31 July 2011 : Written by A Camping Ninja
With just under one year to go until the Olympics, we stood as three friends, lined up in a row at the campsite, each with a tent in its bag on the ground by our feet. We were doing it for Team GB and at 20:12 hours, we would take part in the exceptionally exciting Tent-lifting Olympics competition.
‘On your marks, get set, go!’ yelled Susie from the spectator’s camping chair. And for one minute only, myself and my friends Eric and Elwood fiercely competed to see who could lift our tents in their bags up the most times until the momentous minute was up.
At 20:13 the results were in. 501 times from me, 48 times from Elwood and 37 times from Eric. The gold medal goes to the Camping Ninja!
Now who wants a race to see who can put their tent up the quickest? I’ve got the speed of a ninja don’t you know!
