Hello reader
On Monday last week, Waikowhai year 6’s went to Moris Point Camp!
My absolute most favourite part of camp was doing the Burma trail. The Burma Trail was invented so that they could bring supplies to beleaguered China, to help them resist the Japanese invasion. So now you know how it was invented i’ll tell you how it works. There is a rope going though the jungle so that they know the way at night instead of memorising the way, there, a nice explanation. On the second day of camp we went to the Burma trail, its located at a dense jungle. Obviously you are supposed to go through it at night so you can experience it fully.
You could go in a pair of 2’s, 3’s, or go solo. It was also horrifying because we heard a RAGHRRR then screaming in the bushes as people were going through, which meant there was some people in there scaring the other kids. I decided to go by myself because i had a plan, just catch up with the person in front of me! The first part wasn’t easy at all, it was darker than all the other parts but then after 5m of following the line there was light. The rest was just following the line but I remember, there was people scaring me so, RAGHRRR, someone scares unexpectedly. Finally after some people scaring me i finally get to the end, YAY!
It was so fun I went again, and again, so much times I remember the pathway of the trail, so the next next day we went to the Burma Trail again. But we had to enter in the Burma Trail from the back! First time i caught up with my friends and someone had the brilliant idea of singing “BOB DA BUILDER CAN WE FIX IT,” so we wouldn’t get scared, because if we sang it loudly we couldn’t hear the shouts and that we wouldn’t get scared. After singing that we sang “DADDY FINGER DADDY FINGER WHERE ARE YOU”. And then the next next round they said go by your self and MUTE. Then i went through after one of my teachers and i remember where some of the scares (i know its not a really word) so i didn’t really get scared. I’ve done at least 10 round’s all together because it was the most FUN experience overall at camp.
Over all i would do the Burma Trail again because it was fun.
