just paddled it after big floods and no trees in the way except for the flat-water paddle (if you're paddling all the way to the bridge) and then there are lots of trees in the way but all negotiable.
Hey guys just a wee update
for the put in: Nikki is not there anymore the new guys name is Kevin, same number 027 271 1187
for the take out: it's a real mess at the mo and lots of machinery around and he'd rather no one used it until next weekend 19/02/11.
This should be spelt Waiari.
Definitely check with landowners well in advance as the kiwifruit Psa outbreak started in this area
There were some big trees in there, it was still negotiable with a bit of care. not sure what it's like after all the rain in the past 10 days.
Put in There’s been a change of manager at the put in orchard since
the previous one who didn’t care if we didn’t phone ahead. The new
managers name Nikki 027-2711187. She wants paddlers to phone her the
day before if they’re going thru. If you can’t get hold of her you
can try Simon Dickie, the owner, on 07-378-9680. They’re both a bit
touchy about it, so lots of please and thank yous would be good.
Would be a shame to get offside with them.
Take out This is still owned by Trent Ellison 5734839. He doesn’t
have an answer phone and often doesn’t answer the phone, so phone a
few days ahead to make sure you get him. He’s always happy for us to
go thru, but lets keep him onside too.
