Murchison for New Years was excellent. Really excellent. Here you can see me in the middle of one of the bigger rapids we went through.
It was kinda exciting to say the least. I wasn’t having an incredibly successful day really, took 2 swims when I didn’t manage to get my roll working…. more practice needed for sure.
New Years was great fun though.. it was lovely at the campsite, knew heaps of people from caving & tramping & climbing circles. Also, someone had caught a wild pig and donated it to the campsite! so we had roast pork for dinner. Quite yum (sorry to all the Vege’s out there). And just chilling out with the great friends I’ve made here, it really was an excellent way to see in the New Year… The one making the face is Warick!
p.s… that pic of ‘me in one of the bigger rapids’ wasn’t me – nor even of a river I’m going to be attempting for a very very long time – if ever. It was a trip that my friend Tim was on last year. Warick says it’s pretty ok.. but I have my doubts!
Headed back down to ChCh as I kinda want to get some work done as I’ve got a project which has to get finished before I head to Thailand, and I’ve got 2 irish friends arriving within the week that I really want to spend time with. Fun times :)
