Camp Roil

Sleeping in bivouac at camp

It was night time at Camp Roil on Thursday 3rd of April.

When we were making our bivouac. I went over and got 2 tarpaulins 5 pegs and 1 piece of rope. Emma, Nikita and I decided to made our bivvy in the far corner pretty much away for the other bivvies.  So we got out one tarpaulin and put it on the ground and peg it in with 2 pegs and Louise (Nikita S. mum) help us hammer the metal pole into the ground to help our bivouac stand up. After digging the metal pole in the ground we tied a piece of rope from the fence to the pole for the top tarpaulin to lie on so it is like a triangle and we will peg that into the ground too.

We went over to the shed to get our big bags YAH!! Now we can put our mattress, sleeping bag, blanket, teddy, touch, lollies and powerade in our bivvy. Shhh don’t tell Mrs Roil we brought lollies and powerade.

After putting the henke out eating dinner having free time eating our pudding all those kind of things we had a game of spotlight while some people went over to the stream to check the Henke out it was a quick game of spotlight I was one of the people who got found first.  When the came back with smiles on their faces we sat around the campfire roasting marshmallows and once I had roast it my marshmallow it was sticky and black but I still ate it.  After like my 8th marshmallow Mrs Roil said “Go and brush our teeth and hope in our bivvy”

So we did that and talked. When we heard Mrs Roil come over we were silent and Mrs Roil opened the flap and she said “ You guys can have a mabble each” And when she walked away we said “YES”. During the night we had a feast with our lollies and Emma’s powerade. It started to rain Emma and I said ”Really?” We all got scared because we heard a noise I got really scared my heart started pounding and Emma was clinging onto my arm  but it was trucks having a wash it was really noisy. When it was morning at 7.00am Emma rolled on her back and woke me up but I did not mine.  We hopped out of our bivvy and had breakfast I had scrambled eggs on toast my eggs were looked a bit rubbery.
