    Did the hotpools on the way down to the Waiau in January. Found they mainly consisted of drowned sandfly soup and grey water But the whole of the St James area is amazing for recreation and access. The complete antithesis of most North Island public land.

    Had a dip in XR500’s sandfly soup pools, excellent, 2nd pool was perfect temp. Water was good XR, must have cleared up since you were thru.

    But then 8 zillion sandflies dragged me into the tussock & chewed the crap out of me.
    Damn they were thick there!

    Parked up off the track, zero neighbours, lovin it!
