I was asked to go along to help out wtih Grey High Outdoor Ed class for their mountain biking trip in Hanmer. Wayne needed another helper/supervisor and a girl specifically to be a good role model for the girls in the class. We left Greymouth at 9am and got to Hanmer where we got ready to go for the first mountain bike ride. It wasn't the best weather on this day; Drizzling and cold but we still had heaps of fun. We had dinner after we'd arrived back then went to the hotpools. Next day we got up, cleaned the kitchen and our rooms and went for another mountain bike, this time a harder track but everyone did really well. We got back to the forest camp, had some lunch then went orienteering. I paired up with Charlotte so i could help her with her map reading. Had a really great time then it was time to head back to Greymouth where we arrived back at 7pm.
