Thread: Anyone been up the godley in the last month or so

What's the tracks like ect is the macaulay crossing good

Hasnt been a lot of rain up there in the last 6 weeks,will be ok.But watch the rain in the next 3 days.Macaulay drains pretty quick tho.Big difference in crossing rivers tho if you in a low flying suki or a landcrusier tho.

Old man has just got out of there been up there last month or so doing pest work on the Macaulay and the Godley. Been crossing it no worries with his 4x4 Canter towing a big fifth wheeler

Cheers guys got a lifted sas'd surf so sounds like I shouldn't have too many issues

Just watchn the Rakaia river rising at this,moment.Rising at 1.146 mtrs/hour=about 45 inchs a hour and still rising at this rate.

Rakaia at 1350 cumecs = I probably wouldn't bother even considering going near any Southern Alps river for the next 5 days

Yeah the mid Wilberforce & Mathias were dry up until a few hours ago. Should drop just as quick, but as gimp said...stay away & let it drop.

Actually just managed to get a text through to old man today, he’s still up the Godley so hope he doesn’t get in ya way lol

Wont get up the Godley this weekend, too high.

How she looking after this, any chance of getting up there not this but next weekend? Have a couple keen NI fellas to test them hills. Or advice for a different location would be greatly appreciated, needs the alps factor

Bit snowy I reckon...got this photo from my mate in tekapo this morning

Don't go near it for at least a week , longer if this snow keeps up . All the big boulders will be covered in snow up the river bed
and I don't care how good your 4x4 is it would be rucked up in the first couple of km's .

Live in twizel and its snowy as at the moment all the big catchments will be out for a bit are you guys looking at doing a bunch of walking or wanting to drive in to a hut ect?

I know the place well,id wouldnt bother going there for a couple of weeks.Good time to wreck the best of 4x4 trucks.

Yea not keen to wreck a truck or become a statistic. Was keen to head up Macaulay and camp up on the sides, guess its onto plan B or C
