OK Gibo, hit us with the where and when
Not dry now I see :) I'm keen for anywhere with minimal walking.
Hi guys. Expect the water level to be up to your tender bits at this time of year. The Horomanga is typically about knee height, but with any rain within three days, expect the river to swell by about a foot. She's fairly swift in places, but if you get a window of a week without rain the river can fall to a gentle stream. As with going anywhere alpine at this time of the year, I suggest appropriate respect and preparation for mother nature. This river valley is a beautiful place to hunt, but it has caught me out before and if you don't respect Te Urewera, she just might shit on you. From memory it's about 2.5-3hours for a fit bloke to walk to Midway and the river crossings are about every 5-10 minutes. Good hut though and if you get nice weather, it'll be mint!!
Have fun guys. Who's still going then? Rushy, Barefoot and Phil?

Sorry I've been a bit out of touch, I've been hunting in the Kaimanawas.
