About uk_exile
Biography:
I'm not british. Its a username only! I'm a kiwi, born here, lived here 29yrs then due to work moved to UK late 1990s. Returned to NZ 2003. It was while working in UK that I chose my online username for all online stuff and have kept it ever since. It's not because of any connections or loyalty to UK. Have only been back once to UK since 2003 as part of an european holiday. Can't say I hated UK but certainly disliked the lack of freedom & was just there for work. It simply wasn't me or my happy place.
Location:
Havelock/Linkwater or Ashburton Lakes

    I have a hopper 2 polyester. Bit heavier at 2.5kg but plenty of room and has held up against some decent gales so far seems to be well made

    Good account of events. Reminds me of some of my adventures when younger. You just get wiser and better with age.

    Just remember those lessons will help in future hunts and if you keep at it the animals will soon come your way.

    Good wright up , My preference is to use a lightweight tent instead of a fly this time of year , wet & windy is a bad combo .

    Appreciate yr honesty-we all make mistakes but don't always own them, or learn from them, as you have. Good luck for the future!

    Great to hear you got out, and I've also discovered that a 'fruitless' trip is often a goldmine of experience that will serve you well in future hunts... some good reminders in there. Let me know...

    Great write up keep at it. It's always easier if you can tag along with someone else and learn a few trips. Sent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk
