On Thursday the 18th of August, all of the year eights at Loburn School prepared to embark on yet another WPCA activity, a night tramp to lake Daniels.
For this tramp, we would be driving up to a carpark at the start of the tramp and meeting a group of children from Westport, who were also doing the WPCA challenge, and completing the tramp with them.
Shortly after some cold dinner, we all started off on our tramp. For this, we had to hike for approximately three hours, some of which was in the pitch black, to a hut where we would stay the night. We would then climb back the next morning and go to the Lewis pass and climb a mountain.
After a long dark walk, we arrived at the hut around nine pm, where we eventually ended going to bed at around ten, if that. The next morning we left after breakfast, and arrived back at the car park around lunchtime. Perfect timing.
Then, after everyone got back, we drove to the food of the mountain we were going to climb. This was probably the best bit, because the mountain was covered in... Snow! Now that was fun. Sadly, because of all the snow, we were only able to climb about half way to the top before the teachers decided it was time to turn back.
One of the best things about this trip was having the children from Westport on the tramp, they were great company, and I had a very fun filled time.
