Thread: Wire Bridge - Cattle Flat ( Blueys)

Going to hunt Cattle Flat (old Block 9 - then 8!) up the Blue Mountains.

Can anybody confirm if the wire bridge is still there?

(As you may guess I haven’t been there for a while!)

There wasn't one there between 2005 and 2014

I know!

I was hoping Mrs Finnwolf would be able to use the wire bridge as she is ‘cold averse’!

Take some old sneakers, and let us know how you get on

Wetsuit booties

I meant for keeping boots dry. Get through stream in old sneakers or what ever and then put ya nice dry boots on! But yeah for sneaking around in the bluesy dive booties will be ideal.

Great minds think alike!
We went down the ‘old sneakers for creek crossing’ idea, you should have seen the look on Mrs Finnwolf face when she first stepped into the Rankleburn and felt the cold water - and again when putting on the wet sneakers for recrossing on the return trip!

She’s now just back from The Warehouse with some el cheapo ‘Crocks’ for each of us for creek crossing duties.

No deer seen let alone shot, sign was there but wind was all over the place like a mad woman’s poos....did find a real big arse pig wallow, about the depth and length of the Grand Canyon.

Mrs Finnwolf is keen to head back for another look, fingers crossed we can find a deer next time..

Good stuff Finnwolf, its a nice block. I haven't hunted it for years. That wind is pretty typical for the Blueys in my experience.

The wetsuit booties would have helped with the crossing!

plastic bag over feet inside the crocs will help too...
great to hear you two getting out n about
it will only be a matter of time and the x39 will get the bizo done for you.

You going back in tomorrow Finnwolf? You'll have the permit for the whole weekend no doubt. You know you can access the block off Jacks Hill Road too eh? Come in from the top of the block for a bit of different country and keep ya boots dry!

Hilljacks Road I mean...

Thanks for the heads up and yes we HAD planned to go back tomorrow - until the ambo took 93 year old mum to Dunedin Hospital an hour or so ago.

It’s wait and see...
