Cubs Grey Wolf Hike – Jun 09

One of our Cub Scouts – Caitlin L relates her Grey Wolf experience below.

On Saturday morning around 7 o’clock Wallaby picked up Ronan and I as well as the rest of the team I picked for my Grey Wolf Walk.  We went in the car to Waterfall where we stopped and put our backpacks on to start the walk.  On the walk were Wallaby, Kaa, Maddie, William, Hayden, Ronan, and myself.  I took the lead with the map and we started down the hill.

The track was a little bit wet but not too bad.  We followed the path climbing down rocks and over fallen logs.  There were markers on the trees and in some places arrows painted on rocks.  We got down to the bottom and then walked across a little creek and got onto the trail to Kingfisher Pools.  The waterfall was running very fast.  We felt the temperature of the water and it was really cold.  We stopped at the table and had a snack before we set off again.  We then walked up a track to the Bubble Caves and on the way found some clay which we grabbed and made sculptures on the way.

We climbed up and around the bubble caves and got some photos and then went down to 1st Caringbah’s camp site at Camp Coutts.  It was region camp weekend and all the scouts were down there and on activities.

I had a lot of fun planning and doing the walk with all the people that came.  The best part is that I had fun with my friends and brought lots of clay to make things with.  The worst part was when William hurt himself at Kingfisher Pools but luckily not too severely hurt.
