Flynn : Homework Challenge P3

Explore the outdoors: With a family member or family friend complete an 8 hour tramp or an overnight camp out

On the 6th of July I completed the homework challenge "explore the outdoors." In the afternoon my Mum and I walked down to the back of our property where it is a bit swampy. We took a tent and set it up at around 4:00pm. After that we walked back home and got dressed and collected all our gear. We made some dinner to take down and packed a few marshmallows to roast as well. At 5:30 we grabbed our torches and walked down the track to the swamp. Once we arrived we set up our beds and put the food under cover. Then we started the fire, we had to use an old 44 galon drum lid to start the fire on because of safety precautions. We unfolded our armchairs and relaxed. I suggested a marshmallow roasting competition… Of course I won the competition! About 3 hours later we hopped in to the tent and slowly drifted to sleep…I woke up 3 times during the night, 1am, 4am and 5am. Finally I woke up for my day at 7am. At 8am we started the fire and roasted the left over marshmallows, we even tried roasting some bananas, but that didn't really work. We packed up most of our things and started heading back up the hill. That was the end of our awesome overnight camp out…
