SUMMARY
Just a summary of what i did during the 5-day Outward Bound camp.
DAY 1
Pitched shelters called 'basha'. Much more open and vulnerable than normal tents, thankyouverymuch. Pitched them near the belaying 'poles' in Camp 1. My watch (group) name was WASHINGTON, and it turned out that my watch 'residential', which means that we got to sleep in the dorm. For 1 night only, though. Other watches such as JUNKO were 'mobile', which meants that they sleep in tents. . Did some belaying practice, learned to tie some important knots a.k.a enjoying boredom.
DAY 2
Climbed the Inverse Tower. We climbed in pairs, attached to each other with a belt. Me and my partner reached the top! Awesome sensation. Then i belayed my other friends, and got some rope burns on my left hand in the process. We did some kayaking training, including capsizing (shallow waters). FUN.
DAY 3
Trekked from Camp 1 to Camp 2, for about 4 km. Got the responsibility as the pacer from checkpoint 2 to checkpoint 3 - tedious job. Couldn't talk for the whole 1.5 km, for the fear of losing count (which might have resulted in the watch getting lost. GULP). Saw the names of the mobile watches on their respective store rooms. (So THAT'S where they have been when we residential watches were in Camp 1!) Btw, there were only 5 residential watches, and 16 mobile watches.
DAY 4
KAYAKED from Camp 2 to Camp 3. Camp 3 is just a campsite, a.k.a no facilities AT ALL. By the way we kayaked AROUND the island. 18km for 8 hours. We kayaked against the current during some parts of the journey, and it even rained heavily along the way. ^.^
Thought that we reached paradise when we reached Camp 3. Man, were we wrong. SANDFLIES GALORE. (I still have the bites on my arms and legs).
Didn't get to see wild boars, though.
DAY 5
Kayaked back to Camp 1. Realised how comfortable Camp 1 was. Camp 1 was only 200m from Camp 3. We could practically see it from Camp 3. Man, did we feel cheated.
NOTE THAT THIS IS JUST A SUMMARY OF EVENTS. I DON'T WANNA BORE YOU GUYS. YOU CAN BET THAT LOADS MORE HAPPENED THERE, LIKE WHEN A FISH JUMPED OVER MY HEAD WHEN I WAS KAYAKING. ^.^
