninety minutes to find all the markers [controls] and the most points you could get was 600. Unfortunately,my team split up,so it was only me and Rachel. We met Rachel's dad on the way so he came with us right to the end.

When we got back,we found out that we had come 2nd with 520!!!!! WOW!!!!!!! I never thought we would get anywhere near 1st!!!!!!

ORIENTEERING!

On the 3rd of March group D & B went ORIENTEERING in the forest.

Fist Heather gave us Maps, compasses and stopwatches.
We were a bit scared that we would get lost but luckily we didn't.
On the walk we had to look for controls hanging from trees. We had 90 minutes to find all the controls. When we got to the end 5 seconds left so we had to sprint, but my shoe fell off so i had to put it back on. Luckily we made it. Heather showed us the score, and we got second to last, but some cookies cheered us up. The orienteering wasn't my favourite thing, but it was alright.
