william pike hogs back walk
I woke up in the room we were put in our logde, the others were still asleep so i tried to be quiet but i ended up waking them up anyway because we had to have breakfast we had scrambled eggs or weet bix i had both because I was feeling hungry, after that, we had to bring our lunch boxes out to pack our lunch there were buns with ham, cheese lettuce and mayonnaise, I went and put my lunch, box and pack it in my bag ready for the walk, then we packed our bags and put them in the cars ready to go home after the walk, we had to drive to the walk because it was like 5kms drive, but when we got to the start of the track we got our day packs out and off we went, we started by climbing up a not too big of a hill to the top. when we got to the top we realized we left the teacher behind so we stopped and had a snack waiting for the teacher to catch up, I had scroggen in my bag so I shared it a round to all my friends, then we started walking again with out our teacher but one of the adults walked slowley behind us waiting for the teacher, then we had to walk down the step windey bit on the track, when we got to the bottom we stopped by then the teacher had caught up to us, then we all got maps and you had to buddy up with some one, i buddied up with Rhys and Archie we had to find where we were after about five minutes, we found it on the map, then we starting walking again, then we came across a small stream I could fill my bottle up in it, then when we got across our teacher made us sit by our selves for ten minutes to think what we have done and accomplished, then we made one more stretch to the end, me and the boys were dying because of the 3-hour walk, we finally finished.

I was fast asleep until I heard footsteps come into my room, and in a loud voice called my name “Cooper” “Cooper” wake up we have to get you to school for your cave stream camp. I got up in a loud moaning voice, I didn't want to get up but I did anyway I got dressed and had breakfast then I packed my day bag then I put my bags in the car and we headed down to the school. When I got there there was not many people there, so I got out of the car to see which car I was getting into, I was getting in Brayden dads car with Brayden and Archie and then we took off, after about ten minutes we were bored so we played eye spy for the most of the way, then we arrived
I wasn't feeling too worried but we had lunch, then the time came we got suited up we all gathered to have a small briefing, after that, we had to walk down this small hill and into the stream then we walked the stream bed up to the cave. I was feeling a little scared because I didn't like caves we took a group photo then we went in, it was a little chilly at the start but it wasn't too bad the first five minutes it was just windy then we stopped a third of the way, then our teacher said to turn your torches off it was pitch black, like pitch black it was darker than anything I have witnessed before, then we turned our torches back on. Me and Liam were talking for a bit, then we came to a little waterfall we had to climb up it, it wasn’t too bad I just could not see what to grab onto then about another ten minutes later we had to duck under a rock with water coming at you, then we got to the end there was a bit off a ladder that you had to crawl under a big rock and crawl about five meters with the ledge on the other side of you so you had to hold on to the chain that was there so you didn’t slip in or fall in, I was finally out, I had made it through cave stream me and a couple of friends walked upstream a bit to come across a small, not to deep swimming hole, we sat there and had a little talk to everybody then headed back to the cars and got dressed.
