Awsome day on the Hurinui. Slow to get there because the car decided to blow its air condtitioning valve. (Not even too sure that's what it was) ha but we had to keep refilling the water every 5 mins. We managed to get it fixed and head to the river! Luckily. Put in at the grade 2 so we could warm up as Tom (who hadnt kayaked much at all) was coming down with us. He had a swim after pulling into an eddy and failing his roll twice and drank a bit of water so that was no good. We got out at the put-it of Maori Gully so we could walk to the car and drive it back to the take out. Then we had to walk all the way back to Maori Gully put in to kayak that section. The day was getting on around that time and getting pretty cold but the river was at a good flow and had heaps of fun. Wicked Day!
