Thread: Wet Day

Just spent 4 days wandering around in the clagg on the tops of the Kaweka's. Couldn't see from one snow pole to the next ........ and vowed on my way down to stay low for the next trip 2 days later.
So long story short, I'm just out from 4 wet days in a lower river valley catchment with water running out the bottom of my shorts. And river crossings were..... well, an exercise in testing experience
Cant win this summer

Used the last of my ancient "tin" of boiled linseed oil a few weeks ago. So bought some more. Tins are long ago out of fashion it seems
At $20, plastic must be more expensive than tin

I know the feeling: Halfway across and you say to yourself..." I really can't afford to fuck this up"

Half the fun of being in the hills is the vistas, so can be frustrating looking at the inside of a cloud for 4 days
