Hi guys. Expect the water level to be up to your tender bits at this time of year. The Horomanga is typically about knee height, but with any rain within three days, expect the river to swell by about a foot. She's fairly swift in places, but if you get a window of a week without rain the river can fall to a gentle stream. As with going anywhere alpine at this time of the year, I suggest appropriate respect and preparation for mother nature. This river valley is a beautiful place to hunt, but it has caught me out before and if you don't respect Te Urewera, she just might shit on you. From memory it's about 2.5-3hours for a fit bloke to walk to Midway and the river crossings are about every 5-10 minutes. Good hut though and if you get nice weather, it'll be mint!!
Have fun guys. Who's still going then? Rushy, Barefoot and Phil?
Im out after reading that. Maybe next time guys.
Sorry I've been a bit out of touch, I've been hunting in the Kaimanawas.
Gibo - gutted you can't make it bro!!!
Rushy, Barefoot and Toby - if its how it plays out, the Minginui plan has my complete support. I look forward to heading back there.
Scouser - good to hear you are still keen!
Hunt4life - cheers for the info
Spudattack - Don't forget that the dates and all the info are on the first page
Im gutted too mate, got to put my new fam first. Still getting used to that concept;)
I only drink piss once or twice a week and when im hunting im a ninja so piss dulls my senses ill have you know!!!.Come down the Ruahines but don't expect to walk on flat easy rolling country side but youll ern every deer ya get and youll enjoy that shit out of yaselves if you can handle it;)Quote:

Let me know your thoughts.

Sounds like that could be a good idea. All the same, if my place is more central, you'd all be welcome to come to mine.Quote:
