Yesterday was a big challenge; I climbed a mountain as tough as a rhino & as tall as Mt Everest. It was a hard climb but we made it.
Now, the reason we did climb the mountain was because Squidy really wanted to climb a mountain so we did it with Captain Aubrey, the Bosun & Captain Scrumpy from Serenity. We had spotted a track from Quickstar. It looked like the earth-hungry cyclone Winston had made the path.
So we went ashore to start climbing the mountain. It was quite easy compared to the rest of the climb. Scrumpy found a walking stick for everyone to help us walk. It helped a lot. The mountain was very steep but fun to climb. We had to go off the track and into the half-sunlit forest because it was the easiest way.
Then at last! We made it! To the summit of the mountain. We all felt hungry so we ate some of Bosun’s chocolate fudge. But we still had to get back down. So we started heading down but we couldn’t find the rest of the path so we had to weave our way through the trees to get to the rocks and walk back around to the other side of the island. Once we had got around I realised that I had actually climbed the mountain! I did it.
