Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Another whitewater kayaking trip today, this time down the Akatarawa river. My first time down this river, we encountered a fallen tree that had completely spanned the river, requiring a portage across.

Also a big step up in difficulty for me, with some of the rapids on this being grade three.

The one that flows through Staglands? Do you have to get out and go around what they call the "bushman's bridge", a log they put across the river that you can walk across?

That's a long way up the river from where we started, we put in at Karapoti Rd.

Now I think about it, it's a long drive out there, it makes sense you wouldn't go that far in.
