Last Monday 1Amazing went on our first expo! We all set off about nine o’clock, excited and ready to get going. The packs were huge, but no one complained, and we all supported each other along the beach, the wind whipping the sand against our legs. At one point the tide came in so far that we could no longer go along the beach – so we had to climb a dune. We all hauled each other up and continued down to the beach, finding many odd little things along the way.

On day two we rose early and headed back along the power pole track in the hot weather. We saw two snakes along the way, laying on the track, and not moving until we came close. We walked about 6km the next day, and cheered as we got back to our starting point – we had completed our first expo!
Everyone worked really well as a team for our fist expo, and all stepped up to the challenges offered. It proved just how well we could work together and brought us all closer together as a group. #1amazing
