Tiring but exciting road trip to Moganshan
Print Edition
Our adventure was both an exciting and admittedly tiring expedition; filled with surprises, fun and many learning experiences.
After a five-hour bus ride, we arrived at 7:30am and prepared our breakfast: bread, boiled eggs and pate — a surprisingly tasty combination. After eating, checking our bags and filling our water bottles, we set off.
Almost immediately after leaving the hotel, we established everyone’s roles. I was the navigator (using a preplanned route card and map); Lance was in charge of our compass; Regan worked as our leader; Alex ensured we stayed hydrated; Luca acted as road safety guide and Dylan kept documents and papers. These roles, our trust in one another and our general fitness were all factors that contributed to us breezing through the first five checkpoints, hardly getting lost.
Unfortunately, after checkpoint 6, exhaustion set in and suddenly our well-defined roles started to disappear and our teamwork began to suffer.
During my adventurous journey, I learned the importance of teamwork: If my friends had not been there to support me, I would never have made it to camp. We supported each other, and although exhaustion did take its toll on us eventually, overall it was a very useful first run, which taught me a variety of new skills.
