Not really 4WD related, but thought I'd post it anyway (I don't get to brag about fishing 'cause I'm not into it! :lol
This weekend past I went White Water Kayaking on the Barrington River, near Gloucester, NSW.
My brother-in-law is a qualified white water instructor, although he works as an executive chef full time at the moment. I used to kayak and surf ski a bit as a nipper. He's been promising to take family members for an adventure weekend for ages - and he finally came up with the goods.
The Barrington River is a wonderful area - I'm looking forward to exploring it further in the future. We paddled from "Bindera" to "The Cove" through a number of rapids that were well up at the moment after all the recent rains.
I was very exciting, freezing cold (we left a watch with a thermometer in the water for two minutes, and it read 10°C!). Blasting down the rapids and rock steps was great fun, and a bit challenging. At one stage it started belting rain, then started with hail and sleet. Yeehar! :lol: Very invigorating.
The trip has piqued my interest in kayaking and I'm looking at getting back into it, and loosing some of my flab! :lol:
If you are after a bit of adventure, I would suggest you conisder kayaking the Barrington, there are a number of tour operators in the area, it's a great way to appreciate the great outdoors and get fit.
