Pukete "chicken curry hot" mountain biking

Today we went to Pukete Mountain Bike track. We did four laps each. One lap was roughly four kilometres. In total we did sixteen kilometres each. (A great effort). I fell over once before the track and hurt my right leg. Luckily that was my only crash but other people fell off heaps. My time for my time trial was two minutes and forty-five seconds. Rhys came with us on behave of Bike Barn. At the end I won a pair off biking gloves for trying my best and having an insane/epic crash.

The Black Hall (Karamu caves, day 4)

Today we went to Karamu cave, it is 3km long but we only went 1km. It was a half an hour drive then we climbed up a big hill, that only took us ten minutes to get to the caves, it was the easiest walk of the week. Finally we got the top of the hill. We had to find the entrance to the cave. One group went to the wrong cave and the other group called for us to the right entrance. In the cave we went all over the rocks. It was really, really muddy and we had to walk in a lot of water. We reached the place we wanted to! It was called the sandwich. The other cool thing was the limestone stalactites and the glow-worms. Then we walked the whole way back and did roley poleys down the hill and then jumped over the stream. We were really really wet and muddy so I had to get dressed at the red shed.

The Great Meremere Fishing Trip

I could hardly sleep because I was so excited to go on the fishing trip. The van picked us up at 5.00am from the shop in Meremere and we drove to the Coromandel. On the way we picked up Mr B in Thames.

We got on the boat from the wharf at 7.00am. I was excited when we drove to the mussel farms. My first fish was a Snapper, then I caught another one. I caught 13 all up.

It was a great day fishing with Mr B and the Huntly Police. Everyone caught lots of Snapper. Hoani caught the Biggest one.

Thank you to Ra and the Huntly Police for organising the fishing trip and coming fishing with us.

P.S the BBQ was tops.
