Glorious Weekend Weather.

Well, the forecasters were spot on with their "blue skies and sun" prediction. It's been a very warm 26 degrees today and a definite taste of the summer weather ahead of us.

The animal kingdom is well aware of the benefits of cooling off in the river during hot temperatures and some sensible people are catching on as well. Plenty of people rocked up here bright and early to get out on the river.

Conditions for rafting are so good at the moment that we can run really long courses. It's still highwater season and when conditions are this good, it is possible to put in right by our base.

A quick paddle from there and you are straight into the churning rapids. On a day as warm as today, that first wave breaking over you is welcome refreshment.

Canyoning is a cooler option with more time spent in the water and as usual, people out strolling, enjoying the weather, were treated to the site of wet-suited lunatics hurling themselves off cliffs and waterfalls.

Today saw the opening of the new Flying Fox feature at Fox Canyon. The initiated, who have already managed to make it down this twenty metre monster waterfall, now have another rush (in every sense of the word) to experience.
