on Thursday Harvy and i went down the crooked. we intended on walking in 15 min to do the grade three but it had been raining all morning and the river was most defiantly in flood. we had never did it this high before (i could almost reach up and touch the yellow string across the river at lower put in) we decided we would run the lower part and scouting anywhere we were unsure about. all went well it did have some mallow bits were there used to be rapids but the bolder garden about half way was a bunch of holes and was supper cool booming down them. defiantly recommend it.

On Tuesday the 21st i went climbing at the sea cliffs by paynes ford with Kristy Kelly Harvey and Chris.
i hadn't climbed all summer so i got saw fingers quickly but it was good to get back in to it.
i also went climbing on Thursday in the gym at greymouth as apart of the alpine club, i'm keen as to go more this year.

On the 5th of February  a big group of ten second years from TPP went to the Toharoa.
We did the grade 3 walk in section.(40 min walk)
The river was low.
It was a cloudy day but was still hot.
We got out and scouted 3 rapids and Greg, Rata and Phil also gave us alot of advice on witch line to take and if anyone should portage the rapid.
this was my first grade 3 river and the most fun I've had on a river. It was great having Greg ,Phil and Rata to give me pointers on how i went and the line to take.This was also the first time i had used my new boat and paddle. I was a bit nervous at the start but then i banged out couple solid rolls on both sides then i was ready to go. cant wait to do my next grade 3.
