Yesterday core 2 loaded a BBQ lunch and packed all the bikes needed and headed off on the twisty road to Bright.

It was a beautiful day and the weather wasn’t too hot or too cold. Firstly we split into groups (we actually didn’t have to go in our expo group for once) then we rock, paper scissored to see who did the walk or ride first. Lucky me I was in the group that went on the walk first.

The walk was lovely, it was along a nice clean river. The best thing about the walk was the swing bridges. I’m not sure how stable they are but we all had fun swinging along, and one of the boys had bright red marks on his hips from where one of the girls had held onto him because she was so scared.

As we ended the walk we realized the bike riding group wasn’t back yet, so we decided to start cooking the BBQ for them. Best lunch since being at TAS! After lunch we cleaned up and started our bike ride.

It took us a while to get out of the caravan park because Miss Warren didn’t know where she was going, but we got out eventually. The bike ride was very pleasant, Bright is a very beautiful place and the track that we rode on showed that a lot. The only thing that could have made the bike ride better would have been ice cream.

When we arrived back at our starting point we loaded all the bikes into the trailer and the other group arrived shortly. Then we all got read for a swim in the river. The river was very cold at first and I was too cold to put my head under, but once I did it didn’t feel as cold. The swim was a very excellent idea because everyone had fun playing in the water. We even got under water pictures for our Passports.

Finally it was time to leave so we all left the water and got changed and headed back to TAS. It was funny on the way back because all the loud people were asleep so it was a pleasant ride home.
