Wales Walking

We went walking in South Wales Monday 29th - Wednesday 1st, I was the only girl that went with 12 boys.  I had an achievement saying that I was the fastest girl, but i felt quiet bad cause all of the boys had to wait for me all the time. At night cause I was all by myself in a tent I got freezing, couldn't sleep because I was that cold.

We arrived in Wales and walked for about 30 minutes to camp. We went wrong straight away, so we had to  go down this rough terrain hill, quite a lot of people fell over, including me.

When we got to camp we set our tents up, then got out food ready. Even though none of us were tired, we went to bed because there was nothing else to do. It was a uncomfortable night, because we were sleeping on elephants grass, so there was a big bump right where you wanted to sleep.

We woke up the second day and knew we had a big day today, whilst James and Elliot got the boiling water ready, me and tom started to get our bags ready and take down our tents.

We started off and there was a none stop going up hill, I was slow going up that hill and all the boys waited for me. We finally got to the top! We walked that whole day going up and down hill, there wasn't
 much flat. We finally got up the highest hill in South Wales, that was tough!! But it was a massive achievement when I got to the top. We got to camp and set up our tents. We had just had lunch so none of us were that hungry so we just had a chat and investigated the area. We had dinner, then all the boys did this carrot and stick challenge, i just watched cause i was shattered from the day. I went to bed early whilst they played wrestling games.

The next morning we had all got a routine that James and Elliot got the water going whilst me and tom got our bags and tents ready. Near the end of the walk some of the group split up, some of them went over the hill but a couple of us went through water and in a tunnel. We finally got to the minibus and came home.

My strengths in this walk is that i was very organised, I had the correct amount of food, snacks, i could of had more layers for the night. I was also one of the first to put up and take down my tent and pack up my bag.

My weaknesses were my stamina, up the hills I kept stopping and I was always behind everyone else. Need to get fitter!! Altogether we went up 3 peaks and did 20km, 16km on the second day.
