Year Six Camp - Rakaia Gorge Walkway

On the first day when I heard we were going for this long walk up a farmer’s hill. I was looking forward to going there but a little frightened of the water. I was a little bit scared because Nathan told us that the Rakaia Gorge River was thirty cubic metres across. I imagined what would happen if someone fell and went straight in the water and got hurt.

When we started our walk up the hill we saw jet boats, golfers and cows. We had to carry our bags on our backs. They were really heavy because they had our food and warm clothes. We also saw other people going up and down the hill following the orange triangles. We had our lunch up the hill and the weather was cloudy. We din’ t continue our walk because it was raining. We were supposed to go for a swim at Mt Somers but because of the weather we didn’t go.

My favourite part was when I saw jet boats and cows on a far away land and having some lollies on our way up and down the hill.
