Hi all.
Tomorrow morning I head off to the Mount Crawford area with my Year 9 class. Each year Year 9 Home Group teachers go camping with their classes for 5 days. When I say camping, I mean REAL camping. It's 5 days expedition style, with kids packing and carrying everything in rucksacks, cooking food on a Trangia, and all that goes with it. Last year I was really apprehensive about camp but ended up having a fantastic time. 5 days is a long time to spend purely with 23 year 9's and 1 or 2 instructors (a company called Wilderness Escape run our camps for us) but the experience is pretty awesome. I fell in love with Mountain biking and loved all the down hill trails. I was right into it. We do 3 activities; Bushwalking, Mountain biking and Kayaking. We Kayak along the Murray, visit a very old Aboriginal sight called ngaut ngaut (pronounced naught naught) and end up in Mannum I think.
I've included a pretty awful photo. It's about 10pm here and Pete took this photo of me trying out my rucksack.
I'm praying the weather is good for us! Please spare me a thought when you wake up in the morning and have a lovely hot shower, and when you snuggle up in your beds at night!
