Back to School: Maungaroa

 Stomp, stomp, stomp.  That's the noise of Moana and Nui syndicates walking up to the base Maungaroa. As we reach the bottom of the mountain we all stop to get reorganized into lines. Then about five minutes later the two syndicates which included me and my buddy, Tallulah, started climbing up Maungaroa.

As we headed up the steep and rocky incline I hear panting all around me, then I looked up and saw we weren't even close to the paddock that would lead to the main walk. At that moment I realized It is alot harder to walk in a group then it is on your own. 

While we trudged up the hill's road the pasture came closer and closer. Soon we were there and I realized that we couldn't of taken any longer than Two minutes for us to get there. Now that we were in the paddock we began to start climbing again, the problem was we had started at the bottom of the year six line and my buddy was a little more slow of a walker then I would of liked. So we slowly fell behind two I think the year fore and five line. Well as I was explaining that we had passed not only a house but also a slaughtered cow. Next we passed an electric fence that many people touched.

Finally we were back in the year six line we were nearly at the cell phone tower but when we got there we kept walking and about 30 seconds later we passed a spring that had lots of green stuff growing on it. After that we passed another electric fence that seemed to be on because of the look on the peoples faces that touched it. Since we had passed the cell phone tower I had just assumed that we were going to head for the lighthouse but after we passed the turn off for it I realised that was not the case. Avanchy we reached we reached a little cliff, that couldn't do more than sprain a ankle. From that location we got told some interesting stories.

After we had morning tea we started heading back before we passed the spring we turned up and started going up the path to the lighthouse. Once we got there we drank some water and took a photo. I am going to put the photos below.


On the way back down the mountain Koka Leah got separated from the rest of the group and so did a small part of MLH, Moana Learning Hub.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Once we got to the bottom of Maungaroa we got reorganized into our lines and we headed back to school.
