Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (10 April 2009), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
The track is truncated, but it took 6½ hours from the lower Taipo. We started on the true right, but it would have been better to start on the other side. Our route up the creek was constrained by high river flow, so normally it would probably be closer to the creek.
