    Wet Ruahine Range Haul

    Had a fair bit of water in the Ruas the last few days.

    So instead of going up the creek I sidled a ridge in the rain.

    Spot on! Best use for a shower compartment. Always keep some bailing twine handy just in case

    Great effort in shite conditions. Enjoy the meat, that effort will make it so much more tasty and satisfying.

    GOOD EFFORT....wet days can suck but can also be really great day to be out in the hills...at least a fella doesnt overheat so much and the plurry wasps arent as active.
