Hmmm, another weekend in ChCh.. this must change, though it was fun. Firstly though a pic from Kite-Surfing. This one is of Sam doing some body-dragging.
I’m kinda tempted to take it up, but might stick with kayaking for the moment – can’t do everything!
Sat morning – went Kayaking in the surf again out at Sumner. Mhairi and a few of the others from the tramping club were off doing a multisport race. Mhairi, Jana and Clare did incredibly well – and came second in the womens category, with Mhairi picking up the fastest womens time for the run (1 hour 9 mins to do 17Km up a mountain track.. insane/impressive/both ;)
Then some climbing in the new rock-gym. It’s quite impressive, but they need to get some concession cards going or something, as at $12 per session it’s kinda expensive. I really want to get back climbing 3 days a week – really meant to improve a lot this year, and while I’ve improved, I’m still not where I want to be – yet.
Then there were a couple of parties (incl my first toga-party – lots of fun). But it was absolutely great to see Anthony (bloke wot had nasty fall)
He’s in the middle of the photo (with the beer). It’s incredible – he seems in perfect form after what really could have been a fatal accident.
Sunday – most lazy day – for the first time took the kayaks down to the end of garden and had a lovely paddle for an hour or so up and down the river – it was really great fun.
And today – Monday – Glynn has just arrived back from the N. Island and is busily pottering around his room getting organised. I’ve been really really looking forward to him moving in actually – I can see fun times ahead.
