Sore and tired! I was not ready that day today. I was super tired from a late night
and I really did not want to walk up a mountain, but I knew I had to I got up and
I looked like the walking dead so I gave my self a quick face mask and also a face scrub
and i felt much fresher. after I had freshened up I went and have breakfast I did not
feel like it and I thought I was going to be sick but turns out you feel much better
after some food even though I knew I get car sick and that I was going to puke
it up on the drive I knew it would give me that little bit of energy. As I was driving
to school, I felt like I had forgotten something but I couldn't remember what as I
got to school and we were doing the gear check I remembered well the two
things I had forgotten a bennie and also some sunnies luckily we live close
by so mum just zipped home and got them for me.
The drive up was actually pretty good I didn't feel sick at all but that's probably
because I was talking about hunting and who else better to do that with than
Kade and Derik and I can tell you now I may have told them some of
“Dads secret spots” by mistake sorry dad.
The walk up was SO HARD I HATED it and I know hate is a strong word but look out
year 7s it tough. I was expecting the track to be a little more what's the word?. This is it MAINTAINED it was seriously loose rocks and
big 1m drops or steps it was crazy and hard, I felt so sorry for my
short stubby legs afterward. Walking up it felt like it never ended
Mr. S-W sad that we would be able to see the lodge after a while but
it felt like hours before we could see it. While I walk I like to know how
close I am or har much longer but Mr. S-w would not answer me he kept
saying “he doesn't answer dumb questions like that” so we kept walking
and finally after what felt like hours of walking I could see it a BIG RED
LODGE! It was such a relief and I felt like I had made it but little did know it was
still a 25-minute walk to it.
When I first saw the lodge from the outside it didn't look too bad and it actually
looked pretty with the roof covered in snow and the keas fighting on top but
then I walked into the bunk room corridor my jaw kind of dropped! I had stayed
in nicer huts in the middle of a bush then this. It smelled funny to it had this
rotten coleslaw smell it was not pleasant at all. But once Sammi, Pippa and
Myself got in there it smelt like bubblegum but it took a lot of perfume.
Going out for my first ski ever really got my adrenaline pumping! I was super
amped and I was ready I got my boots fitted and got some ski and went outside
I thought I was going to be a pro but my thoughts suddenly changed as soon as I
got the first ski on. I was sliding everywhere and falling over from left to right it was
not easy at all. We all took off pour skis and walked over to our skiing spot it was
called chassis I think? We all walked up a wee bit on the beginner's slope and it
was hard even doing that I finally stood up Mr. S-W turned me around and told
me to wedge my skis I tried but he just let me go and I went zoom the fell on my
but I would explain the rest of skiing that day but it's all the same.
After the first nights ski I think it was fair to say we were all tired we come in go
changed and I had a shower it was so good then I done a face mask it burned
because I was sunburned after my shower I went out and had tea it was ok the
mince was a bit tasteless though. That night we got told that the weather was
meant to turn to custed so the parent made the call that we would walk down
at 5 pm the next day which I think was a great idea.
Waking up the next morning was not fun Sammi and Pippa woke me up early
and I was super mad at them
I ended up getting up and I was the walking dead I got up and there was hardly
any breakfast left witch I was mad about so I just went and had a few pringles
and got dressed then I went out for a wee play in the snow it was so fun Sammi
nearly fell into a wee gully with big rocks bellow but brian saved he I would of but
I was too busy laughing.
Skiing on the last day I thought I had made some real progress and
I was finally ready for the nutcracker and I was terrified to go on it but
I got it first try I didn't go up to high but in the end I did and I was turning
and going fast and I stopped wedging too because when I did I went so
much faster I even nearly took out Mrs. Reid I was going so fast.
The walk down was not fun my hiking boots were knicked by a person
from lincoln high (mum was not happy) so I walked down in snow boots
they were not comfy on the way down we took it, slow witch,
I did not enjoy I just wanted to zoom off but I'm glad I did not because
walking down in snow boots is not easy. And hour about passed and we
were finally down. It was such a relief. I was so happy and cold all my gear
wet because it was raining I just took off my jacked and we turned up the
heater and made it like a sauna it was so much better. It was a boring trip
back but we finally got to school then I got pick nd went to Mds for tea it was soo good.
