Saturday...
Nina Hut is a 3 hour walk each way to a cute little hut. The walk is through beech forest, and along a nice river. It would have been nice to spend more time along the river. One of tributaries- Boyle river- is great for fly fishing (which is- by the way- Brad's new hobby).
Sunday...
Rangitata river has some crazy sections (there is a rafting company out of there)- but I stuck to the grade 2 section of course. Very blue clour due to the rock flour.
OHHHHH Cath those pictures are BEAUTIFUL!!! Great colors every where. What gorgeous scenery
ReplyDeleteYes such vibrant colours. A really good camera would probably pick them up better (but I had to go with one that is durable and waterproof). It was a nice hot weekend- which it seems is pretty rare at this time of the year- there are often cooler winds. Brad and I are heading to the west coast next Wednesday for a whole week- so hopefully we have good weather for that. Looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteRock flour! So there is sediment in some of the NZ streams too. I knew it. A real filter might be better then tabs or UV/light.
ReplyDeleteThere is some sediment in some of the rivers but when you bottle it, you can't see it. I got some iodine tablets (but there was no giardia to be had by anyone in the end).
ReplyDeletegood, that's a relief.
