Camp Recount

Camp Recount:

“Woah!” Screamed my friend Tienera and I as we nearly flew off the tyre course. We both decided to do the tyre course because it looked challenging and hard. No matter how frightened and scared we were. We knew we wouldn’t give up.

As we struggled to climb even up the first bar. The mooshy and slippery mud made it harder for us to try and climb. We finally were able to get up the first step but there was dry mud on each bar which were the trails of mud left by the team before us. The disgusting mud crumbled and went into my mouth and eyes. As the mud dissolved on my tongue it tasted horrible and my eyes were really stinging but that still didn’t stop me from making it to the long piece of slippery wood.

I finally passed all the bars and reached out as far as I could to grab the piece of wet wood. My arms couldn’t stretch anymore but luckily I could grip onto the piece of wood pulled myself up with all my mite. As I finally pulled myself up I sat on the piece of damp wood and took a deep breath of fresh air. I looked out and the view was awesome because I could see all the cabins and the other teams doing their activities.

“Go Tienera,” I yelled as it was my partner’s turn to climb. I then pulled him up when he got to the top of the bars and it felt like my arm was about to fall off. Steadily we both stood up very slowly then all of a sudden we swung from left to right. “Lean that way!”. “No lean that way!”. Tienera and I were yelling at each other until we both leaned the same way.

Trying our hardest to climb up the massive, heavy tyre. We both just couldn’t do it. So we decided to give up and go back down but we were extremely happy with how far we got. As I high fived everyone I knew that the next time I do this course I would make it to the top and I did.
