Back yesterday from four magnificent days in the Ruahine with John (L) and Robb (R). The walk down the river from Upper Makaroro hut included several deep wades (arm-pit deep on one occasion) but on a day like this a good soaking seemed more a plus than a discomfort.
More photos on the way.

Kia ora Pete,
ReplyDeleteWhen I view this I feel as if I am back there. The sunlight on the water and an easy few minutes ahead, as the darker gorge behind probably meant a tougher stretch is behind us. And the eyes focused down and on the job at hand, the nuances of river walking. Which did not prevent either John or myself from a fall! The ankle is a bit better :). Beautiful Pete, thank you, and kia ora for the great experience in a wonderful and amzing place.
Cheers,
Robb

ReplyDeleteRobb, thank you for organising the trip — one of the most enjoyable I've had in the Ruahine for quite a while. Good to hear the ankle's recovering :^)
ReplyDeleteZhoen, that's pretty much how I feel now, even so soon after the trip. Got to get back there.
