My trip up hemi matenga

On Tuesday we had to go up Hemi Matenga for a training trek so that we woul get used to the  feeling of walking a long way up a mountain I found it really exhausting and ended up giving my back back to Drew my friend.

In my group was Maddy, Caitlin, Raquel, Drew and me our leader was Debby Ludlum Drew's mother ( very funny person by the way).

We had to do the full track all the way to the top, it was fun and tiring but having my friends there to talk to it was even more fun.

The view at the top was nothing but cloud and cold but when we got out of the mountain all there was, was sunshine which was much better. Me and Drew were always ahead so we had to stop a lot, going down was a lot more fun as it seemed much more faster.

When we got to the top to eat lunch Mr Whiteman and his group had picked some supplejack from the bush so we ate some of that.( It tasted like beans)

Doing the Hemi Matenga walk was lots of fun and I can not wait until we go to Camp and climb Mt Kahikatea.

This Hemi Matenga walk was to prepare us for Mt Kahikatea which is going to be a-lot harder but I am excited.

I am hoping that I will be fit enough to conquer Mt Kahikatea at Curious Cove
