Alright Lads!

Am chuffed after getting down amy first New Zealand River in one piece! did a really handy one (Hokitiki goerge) on the west coast. really nice to start with as i hadn't been in a boat in 11months (my god  :o) big and bouncy jsut the way i like it  ;)water was an amazing crystal green colour, so beautiful.
 
Benny got 2 other runs on top of that done...needless to say, he chose 2 slightly less handy ones - one of which was a 6hour continuous grade 4+ that he was helicopered into. he was grinning like a cheshire cat when he got off so i gathered he enjoyed himself!

Best part of the weekend was that i got to paddle benny's brand spanking new boat before he did (bought on friday)  ;D riot magnun...sweet!

Later teds, I hope i've much more rivers to come...

Lorco,

We know you really miss home!

Quite frankly, i'd rather be in the muddy watered annomoe in the depts of december on a club trip with 40 punters, with freshers who have been stuffed in to the playboats (with no foot blocks or back rest) cause there was nothing left in the boathouse, or in T-canyons with no air bags, then sitting in the eddie above jacksons thinking should i run the drop blind, to chase the boats, or wait until the freshers are out of the hole first. wondering why i am shivering? is it because i lent my thermals to some hot chick who forgot hers (and has a boyfriend), or because of the, quite simply, the air temperature?

Come Lorco, just come home and give up this charade.


yours faithfully,

Tom
