On Friday the 16th of March we got to walk up the Bridle Path and we got to go to Ferrymead. We went there because for writing. We are doing recounts on events in New Zealand's history, the event I am doing is the Pike River mine explosion which was in 2010. The highlight of my day was going up the Bridle Path because I like going on walks with my family, another thing I enjoyed was going down the gondola because it had amazing views from it. When we were in the school at Ferrymead we learnt that it was a lot stricter then it is now because we did a role play about what it would be like in 1956 at school. It also had different currencies like a half penny, a penny and shillings. I was in the second group to leave school and we left at 10:00, first our group went up the Bridle Path and we were put into smaller groups of five or six so we would be able go down the gondola in our groups. I was with Miss Wilson, Taylor R, Lorenzo and Charlie. These are some pictures we took during the walk.
It would of been tiring for the early settlers because we only had to tack our bag with us and they had to take all there belongings. Miss Wilson told us that someone brought a piano with them, they must of loved music to do that!
Have you been up the Bridle Path before, if you have, how long did it take you?
