Wow it is hot9.30pm the doors and windows are wide open andstill I feel like I need an ice pack, the new dog hasbeen fed and the kids are asleep. Treffery isworking on the computer down stairs and I’m in myoffice doing the editorial and a budget for one ofthe shops.

The scene is set...

Act OneWhat makes me happy?The key elements are Treffery, kids, work and thenew dog. Added to this are my father and mother,my brother and sisters and their kids, my aunts anduncles and their kids, mates and work colleagues,kayaking, cooking, fishing, camping, the night sky.I agree with the saying “a rich man is one who ishappy with what he has and a poor man alwayswants more.” How blessed we are having such agreat sport to share with our kids, parents andfriends in a great and beautiful country wheredreams are free and realizable.

Act TwoHow do we keep happy?A friend who has left the light side and moved overto the dark side (she has stopped kayaking andtaken up deep sea diving “ Ha Ha”) was tellingTreffery how she looks at life. This was then passedon to me and I think it is enlightening.

For each of the elements in Act One our friendcompares them to a stream flowing into her life,represented by a pond. For a stream to continue toflow the bed and sides require maintenance or itwill become blocked and slow down. The lightwent on in my masculine, practical but rather slowbrain. Obviously you have to work at the importantthings in your life and put continued effort, timeand resources into what makes you happy.

Act ThreeHave you heard it before?Yeah so had I, but this example sticks in my headand gives me a renewed focus and a huge degreeof happiness.

The final ActI am sure that many people are very rich throughthe appreciation of what they have and of howblessed they are, to enjoy this great sport in thisgreat country with their families and friends.

So #@%* the weather as it is always too hot, toocold, too windy or too wet! Get out there and bevery rich.

Happy New Year and get those streams cleared.

Speights Coast to Coast 2005- the toughest yet?

M U L T I S P O R T K A Y A K I N G

by Rob Howarth

The 23rd anniversary of The Speights

Coast to Coast was a memorable one;

the cloudless skies displayed the

Southern Alps in all their glory. But for

many the heat in the mountain made

this year’s event the toughest yet.

In 2004 the majority of one-day competitors wereair lifted off the mountain section due to adverseweather conditions. River levels were risingrapidly making river crossings extremelydangerous, it was even snowing at Goat Pass. Thisyear couldn’t have been more different, riverlevels were low and the sun was shining,temperatures leading up to Goat Pass were at least35 degrees C - It was HOT damn HOT! Of coursethat kind of extreme heat takes its toll on the bodyand with the exception of perhaps the top athleteswho cover the mountain stage in approx. 3 hrs,most competitors were slower than expected andwere suffering at the end of the day!

Race Director Robin Judkins had worked hardduring the year to attract a top field from aroundthe world and the inaugural ‘World TeamsChallenge’ saw competitors from seven countriespit their wits against each other in the one dayevent. In the two-day teams Ben Fouhy andJonathon Wyatt (world kayaking & mountainrunning champions respectively) teamed

together to take on the mighty Causer brothers.Fouhy & Wyatt running out winners by 18 mins.We all expected Fouhy to be quick on the river butit was a sight to see him sprinting along the stonybank of the Waimakarere, at Mount White Bridge,at the tail end of the field (due to a staggered cyclestart) only to pass all but Luke Vaughn on the river!Luke Vaughn won the individual two day eventwith an impressive performance. He is a 20 yearold student with many years racing ahead of himand will no doubt be a force to be reckoned within the one day race in years to come.

In The Longest Day Richard Usher out smarted thefield to claim first place whilst Kristina Anglem(nee Strode Penney) claimed the women’s title forthe second year running with a blistering time of12:23 finishing in 6th place overall (in other wordsthere were only 5 blokes in front of her!!).

But this event is not just about the supermen andwomen of the multisport world, The SpeightsCoast to Coast attracts competitors of all shapes,sizes and ages. The youngest competitor this yearwas 17 while the oldest 67. As a first timer myselfthis year (in the 2- day team event with GordonDaglish) I was in awe of the fitness and dedicationof competitors, many of whom we have taught tokayak over the past few years. For those of youwho have secretly desired to compete but thoughtyou were not fit enough, think again. The resultssection contains nearly 900 names most of whom

had little or no kayaking or multisport experienceprior to entering The Speights Coast to Coast. Theevent is a personal challenge which drives you inthe months leading in, the atmosphere isinfectious during the race, the camaraderieuplifting. It truly is New Zealand’s premiermultisport race.

Finally a special mention goes to Mark Pollockfrom Ireland who entered the 2-day individualevent. Mark has been blind since the age of 19 andwas the first blind competitor to take on theSouthern Alps. The plan was to tandem cycle &kayak and to be led up the mountain. Now, tothose of you who are not familiar with themountain stage let me tell you that it is toughenough with both eyes open! Mark made it to GoatPass but had run out of time and had to be airliftedoff the mountain. Although disappointed not tofinish he was philosophical after the race ‘If itwasn’t for those bloody boulders’. My sentimentsexactly Mark! If Mark can give it a go so can YOU -see you there in 2006.

S E A K A Y A K I N G

by Jenny Harper

Labour weekend saw five Taranaki YYK clubbies (Bronnie,

Karen, Ruth, Walter and Jenny) converge on Mangakino with

a plan to paddle Lakes Maraetai, Whakamaru and Waipapa,

the middle three of the eight Waikato dam lakes.

Saturday was perfect, overcast and calm, as we paddled up Lake Maraetai,under the HWY 30 road bridge and into the Mangakino Stream. Localresidents had previously told us about this magical ‘Lost World’. We werenot disappointed. We paddled up a drowned river canyon hemmed inbetween spectacular cliffs of grey rock tinged with pink and white, clothedwith regenerating native trees and ferns.

The cliffs resulted from volcanic eruption 300,000 years ago in the TaupoNorth West Bays area. Vast amounts of superheated ash, gas and pumiceswept across the land at great speed, cooling to form the distinctive, verticallyjointed rock known as Whakamaru ignimbrite, visible today. For an hour wepaddled quietly upstream, entranced by the cliffs, the unexpectedly prolificbirdlife and stunning reflections in the dark still water.

At one point we had to paddle through a ‘Sargasso Sea’ of floating lake weed,pumice stones and discarded plastic rubbish back-eddied from the lake, asad reminder of human impact on our natural environment. Three kilometresupstream from the bridge the cliffs blend into open farmland and the rivernarrows into a gut leading to a rapid. We turned and drifted downstreamexploring two hidden sidestream ravines on our paddle home to the lodge.

On Sunday we paddled the lower half of Lake Whakamaru, past rolling hills,farmland and pine forest, pockets of pungas and kowhai, under toweringvolcanic cliffs. We spent this very rainy day paddling close to the shorelineidentifying native trees and plants, looking at waterfalls and searchingwithout success for a little lake-edge hot water spring we’d been told about.

On Monday, we drove to Lake Waipapa to paddle the Waipapa River. It entersthe lake half a kilometre upstream of the dam. From our Topo map it seemedwe could paddle quite a long way up. We launched at the lake edge, andpaddled up to and under the road bridge into the river.

Bronnie gave us a quick lesson on handling water hydraulics, and then oneby one we followed as she led the way through the fast running shallowsunder the bridge. Regrouping in the still water, we paddled upstream

alongside pine forest and native scrub enjoying the calm sunny morning, thereflections in the water and the sight and sound of kingfishers, fantails, greywarblers and tuis.

We had barely paddled a kilometre when the river narrowed. Eddies andfoam spirals formed in the quickening current, and we could hear a lot ofrushing water around the next bend. This turned out to be a very extensiverapid suitable only for experienced white water kayakers. We pulled into alittle silt beach and explored alongside the rapid on foot, Bronnie and Karendiscussed ways it could be run.

Not for us sea kayakers though! We returned to the lake for a short paddleupstream past the uninspiring bare hillsides and debris of harvested trees.We returned to the lodge, packed up and headed for home, content with aweekend of relaxed paddling and small group camaraderie on and off thewater.

Our base for the weekend was a 40 bed lodge at the Lake Maraetai RowingClub complex on the lake edge at Mangakino. It offers superb, secureaccommodation for groups at $10 pp per night, with excellent kitchen, dining,bathroom and bunkroom facilities above boat storage and gear dryingfacilities. Custodian contact is Peter Thomas, Korari Crescent, Mangakino 2391ph 07 8828809.

I am still pondering the volcanic forces that created this landscape, andspeculating on what the cliffs and gorges looked like before the dams floodedand drowned the river valleys of the Waikato, Mangakino and Waipapa.

The Waikato dams and lakes are managed by Mighty River Power, theirwebsite www.mightyriverpower.co.nz includes the construction history ofthe dams as well as info on lake levels, hydro spills and recreational access.

Seasons PassK A Y A K L E A D E R S T R A I N I N G

by Ruth E. Henderson

Have you ever wracked your brains as

how to extend your occasional Day or

Weekend Paddling Pass?

Wrack no longer. Here is the perfect solution.Become a leader and get a Seasons Pass. Sincekayaking is a year round sport in New Zealand,this is in effect a yearlong ticket.

It works for me. In the four years since I went onmy first trip with the Northshore Yakity Yak Club,

with other folk who all know how to do a selfrescue and an assisted rescue; that amongstthe group there is a heap of safety gear - splitpaddles, tow ropes, VHF’s, high visibility hatsand flags, first aid kits...

• Thirdly there is acceptance that you NEED TOPRACTISE, keep on top of your sport, need toshow the flag and support other leaders,especially on their first master-minded trip.

As the club - yours or mine gets more leaders,other advantages occur:

• You ‘push the envelope’ and extend yourself,secure in the knowledge that competentpeople surround you.

• The safety ratio of 1 leader: 6 followers isexceeded. On the Devonshire morning tea tripto Rangitoto we had 44 people on the water.This could have been a nightmare - but withample leaders we had 6 pods with twoleaders each. That’s 1 : 3.6. That’s magnificant.

• Several trips can be run concurrently. LastQueens Birthday weekend, we had treblebilling with three trips on, stretched betweenthe Waikato and Northland with between 9and 19 people each.

• A plethora of leaders on any organised outingalso means different variations on a themecan occur on any day. The weather, surf orswell, paddler’s ability or inclination on theday can all be taken into account with cruisersto racers and the bods in between all cateredfor.

• Great friendships develop. After spendingseveral days a year practising rescuing eachother in often inhospitable and coldsurroundings and conditions, you get to knoweach other well.

• Spontaneous teaching sessions or practiceshappen. This occurred over Waitangiweekend at Mimiwhangata when we had 33people on the water. Clusters of paddlersvoluntarily practised rescues and rollingevery day and on the last day, those skilled atsurfing taught and supervised the rest of us.

As Christine Watson said after the Mimiwhangataweekend which she and husband Neil organised,“this was the club, operating at its best.” And myclub, your club will continue to do so, as long aswe continue to train new leaders. Hey, if someonesuggests that you come on board, DO IT, and havea ripper of a year.

Contact your nearest Canoe and Kayak shop forinformation on their Leaders training courses.

the one club trip a year has steadily escalated tothree, then six, and last season leapt to eighteen.All without a word of complaint from the non-kayaking household member.

Part of this acceptance is due to:

• Firstly as a leader you get to TAILOR-MAKEyour days or weekends on the water. Thismeans that you can pander to your familysometimes, and design days in which they canparticipate or in turn you can supportsuch trips.

A few classic cases last year were: TawharanuiOpen Sanctuary base camp - some joined inon the tree planting; Wenderholm toWarkworth - some met for lunch in a Café;Otamure and Mimiwhangata base camps -some participants spent their days walkingand swimming, never touching a paddle;Raglan Harbour - my beloved surprised meand met us for dinner in a local restaurant;Rangitoto summit for morning tea - meant we

A customised trip: Steph and Chris get the royalwelcome at Bon Accord Harbour, KawauIsland.

With enough leaders, the hare and the tortoise, theyoung and the not so young are all catered for. HereAlistair checks that Margaret is ready to rock.

Tailor-make your trip. This winter one to Lake Taraweraincluded steamed pudding and hard brandy sauce, hot‘pools’, and a covered kitchen.

were home for a late lunch; Kawau Island - weinvited the troops to stay the night and watchthe rugby.

• Secondly PEACE OF MIND. It is reassuring forland lubbers to know that you are paddling

Thrills and Spills - Clifton toOcean Beach

S E A K A Y A K I N G

by Darryl Gibb

Sunday morning arrived warm and sunny with a soft breeze.

Eleven clubbies, three generations in all shapes and sizes

keenly anticipated a second chance to kayak from Clifton

round Cape Kidnappers to Ocean Beach, after bad weather

prevented our first attempt. Excitement was high. Gear was

stashed, hatches secured and equipment checked.

The surf looked civilized enough to guarantee most would stay dry whenlaunching. “Yeah, bring it on, we love it” summed up the mood of the group.No doubt everybody had their own agenda as to what they would get out ofthe trip: White water and open sea kayaking are adventure activities, hazardsand dangers are part of the attraction for those that undertake them. For me‘Pushing the boundaries’ is part of the appeal, for others it is about increasingor maintaining their skill levels and fitness or just ‘being there.’ Eighteenkms separated Ocean Beach from our starting point. Paddling that distancewould be an achievement in itself for most in our party.

We took the first leg, six kms to Black Reef and the famous Gannet Sanctuaryat a leisurely pace. The huge cliffs 1-2kms away watched over our progress.At Black Reef, we were met by the strong smell of guano (bird stuff!) Coloniesof gannets nested at the bottom of the cliffs and on rocks barely above hightide. Gannets swooped and soared, preparing for their nesting season. Tome this is one of the wonders of kayaking - being able to visit our recreationalwild lands in an unobtrusive way, having experiences not open to others.

Black Reef reaches out to sea more than a kilometre off shore, with interestingswells racing through gaps. Without hesitation, Gerald, otherwise known asa powerhouse, a man who can paddle all day, and his co-pilot picked a gap

and paddled through the reef. I watched his manoeuvre, good judgementand timing. I made the decision and judged it right as did most of the others.A little bit of excitement goes a long way. Later on someone who will remainnameless, told me laughingly how he almost lost the plot going throughBlack Reef.

Steve, our respected trip leader made a snap decision to bypass landing atthe Cape Kidnappers rest hut a kilometre further up the beach and get pastthe Cape before the wind built up. I didn’t hear him or he didn’t see me nothearing him, or my bladder makes me go deaf. Nature’s demands don’t alwaysfit in with kayaking.

Steve’s Bit We assumed Darryl was busting for some relief, but was not into relievinghimself in his kayak. He paddled ashore to the beach. We waited bobbingabout in the swells watching the waves smash up against the Panicle, a largerock, about 200 metres off the coast. A reef runs between it and the cliffs onthe shore.

Meanwhile back to DarrylI ended doing the perfect imitation of a Paul Caffyn landing and was readyingmyself for the others to get washed up when I saw a vertical paddle dancingup and down between the swells. I was beckoned to the fold. Mmmm, that’sstrange, wonder what they want? Paul Caffyn would have been so proud tosee my seamanship as I thrust through the waves on my way out to the motleycrew waiting patiently for me in the swell.

Steve’s BitOnce Darryl was back with us, Gerald and Robert in the Tandem went throughthe reef while I took the others out to sea and around the Panicle. It was aspectacular sight, the waves crashing against this huge rock. Definitely not

the sort of place you would wish to come out ofyour kayak. Back near the cliff face peoplethought about their stomachs. Philip suggested alikely sandy beach just down the coast about onekilometre, so on we paddled.

Back with DarrylBeneath papa cliffs a small flat sandy beach withgrassy sand dunes at one end was the chosenlunch spot. We had one casualty during thebeachings or should I say one beaching duringthe landings. During lunch the wind wasnoticeably stronger...

With appetites appeased we launched for the lastleg to Ocean Beach seven kms to the south. Thewind rose some more... I was last off the beachafter helping two members get out on theirsecond attempts. Both were driven sideways bythe wind and rolled by the waves. The wind rosesome more! My first attempt failed miserably,coinciding with a wave combo trickier than a bigMac! Created by an extremely strong gust of windthe combo bowled me. Fate for once spared meembarrassment because everybody had gone outbeyond the breakers, even Paul Caffyn.

My second attempt succeeded.A solid twenty to twenty five kph norwesterlygusting regularly made things interesting. Thechop could be sudden and a metre swell wasrunning. I was thirty metres in front of a seniorclub member when I heard a shout and turned tosee him capsize. Instantly I too was capsized by agust, which stunned me with its ferocity. To behonest I didn’t think about executing an EskimoRoll even though I had attended two courses notlong ago. The extra work entailed by a wet exitsoon bought home how important an Eskimo Rolltechnique is, especially when soloing. The wind

was blowing strongly off shore. Because I was onthe leeward side, every time I held the cockpitcombing, my boat capsized. Hanging on, I duckedunder my kayak to get to the windward side so Icould secure the cockpit with my feet while I blewup my paddle float. Meanwhile Philip waswarming up the sea with his bare legs whilehanging on to the back of his kayak. On my secondre-entry attempt I lost my paddle float because Ihadn’t secured it to my kayak nor paddle correctly.Mmmmm, naughty indeed. If anybody in Americasees a yellow....... This was my most serious lessonto date and emphasised how serious the situationwas. I yelled to Phillip, 30 m away to close the gapand raft up with me. The wind had blown us farfrom the shore. Ironically it was probably becausewe were too close to the shore that we had coppedthat freak gust. (Having hammered through thenarrows of Lake Waikaremoana last summer inwinds much stronger without tipping I triedanalysing why it happened to me. Unfathomable.)

At one stage, I can’t remember when, I signalledwith my paddle and luckily it was sighted, just...!

I got Phillip into his kayak, and then three of themore experienced clubbies arrived.

Steve’s BitI saw two kayaks upside down, and called thegroup to a halt.

I told the others to carry on while Dean, Jason, andI went to help. It was a hard battle against the windto get back to them. When we reached them,Philip was already in his kayak. Jason helpedDarryl back into his. By the time everyone wasready to paddle again the wind had blown us wellout, and down the beach. We battled back to ourget out point.

Darryl againThe experience was nasty and showed how easilythe outcome could have been different. If Phillipand I not been able to join and dock and if wehadn’t been seen, the question would have beenhow long can one last in a mid winter sea. Theother pertinent fact is kayaking’s greatest dangeris the offshore wind.

All’s well that ends well. Ocean Beach is a classiclong flat sandy beach, good as anywhere to walkmy kayak in.... bugger it. Paul Caffyn wouldpretend not to know me I’m sure. I’ll get it rightone day. Meanwhile, I had better enrol with Steve,my respected instructor, for some surf skills.

What did others get from this trip? Well, moststayed comfortable and dry; but I bet some ofthem thought their arms were going to drop offand they didn’t know they could paddle so longwhen feeling so stuffed; some would have beenrelieved to reach the shore. No matter what, allmust have felt a good sense of satisfaction withthe day’s achievement, and I congratulate them,especially those in their sixties, for they allfinished strongly. We were challenged. We wererewarded.

for a possible story or further comment. He

modestly said, “It was just an average day’s

fishing. I’m still trying to get one of the big ones

aboard. That would be a 40kg kingfish. When I

manage to spear one of those giants I’ll send

you the photo.” He then added a word of

warning for wannabe kayak spearfishermen “It

is a dangerous activity to practise with care,

respect and loads of self control.”

Meanwhile, let this photo wet your appetite -

O U T D O O R S W I T H

by Matt BarkerWhite Water KayakCamping the Modern WaySome of my favourite and most

memorable paddling trips have

involved packing my camping gear into

my kayak and heading off for a self-

contained overnight adventure.

I can remember doing this as a teenager and stillenjoy it over twenty years later. I prefer to not useraft support as the whole party can move at thesame pace, you have all your gear with you in caseof emergencies, and you do not need to get to apre-determined drop off before dark. I also relishthe self-sufficiency and freedom to explore thatthe ability to spend an extended period of timeon the river allows.

Boat choiceHistorically kayaks were longer and had highervolume meaning you could take more equipmenton kayak camping trips, however this space waslong and thin making it hard to pack many itemsand even harder to access. Modern kayaksactually have a lot of usable space, as they aredeeper with a lot of volume immediatelyaccessible just behind the cockpit. Modern creekand river runner designs are very usable for kayakcamping, particularly with some moderninnovations in compact camping gear.

What to takeIt is important to go compact rather thanlightweight, you really will not notice another kiloor two in weight, but you will notice when youcan’t fit everything in. Try to make your gear asversatile as possible; making things have morethan one use saves space and weight. Food alsoneeds to be compact rather than lightweight but

obviously there are limits and you probably donot want to drink olive oil neat. You will use uplots of energy on a multi-day white water trip sothings that have high energy value, for low volumeare good to take. Choose oily or fatty foods, sweetfoods and for carbohydrates, rice rather thanpasta. Modern packaging is a real boost to kayakcamping as lots of foods can be squeezed intoodd corners of the kayak, without additionalwaterproofing. A few items that immediatelyspring to mind are the tuna (in oil) sachets, mueslibars and salami sticks. I usually fit into oddcorners a few items of robust fresh fruit and veg,as these are waterproof and add variety to yourfood. I tend to not take a water bottle in order tosave space, as there is plenty of water all around.I try to find the smallest side stream to collectwater from, as this is least likely to becontaminated, and enjoy a free supply of sweet,fresh, spring water. In heavy rain conditions whenall the streams are running brown collectrainwater off your tarp or shelter. Using fine river-sand and water to do the dishes and using naturalmaterials for toiletry needs, all add to the senseof connectedness to the land and save valuable

space in your boat. My parties usually take twolarge tent fly/tarps between us, one to sleep underand one to use as a groundsheet, with paddlestied into A-frames, throwbags used as guylinesand kayaks as tent pegs, we can sleep groups of 8easily even on wet nights. Some of my groups havecooked solely on open fires to save carrying astove and fuel, as driftwood is very plentiful onthese wild rivers and a fire in the evening is goodfor the soul.

Packing gearYou need to decide which things you really want

to stay dry and pack these in good quality dry-bags. On my must keep dry list are sleeping bag,beanie, fleece top and pants and a few items offood. I don’t take a lot of spare clothes, as I don’ttend to use them. Packing things in dry bagswastes a lot of space so anything that does notneed to stay dry I just pack into the boat; I includeshelters, cookers and lots of food items in this list.You can usually fit things down the side of the dry-

bags and in odd places like down the side of andunder the seat. You need to make sure randomitems are not floating around in the kayak as thesecan get lost and it’s important that nothing hindersyour exit from the kayak in an emergency. Anoften-overlooked storage area in a kayak is thespace in front of the footrest especially withkayaks fitted with full plate. Remove the footrest,stand the kayak on its bow and pour in your gear,re-fit the footrest and your gear is held in placeuntil you take the footrest out. I tend to put heavyitems at the front as this helps to maintain thebalance of the boat as you have greater capacityat the rear. I try to arrange my gear so that I endup with a conical sausage of gear that resemblesthe shape of the stern end of the boat, then putan oversize dry bag in the boat and shove the gearin one item at a time. Don’t forget to use thepockets of your buoyancy aid for a few items youwant to keep handy, like snacks.

Before you goMake sure all your gear is in good working order,do any repairs or maintenance or treat yourselfwith a new one. If your current item of kit is on itslast legs, the middle of a 3 or 4 day trip is no timeto find out it will not last the distance. If you dotreat yourself, test your shiny new item out, tomake sure it works in the way you imagined. Alsoget together with your party and decide what

I S S U E T W E N T Y n i n e • 2 0 0 5 2 1

items you need individually and what you canshare between you. There is little point ineverybody taking a cooking pot or can opener.

Where to goThe North Island has some great rivers that canonly be paddled with an overnight stop, when thedistance between road ends is longer than a day’spaddle. This isn’t a complete list but givessomething for every grade of paddler.

Whakatane river grade 2, access off theWaikaremoana road.

Upper Mohaka, grade 2+/3-, 2-3 days dependingon exactly where you start, down to the take outabove the state highway 5 bridge. This trip has theadded incentive of hot pools complete with spapool and plumbing to relax in.

Ngarororo grade 3, two sections Boyd Hut toNapier Taihape road bridge 2-3 days and a 2-daysection below the Napier Taihape road.

Motu grade 4, 3-4 days, lots of rapids to keep theinterest up and great to paddle right out tothe ocean.

Being able to kayak camp allows you the freedomto adventure, to see what is in this section with noroad access, to explore and extend yourboundaries of the known.

Camping out of your modern white water kayak ispossible and will open up a whole new selectionof rivers. New Zealand’s temperate climate allowsyou to pack lightly and still stay warm andcomfortable. If you enjoy the simple life and arewilling to get close to nature there is no reason whyyou cannot be perfectly comfortable and want fornothing other than to hear the roar of the next setof rapids. Give it a try; you will be rewarded withpaddling new rivers and having uniqueexperiences that the day-trip paddler willnever see.

Before you go however, a word of warning. Do notpare-down or skimp on your safety and rescuegear as an extended wilderness kayaking trip iswhere you are most likely to have to be self-sufficient and sort out your own problems. Helpwill be many hours or days away. These factorsadd greatly to the sense of personal responsibility,teamwork and adventure during, andachievement and satisfaction on successfulcompletion of the journey.

HAPPY CAMPING!

A Hop, Skip and Jump -Tuakau to Takapuna

S E A K A Y A K I N G

by Neil Watson and Roger Crum

The Waikato River was barely visible

through the winter fog when the car

stopped at the top of the boat ramp.

The temperature plummeted inside

the cabin and sideways glances

exchanged. Suddenly the two paddlers

leapt out stripped off and pulled on

their gear while the support crew

stayed warm, emerging only for a photo

opportunity. Numb fingers struggled

with zips and hat straps. We finally

pushed off from the Tuakau Bridge

boat ramp at 7.10am. Visibility was

less than 50m but quickly improved as

the sun rose to a cloudy day without a

hint of wind and even less moisture.

The river surface mirrored the clouds

and trees lining the banks.

Conscious that we had to cover over 60km thatday, including a 10km portage, we took the mainchannel around Namuheiriro, Te WherangaOkapu and Kaiwaka No.2 Islands. The pumpstation passed and we soon closed on the water-

skiing club and sand depot at the ‘Elbow’.Downstream of the Elbow, whitebait stands dottedthe right bank. They varied from bare table sizedpontoons to large platforms with storage sheds.The day’s catch so far was nothing to talk about,but just being away from it all on a beautifulmorning with the dog and a few stubbies had auniversal appeal among the whitebaiters. Furtherdownstream the stands gave way to baches. Thestandard of real estate varied enormously; fromone room shacks to more palatial permanentaffairs displaying a selection of road signs.

The boats swung around the downstream end ofthe main Motutieke Island and between Puehunuiand Motukakaho Islands. Roger made a short cutvia a narrow shallow channel through KaiwakaIsland No.1 that took us past the Awaroa Rivermouth to the get out at Hoods Landing. This saveda kilometre and an upstream paddle of about0.5km. At 10am we arrived at the concrete boatramp at Hoods Landing, strapped on trolleys andretired to the carpark for lunch. An hour later thetrolleys were readjusted to balance the kayaksequally fore and aft before starting the 10kmportage to Waiuku. When planning the trip weconsidered reducing the portage distance bypaddling up the Awaroa but concluded thatdrainage and farm works rendered the riverbarely navigable, even by kayak.

The Awaroa portage between the Waikato Riverand Waiuku via the Awaroa River was well knownto early Maori. Once traders and missionariesintroduced wheat, potatoes and fruit to theWaikato, produce from Maori gardens wastransported by canoe down the Waikato River,carried across the portage and onto Auckland viathe Manukau Harbour to Onehunga. In 1853, 337canoes arrived at Onehunga during the yearcarrying £3,297 of produce. In the 1870’s andsubsequent decades numerous proposals weremade for a canal between the Waikato River andthe Manukau Harbour. These were finally laid torest with the construction of Great South Road andcompletion of the rail line from Auckland toHamilton.

The first 6km of the portage was straight and flatalong Hoods Landing Road and Otaua Road. Westuck to the right-hand side, to face oncomingtraffic. The remaining 4km climbed graduallythrough winding sections before descending toWaiuku and the Manukau. We made frequentroad crossings to stay on wider road shouldersand maintain an adequate sight distance forapproaching traffic. With more people on the trip,groups on the road would need to be limited to 2kayaks and well spaced to minimise the traffichazard. Two and a half hours after leaving HoodsLanding, we rolled into Waiuku Township. The

The put in at Tuakau Bridge boat ramp 7.10am departure.

name Wai-uku is drawn from local Maori tradition.The ancestor Tamakae, used ‘uku’, a soft whiteclay, to enhance his appearance and win the handof a Waikato chieftainess.

We reluctantly passed the Kentish Hotel, crossedKitchener Road to Tamakae Reserve and lunchedon the riverbank. The 95-year-old sailing scow,Jane Gifford, was tied up to the jetty on theWaiuku River. Her owner, a well-attired andcommanding woman, arrived for a chat. Sheoutlined her plan to use the scow for publicexcursions. This required upgrading the jetty areaand making the channel navigable at all tides. Wewished her luck and set off on the out-going tide,with a light south westerly and high cloud. Thedestination for the night was Awhitu Regional Parkabout 5km down the Awhitu Peninsula fromClarks Beach. As the river widened, the east-westtrending valleys on the left channelled theafternoon wind across our bows.

The chimneys of the Glenbrook steel mill furnacesappeared on the horizon well before we passedthe mill. A shell bank on the left was crowded withseveral roosting bird species. Closer inspectioncaused a crescendo of abuse as spoonbills, ternsand oystercatchers rose into the air. Thespoonbills banked and returned overhead,their distinctive bills thrust forward and legstrailing behind.

We stayed on the left side of the river to reduceexposure to the wind then cut across to Clarkes

Beach for afternoon tea. The yacht club entranceprovided shelter from the wind and verticallyoriented moisture. Conditions were still a bitdamp back on the water but cleared lateafternoon as the tide swept us northwards alongthe shoreline of Awhitu Peninsula into theManukau Harbour.

The Manukau Harbour is the second largestnatural harbour in New Zealand and was once(about 2 million years ago) a large embaymentopen to the Tasman Sea. The peninsula is a sanddune barrier formed by alternating phases ofdeposition and erosion. Maori tradition recordsthat about 300 years ago the side facing theTasman Sea was a large forested sand flat similarto the Whatipu sand flat today. The Harboursupports a rich and diverse estuarine flora andfauna. It is an important nursery area for fish anda major wintering area for migratory shorebirds.By 6.00pm with the Waiatarua masts andManukau Heads in sight, one of the teamconceded that we were lost. Resorting to the mapcase and interpolating between two adjacent butbarely overlapping sheets, the navigatorannounced Plans B and C; either paddle 9km backto Awhitu Regional Park or 1km further to OruaBay. After the briefest debate, we decided onOrua since the boats were already pointing in thatdirection.The setting sun penetrated the lowcloud and turned the water into a succession ofundulating black troughs and golden crests. The

coastline on the northside of the harbourentrance had longreceded into shadowwhen we ran out ofwater 20m off Oruabeach. A jovial middleaged Englishmangreeted us at thecamping ground. Hewas staying on site in acampervan to lookafter the place for theproprietor. Tents werepitched in the darkbefore we retiredto the showers andcookhouse.

The next morning wasfantastic; calm, nowind, no moisture orcloud, an incomingtide, the promise of asouth westerly at ourbacks and a shorterpaddle distance thanoriginally planned!We trolleyed the boatsover the Orua Beachtidal flat and aimed forPuponga Point at theend of CornwallisBeach.

Off the Point, 1m high white-capped wavesoccupied the channel. This section was crossedparallel to the waves with a few low braces in themore turbulent bits.

In windless glassy conditions we swung out of thetidal stream past Cornwallis Beach and northeastto Taumatarea and Langholm Points. Roger grewup here, spending time on the water, so he wasfamiliar with the coastline and harbour channels.A lone kayaker stopped for a chat. He was out forhis weekend exercise, paddling up current to

Langholm for the morning paper.

Cloud had descended and a light south westerlyrisen by the time we approached Green Baybeach. We trolleyed the boats one at a timethrough a tidal flat of soft deep black mud. A localon the Karaka Park coastal walk remarked, “Youshould have come ashore in the central area of thebeach where the sea bed is firmer.” (next time!).We washed muddy trolleys, legs and footwear andeased our bladders at the toilet block beforemanhandling the boats up the pathway to thesouth end of Portage Road.

The road was an original portage between theManukau and Waitemata Harbours for Maoriwaka. A pa on the headland above Green BayBeach controlled traffic. From 1850 variousschemes were considered to cut a 2-mile longcanal between Karaka Bay (now Green Bay) on theManukau and the Whau River. Proposalsincluded cuts up to 130 feet deep with locks,pumping stations and river dredging. As with theAwaroa Portage, the canal proposals lapsed whenthe rail line from Auckland to Hamilton wascompleted in 1908.

Including an ice cream stop the portage to theWhau River took about an hour. We were nowdeep in ‘Crum country’. Roger’s grandfather in1905 established brick and pipe works in NewLynn. His father carried on in 1929. The businesswas sold in the 1970s and Roger is now back thereshort term as Project Engineer managing a plantupgrade. CRUM bricks can be seen set in the floorof the Arataki Visitor Centre on Scenic Drive in theWaitakere Ranges.

The put in was on the right bank of the Whau Riverimmediately downstream of the Great North RoadBridge. The river used to be navigable by smallvessels and steamers to this point, but mangrovegrowth and silt now prevent this. We lunched on

the grass above the bank waiting for the tide toturn; then carefully slid each boat down the bank,one person at the top of the bank and the otherdown at water’s edge. The river is sheltered bymangroves over its upper reaches but becomesexposed downstream where the channel widens.We favoured the left bank’s protection from adeveloping cross wind.

A pit stop was needed at the Bridge Avenuemarina before passing under the North WesternMotorway Bridge and into the expanse of theWaitemata Harbour. We pointed northeast abovethe Motu Manawa Reserve to avoid the shallowsand set up for a surf down the harbour.

In a south westerly rising to 20 knots the boatssurfed 3km to the right of the port mark off TeTokaroa Reef (Meola) then lined up on the northabutment of the Auckland Harbour Bridge foranother 3km. We passed under the bridge amidheavy boat traffic. Briefly 2nd and 3rd in a yachtrace we were forced to give way to a somewhatlarger vessel before squeezing between the shoreand the northern bridge pier.

Beyond the bridge, traffic eased and the followingsea reduced. Sunday boaties were heading homefrom the gulf or playing in the harbour. We passedthe familiar landmarks of Stanley Point andDevonport Naval Base in quick succession. E421(Canterbury) with its white ensign flying was tiedup at the outer wharf.

The low symmetrical profile of Rangitoto Islandslid into full view around North Head. The tidecarried us past Cheltenham and Narrow NeckBeaches and along the Takapuna cliffs. On flatwater the kayaks nosed gently into TakapunaBeach. A Sunday walker generously agreed tophotograph the team before we strapped theboats on trolleys and completed the last 1kmportage home.

Press ReleasesOur rivers are under more pressure than everbefore. Even when rivers have been given theequivalent status of a national park, a WaterConservation Order, it does not seem to beenough. There are many hydro schemes on thedrawing boards, some of which (e.g., the GowanRiver and Kaituna River) are unfortunately edgingcloser to reality. Also, the Government hasproposed legislation that will potentially limit theability of the NZRCA to oppose some projects.

In response to this, the NZRCA recently joined Fishand Game, Forest and Bird and the FederatedMountain Clubs to form the Living RiversCoalition (www.livingrivers.org.nz). It is a timelydevelopment - the need for a united front hasnever been stronger. The Coalition also builds on

kayaking, fishing, to preserve biodiversity orscenic beauty. As part of the NZRCA’scommitment to the Coalition, we are askingNZRCA-affiliated clubs and/or individualmembers to volunteer to be contacts or helpersfor Living Rivers Coalition campaigns (includinga campaign to save the Gowan River, protectedonly two years ago as part of the Buller WaterConservation Order). Please provide Alan Bell,the NZRCA’s membership officer(membership@rivers,org.nz), with your contactdetails if you or your club are prepared to help.

If you have any questions on the Coalition and

NZRCA’s involvement please contact the North

The forum is based in an ideal location at Anikiwawith beautiful bush and directly on the foreshoreof Queen Charlotte Sound. Accommodation is inspacious bunkrooms.

Guest speaker David Winkworth will be talking ofhis paddling trips in tropical Australia. David wasawarded a bravery medal for his rescue of

attended a course on first aid in the outdoors over

two days in Taupo. Peak Risk Management ran the

course. The instructor for the weekend was Mark

(Buggie) Woods.

Arriving on Saturday we were thrown straight intoa simulated accident near the river. As yet noneof us knew each other. We were suddenly told totreat the victims. Mark had arranged them withgood imitation wounds such as bones sticking outof legs and stomachs hanging out. All of us had alittle first aid training, but we were to learnaccident site management over the next coupleof days.

The course was very good. Everyone interactedwell. Some shared explicit details of accidentsthey have had, or attended. We got to watchvideos with lots of blood. We are all expert nowon carrying out a ruptured spleen operation usingour river knives and a needle with thread. Anyvolunteer patients out there?

For two days we had classroom work with outdoorsimulations. We learned everything from vitalsigns, CPR, fractures, head injuries to spineinjuries and dislocations. The Taupo and Hawke’sBay Yakity Yak kayak club members can now feelcompletely safe when paddling with their tripleaders, knowing they have the knowledge totreat and manage most injuries until help arrives.

The Coalition was launched on Wednesday 15December. Hugh Canard, the NZRCA’s patron,gave a witty and poignant speech at the medialaunch - it’s well worth a read(www.rivers.org.nz/article).

The Living Rivers Coalition will launch its firstcampaign on 22 January, a signage campaign tohighlight the unhealthy state of many of our rivers.We are hoping that this campaign will raisepoliticians’ and the general public’s awareness ofthe importance of ‘living rivers’ whether it is for

Book Review

If you like action, adventure

and ‘tell it like it is’ stories

this book is for you even if

you are not a white water

junkie.

The style is edge of your seatcinema graphic stuff: the readergets to experience the excitement,get the pace, and feel the tension. Itis very descriptive, and even a non-kayaking adventurer would get aclear picture of what’s going on, andwait, heart in mouth to see whathappens next.

Reach for an atlas and you’ll seethat the Tsangpo gorge is in Mt

Everest country. It cuts through the eastern end of the Himalayas to form thedeepest, most remote river canyon on earth. Led by filmmaker Scott Lindgrenin February and March (that’s in winter!) 2002, seven of the world’s topexpeditionary kayakers paddled the furious currents and into the throat ofthe gorge. They survived.

It is obvious that author Peter Heller is himself a top-notch paddler - he useshis own experiences to shed light on the techniques, talent and skills of theseinternational river ‘cowboys’ and gives us ringside seats.

“Johnnie rolled up, slammed into the seething white pile of the next waveand disappeared. He was spat out the other side and rolled up again,terrified...Willie was cutting the air wildly, both arms up and straight, palmsfacing, frantically mouthing the word CENTRE!...Johnnie growled, spun his

HELL OR HIGH WATERby Peter HellerSurviving Tibet’s Tsangpo River

boat back to the right, aimed it straight down the river’s throat, and dug in.”

His writing also conveys the beauty, and captures the ballet of the paddler’smovements; the grace, poise and precision and applauds it.

“When they all glide out into the glacial milk green of the final pool, theyare in sync, like a bluegrass band...the paddlers have moved beyondathleticism, risk, discipline and sport into something rare and fine.”

Paddling is only half the story: they were forced to traverse a terrifyinglysteep mountain pass of snow and ice with their kayaks on their backs; haggleand argue with corrupt officials; stare downs violent, mutinous porters.

Interspersed with the account of the thirty-seven day epic, there are linkingstories of explorers and naturalists of the past, and campfire philosophy.

“Modern-day adventurers do much of what they do in creation of story. Thetales pour out at the fire; they are savored and added to. One man’s episodebecomes part of another’s repertoire, and the stories multiply andintertwine. It seems a wonderful, archaic way to live. Who lives like thatanymore? Hollywood subsumes more and more of that part of ourconsciousness and lures us into the gray smog of routine, of consuming andproducing, of a mass-produced narrative. We need adventures to create new,vibrant stories. It’s the blood of our humanity.”

The only aspect of the book I felt uncomfortable with and question itsnecessity was the in-house arguments and ‘tittle tattle.’

The author obviously did not believe in the ‘what goes on tour, stays ontour’ philosophy.

A map, photographs of the boys, and some of the action would be the onlyadditions I’d like to see. Perhaps I’ll have to see Scott Lindgren’s movie. Allup, I’d like to read the book again. It must be good.

I found a way to beat the rain.it happened yesterday.it was raining like the devilwhen I launched to have a play.

As if by devine magic,the rain, it did retreat.this great big ball appeared on highgenerating heat!!!

I’m not quite sure what it was.could it have been the sun?I vaguely recollect seeing itwaaaaaaaay back when I was young.

MAGIC by Lou Farrand

Alas it didn’t last for long,this morning’s wet and cold.Please God can we have some more,before I’m too damn old.

They speak of global warming.which globe is thus affected?surely not the one I’m onmore like, ‘’Ice age is expected.’’

I’m know the rain will ease off soonit’s waiting for the daywhen heaps of us go kayakingand scare the stuff away.

Campsite Hopping -Whitianga to Opotiki

S E A K A Y A K I N G

by Mike Scanlan

Trips are memorable for many reasons

- campsites can leave memories that

last longer than those of actual

paddling. On this trip we enjoyed some

fascinating locations - especially

sweet when taken in secret in the

midst of an unaware public.

John and I left Whitianga’s Buffalo Beach mid-afternoon after a long drive from Gisborne. Wehad a couple of hours of easy paddling in emptyboats past the scenic Cook’s beach, rockycoastline and the popular Cathedral Cove. AtHahei motor camp we were reunited with John’swife Lynn and all our gear and food. We werelucky to catch the toasted sandwich place justbefore it closed. There are not a lot of takeawayfood options at Hahei.

Next morning saw the start of the trip proper. Wehad 260 Km to go and I was feeling onlymoderately confident that we would get there. Pretrip enquiries with local paddlers indicated ascarcity of good landings/campsites. Warningsabout the Bowentown bar at the northernentrance to Tauranga Harbour foretold achallenge.

We launched from Hahei into a moderate swell,no wind, and blue skies. Great. The morning wasserendipity with rocky cliffs, coves, islands andan awesome cave/blowhole. Our digital camerasworked overtime. We paddled on past Hot Waterbeach without landing, as the surf was biggish anddumping. More cliffs followed, then lunchtimesaw us at the very appealing Boat Harbour. It isonly accessible by sea; has a small sandy beachand moored boats.

There was much activity in the ocean, with bigschools of fish engaging in mysterious andfrenzied antics, plus flocks of birds sitting on thewater or flying past.

In the afternoon we passed the suburbia of TairuaHarbour and Pauanui area, a contrast to OpoutereBeach and its beautiful long sandy expanse,where we landed.

Finding campsite number two was the next itemon the agenda. Behind the beach rose a bank andthen sand hills covered with scrubby bush.Oblique enquiries indicated a DOC antipathy tocamping because of nesting birdlife. We turneddown an offer from an ‘alternative’ group ofpeople in a big permanent camp to join them. Ourpreferred option was to surreptitiously drag thekayaks up the bank and into the scrub, smoothingout the drag marks of our kayaks behind us. Therewe pitched our tents, unseen in some bushes. Abeautiful evening and a still night with only thesound of the surf made us glad to be there.

Morning brought a bit of a shock. The moderatesurf was now BIG and impressive.

We studied it with care. John thought he saw a waythrough between ‘lulls’.

I considered time and distance between wave setsand saw probable carnage.

After packing up we decided on a risk reductionstrategy and dragged the kayaks a kilometre upthe beach where the surf seemed a bit smaller.Even using a set of wheels this was exhausting.Time to commit: John launched. After a few near

misses he was through. I was a bit behind and gotcreamed by a big wave that surfed me backwardsand over. A frustrating series of false startsfollowed. Waves swept up the beach behind mybeached kayak and swung me round. I had to getout, straighten the kayak, get back in, reset thespray skirt etc. Finally I got off the sand but thenhad to maintain position in the white waterwaiting for a lull in the big sets. It took ages butfinally I got through.

The morning was lovely and fine. We enjoyed theboost of a big following swell to Whangamata.Here the surfers were out in force but looked verysmall on the big wave faces. Our information wasthat the beaches further south had dumping surfso we decided on an early stop for the day hopingfor a dropping swell. Entry into the WhangamataHarbour was interesting, sneaking between thebig beach break and Te Karaka Point.

Inside the harbour we pondered the options forCampsite no.3. The motor camp was apparentlyacross town - no good to kayakers. There was avery appealing area of land just beside theharbour on the northern side - a quick kayak carryand we were hidden away just metres from themoored boats. With great satisfaction we spentthe afternoon lazing in the sun in our hideaway.

Next morning the swell was still big but haddropped. We paddled out of the Harbour anddown the coast past Whitiroa to lunch at Mataorabay. This has to be the most beautiful bay I haveever seen. It is just gorgeous. A walk up a grassyhill opened up views that gobbled up lots ofmemory space on the cameras.

Back on the water, we noted less fish and bird life,while the coastline progressively lost some of itsbeauty to become ho hum.

As we neared Waihi Beach on a biggish followingswell our landing options were not particularlyattractive. Surf pounded the beach and a distantarea of white marked the Bowentown bar and thenorthern entrance to Tauranga Harbour. Therewas a Surf Lifesaving Club and heaps of peopleon the beach near the bar. We imagined theircomments as our kayaks got closer to the impactarea. It was really difficult to evaluate. Weadopted a paddle-stop-look-paddle strategyworking our way further into the bar area withbreaking waves all around us.

We had decided to paddle the inside of the

harbour rather than outside Matakana Island sowhen we got to a point opposite the entrance weheaded in. A few bigger waves made us back-paddle to avoid disaster and then it was a big pushthrough the entrance against the strong outgoingtide. We ferry glided across the current, landedon the Island, relieved to have made it.

Finding campsite no.4 was the next issue. Storiesof night-time vigilante patrols in 4WD’s made uswary of camping on the Island. Churned up wheeltracks added to our unease, so we left the islandand paddled towards the back of the harbourlooking for a likely spot. Fosicking around along amuddy shore we found a great site hidden undersome trees. It even had a barnacle-covered bathfor John to pose in. The evening was suffused withthe satisfaction of completing a challenging day.

Although we made an early morning start to reachthe middle of the harbour at high tide and avoida long drag over the mud, it was still a challengeto find channels of water deep enough to paddle.We kept close to Matakana Island and only hadto drag the kayaks for about 20 metres. Hugeflocks of black swans flew up as we approachedthem.

By mid-afternoon we were at the Tauranga endpassing through the busy harbour entrance onbouncy water, trying to keep out of the way ofboats powering through.

Once around Mt Maunganui we landed. Peopleand High Rise Buildings persuaded us that themotor camp was not our scene. We re-launched!Surf at the beach meant we had to take care notto amuse the watching crowd. The beachstretched into the far distance with flat countrybehind and signalled a change of landscape forthe rest of the trip. By the time we got to PapamoaBeach my back was cramping up. John was fine.He had spent most of the day with his sail upwatching me paddle.

Campsite no.5 was the suburbia of the Papamoamotor camp. While we set up our tents a dragonlady approached to set us straight on our campingresponsibilities and the physical boundaries ofour site. I assumed she was camp staff andadopted a compliant attitude, but John had seenher come out of a nearby caravan and his bristlesrose.

That night we gorged on steaks at the local foodbar.

Next day the coastline extended in an unbrokenline into the distance. Lunch was at Newdick’sbeach just around the Town Point from Maketu.Getting around the Point and onto the beach tookconcentration. The beach was steep with dumpingsurf.

The coastline from here was away from the roadand made it difficult to assess where we were.

When we finally spotted vehicles we movedcloser to look for campsite no.6.

I saw a promising spot and suggested John landto investigate - there was no point in both of usgetting trashed by the surf. As John paddled in Iwas bemused to see a TRAIN pass right throughmy imagined campsite. It was surreal.

A bit further up the beach we landed and set upcamp amongst sand hills and huge lupin bushes.Large rabbit holes abounded, and there was amysterious railway building with a sign ‘Hauone’.

Next day we experienced ugly ‘beaches’ and theblack outflow of the Tarawera River (thanks to theKawarau timber mill). Lunch was at a featurelessbeach near Thornton and the Rangitaiki Riveroutlet. But the takeaways were good. Onward toWhakatane, where I called up the localCoastguard who could not see us among theswells, even when I described where we were.(Throughout the trip I kept in VHF radio contactwith local Coastguard operators, giving themmorning and evening updates of our progress,and found them to be unfailingly interested andhelpful.)

Campsite no.7 was a cove just around Kohi Point,between Whakatane and Ohope Beach. This is alovely spot but also a very popular destination viaa walking track from Ohope Beach. In the lateafternoon we sat on the beach trying to look like

day paddlers but soon got bored and set up ourtents. A vigilant local from a cliff top homepromptly arrived to do his duty and tell us wewere in a no camping DOC reserve. I regaled himwith tales of Tramping Club ethics of zero impactcamping and he finally, reluctantly left. Thatevening was particularly beautiful.

Day 8 saw us paddling in mirror calm seaconditions, although an extra large wave at 15minute intervals kept us from straying too closeto shore. Approaching the breaking waves at theWaioeka River bar off Opotiki, John woke himselfup by paddling through the middle of it. I didn’t

need the drama and went around. Johnperiodically disappeared amongst the breakingwaves but got through unscathed. Heusually does.

We landed just past the bar, with intentions of acampsite and a short last day to Opape, butdecided that re-launching in the morning wouldbe a problem if the surf got any bigger overnight.We carried on. The last 10 Km along the beach toOpape took most of our remaining energy, but thefeeling of satisfaction when we hit the sand andcompleted our trip was something money couldnot buy. Our arrival completed a journey between

Gisborne and Auckland spread over the lastthree summers.

Campsite no. 8 was at the Opape motor camp ina grassy paddock with few trees and campers. Itwas a million times more appealing than the oneat Papamoa.

The next morning our wives drove up to take ushome. We left in a rosy after-glow, which is stillthere when I reflect on the great time we had.
