The weather was better, so we finally got to complete the Huia challange.
This consisted of three tasks (to be completed in any order). After this the
group was given the right to cook a delicious burger:
1) Fly a kite for 5 minutes. Seeing as there was no wind, this finally came down
to running around the field in circles towing the kite behind. Ricki made a tremendous
effort running down a large hill, and Trevor holding the kite at the top. The kite
reached full string length, but at the bottom of the hill the kite soon followed Ricki
down when he ran out of field.
2) Write a bible verse in river stones. The verse chosen was rather short - Jesus wept!
3) Collect as much manure as you can (plastic bags supplied free). The girls made a huge
effort on this one, although we couldn't get them to touch any of the stuff. They instead
decided to use one of the plastic bags as a glove.
