Parties on the Perth

It seems a while ago now but we had 2 days of massive groups on the Wanganui and Perth.  Usually not my cup of tea, these days were magical with everyone in control and having fun. 

Although the rivers were low, there was plenty of whitewater and the scenery was awesome.  We chatted to a group of about 15 trampers up the Wanganui who loved watching our kayaks float past and hadn't been bothered by the helicopters taking us in.  In a time when I'm thinking about kayaking values, it was of note to me that the only marks we'd left were helicopter skid marks temporarily in gravel, while the trampers followed orange triangles along a worn trail and used permanent ladders to scale difficult parts.

I tried to get round people for interviews but it's proving to be impossible, so if you were there PLEASE do get in touch so we can keep in contact.

Cheers, Andy
