-Classic NZ country sign, BOOM BOOM BOOM..

If you are anything like me right now, recovering from an injury and having far to much time dreaming of kayaking you will have noticed that there has been a shortage of blog updates by the more fortunate, healthy, fit people residing in Okere Falls, Hoki, etc. Each morning I get up and pour a cup of tea and while eating my Vogels toast and sipping my tea I like to see whats news. Seems the rivers are dry and all people have to do is try to flip bikes off ramps into the lake! (classic edit here)
But I guess this is the time of year when everyone is hard at work saving as much as possible for the coming spring in the northern hemisphere! Its not far off really!
So with a bit of spare time I decided to join Matt Danes on another outing in search of Hawkes Bay waterfalls. This time it was not as successful as the Waihi Stream mission but we are sure there are more out there somewhere! It was a fun day and even though the drop looked sweet from google earth after 2km walking up Nuhaka River we found it was not to go. Maybe if there was a ton of water and a heli access higher up then maybe but I think this one will go down as a nice scenic place to visit...

-Upper Nuhaka River waterfall, deep pool but mission to get to!!!

The days of kayaking are getting closer but for now its, exercises and a bit of Buller fest to keep things interesting.
Hopefully people will have some more kayaking updates soon for us to enjoy!
Cheers
Josh
