NickJ Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Checked the map, headwaters are further off the devide than I thought, worst of the rain will be through sat night at this stage, I agree, no worries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pic had me questioning that decision however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This little rain wouldn't have made the river any bigger ? @NickJ @Mof Today's rain is just on the east coast, will have little effect on the river. Tomorrow, the rain is set to start late morning with heavy falls from midday, this will make the river come up considerably. My current preference is to leave town 8am, hit the river about 10am and make efficient time up to the top crossing, hopefully at the hut by midday as the rain hits, there is about 1-3 hours of lag from the onset of heavy rain to the river rising so that is a little extra up our sleeve. If it at all looks like shits getting out of hand, turning around and heading home or camping on the riverbank will be in order. I quite enjoy being up in the hills for a good storm, so keen as to at least try, if we have to turn around 100m part the first gate, then thats OK, we'll rebook the key and try again.

NickJ Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 So how many trucks are coming? @JustHarry @Mof Had a few mates lined up but being in the emergency care industry has killed their chances of freedom for the foreseeable future 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
