TOO LONG IN THE DARK...
I stepped inside the huge rock climbing tower, with my mind wondering which tunnel to take. I decided that I should take the highest path which, by the way was only reachable by climbing a mini rock climbing wall. I heaved myself up only to find that the inside was pitch black, and that Jeanine, one of my team mates, was lost. So I made my way over to her and asked her how she got lost and she replied that she was following Sam and Storm, two more members of my team, when they went to fast and she lost track of them, and had just realised that she had been going around in circles the whole time. So I stayed with her whilst I made my way to the top of the Bridge Valley Camp Caving System.
As we were making our way to the top, We came across Ellie, another team member, and she asked us if we wanted to play tag with her and the others. As soon as Jeanine and I agreed she tagged me and narrowly escaped without being tagged. as soon as she was out of view I turned around only to find that Jeanine had narrowly escaped just as Ellie had previously done. Meaning that I was alone in a dark tunnel.
As soon as I got up, because I decided that i should actually try and tag someone,I fell through a hole that Jeanine and I had previously climbed through. When I recovered from the fall I made my way around the maze of tunnels until I reached the highest point at 9 meters so I made my way back down the tower. All the while there was still no sign of any of my team members.
When I got to the bottom I found EVERYBODY in my group sitting or standing outside the tower. I went to go and sit beside Ellie and ask her why every body was out here. She replied by saying...YOU TOOK TO LONG!!!

It was the second day and the first activity. What fun they had looked.
When we walked down we heard a loud and gigantic roar from the engine. That made me just about wet myself because the noise was so frightening and I also had just drunk a lot of water. The Go-Karts looked like they were going to go fast. The track looked a bit bumpy and the conners looked like they will be hard to get around. I thought that they were going to be a bit of a challenge. But it still looked fun. I reckoned that they were going to be amazing. I was going to burst of excitement in a few minutes.
We had to choose a partner to ride with. I went with Alice. After we had chosen a partner we lined up. Alice and I were the first to get out of the gate and then it was jake and Jordan .
We hopped in the blue and they hopped in the red. We hopped in and my heart was pounding so hard my head was thumping! I was first to drive. I thought that Alice wasn’t going to trust to drive by the look that she had on her face.
One of the staff from Bridge Valley was watching, explaining how to use it and the rules. His name was Roddy and he was very cool. We were first to get ready so Roddy came over to us before he went to the boys. When he was explaining the the rules I thought in my head that I was going to die. But when he told how to use the car I was ready to push the peddle down as hard as I could. And then he said you can go and we were off!! We went screaming all the way around the corner and up the little hill. I slowed down up the hill and then we came to a stopped. I was pushing the peddle down as hard as I could but we weren’t getting anywhere. We started to wave our hands around and yelled. Roddy came and told me that I have to put the peddle down the whole way down to be able to get up the hill. So he had to give us a push to get started again.
I thought that I had broken the peddle and that we wouldn’t be able to carry on. Also thought that I had ruined the Go- Kart. It was only that we weren’t going fast enough. Alice was screaming the whole way and she didn’t look like she was very safe withe the look that was on her face. One more lap to go. Time to speed up and finish my go!!!Just about there and I was going as fast as I could. We came to the stopping point were Roddy was. Roddy said to put the breaks on and turn the steering wheel to the side. So I did turn the steering wheel to the side but I forgot to put on the breaks and I went up the bank!OOPS!!! My turn has now finish and its Alice’s turn.
WOW it was fun and scary I thought that I was going to die and not to be able to control the steering wheel. I had scared Alice with my very great driving skills. We were screaming most the ride and I got a very sore throat. I had a blast!! I hoped that Alice did too.

WILD RIDE
WOW they looked wicked! My heart was pounding! I reckon that they looked so much better than the ones that were at Tea Pot Valley! I was so excited! I couldn’t wait to have a go! The loud and roaring engines were on and ready to go. My heart was pounding like I just had the fright of my life. It was the second day and the first activity. What fun they had looked.
