On Friday the 18^th of May 1O people of Loders school, there was Harriet, Sarina, Alex, Ronan, Fiona, Helen, Daniel, Joe, William P and Tad went to Moors Valley Country Park in Ringwood.

There lots of other schools there to compete against us. The first people to set off from our School was Alex and Ronan who were together and at the end they came third in the boys. The last people to set off were Helen and Fiona. There were lots of people on the course from different schools. Most people went for the first 1,2,3,4,5 controls because they were worth 20 points each. Fiona and myself went far out into the forest, but still got lost!!!!! Luckily we had a mobile with us so we rang Mr Kite up and he directed us to the nearest control where we met up with Sarina and Harriet. We followed the map to the other controls, at which time we were 35 minutes late and we had to take 90 points off our score. We were near the end when Mr Stewart, Harriet and Alex’s dad turned up and took us back to the finish line.
