9.30pm the doors and windows are wide open and still I feel like I need an ice pack, the new dog has been fed and the kids are asleep. Treffery is working on the computer down stairs and I’m in my office doing the editorial and a budget for one of the shops.

The scene is set...

Act One What makes me happy?

For each of the elements in Act One our friend compares them to a stream flowing into her life, represented by a pond. For a stream to continue to flow the bed and sides require maintenance or it will become blocked and slow down. The light went on in my masculine, practical but rather slow brain. Obviously you have to work at the important things in your life and put continued effort, time and resources into what makes you happy.

Act Three Have you heard it before?

The key elements are Treffery, kids, work and the new dog. Added to this are my father and mother, my brother and sisters and their kids, my aunts and uncles and their kids, mates and work colleagues, kayaking, cooking, fishing, camping, the night sky.

I agree with the saying “a rich man is one who is happy with what he has and a poor man always wants more.” How blessed we are having such a great sport to share with our kids, parents and friends in a great and beautiful country where dreams are free and realizable.

Act Two How do we keep happy?

A friend who has left the light side and moved over to the dark side (she has stopped kayaking and taken up deep sea diving “ Ha Ha”) was telling Treffery how she looks at life. This was then passed on to me and I think it is enlightening.

Yeah so had I, but this example sticks in my head and gives me a renewed focus and a huge degree of happiness.

The final Act I am sure that many people are very rich through the appreciation of what they have and of how blessed they are, to enjoy this great sport in this great country with their families and friends.

So #@%* the weather as it is always too hot, too cold, too windy or too wet! Get out there and be very rich.

Happy New Year and get those streams cleared.

Speights Coast to Coast 2005 - the toughest yet?

by Rob Howarth

The 23rd anniversary of The Speights Coast to Coast was a memorable one; the cloudless skies displayed the Southern Alps in all their glory. But for many the heat in the mountain made this year’s event the toughest yet.

In 2004 the majority of one-day competitors were air lifted off the mountain section due to adverse weather conditions. River levels were rising rapidly making river crossings extremely dangerous, it was even snowing at Goat Pass. This year couldn’t have been more different, river levels were low and the sun was shining, temperatures leading up to Goat Pass were at least 35 degrees C - It was HOT damn HOT! Of course that kind of extreme heat takes its toll on the body and with the exception of perhaps the top athletes who cover the mountain stage in approx. 3 hrs, most competitors were slower than expected and were suffering at the end of the day!

Race Director Robin Judkins had worked hard during the year to attract a top field from around the world and the inaugural ‘World Teams Challenge’ saw competitors from seven countries pit their wits against each other in the one day event. In the two-day teams Ben Fouhy and Jonathon Wyatt (world kayaking & mountain running champions respectively) teamed

8

ISSUE TWENTYn

together to take on the mighty Causer brothers.

Fouhy & Wyatt running out winners by 18 mins.

We all expected Fouhy to be quick on the river but it was a sight to see him sprinting along the stony bank of the Waimakarere, at Mount White Bridge, at the tail end of the field (due to a staggered cycle start) only to pass all but Luke Vaughn on the river!

Luke Vaughn won the individual two day event with an impressive performance. He is a 20 year old student with many years racing ahead of him and will no doubt be a force to be reckoned with in the one day race in years to come.

In The Longest Day Richard Usher out smarted the field to claim first place whilst Kristina Anglem (nee Strode Penney) claimed the women’s title for the second year running with a blistering time of 12:23 finishing in 6th place overall (in other words there were only 5 blokes in front of her!!).

But this event is not just about the supermen and women of the multisport world, The Speights Coast to Coast attracts competitors of all shapes, sizes and ages. The youngest competitor this year was 17 while the oldest 67. As a first timer myself this year (in the 2- day team event with Gordon Daglish) I was in awe of the fitness and dedication of competitors, many of whom we have taught to kayak over the past few years. For those of you who have secretly desired to compete but thought you were not fit enough, think again. The results section contains nearly 900 names most of whom

ine • 2005

had little or no kayaking or multisport experience prior to entering The Speights Coast to Coast. The event is a personal challenge which drives you in the months leading in, the atmosphere is infectious during the race, the camaraderie uplifting. It truly is New Zealand’s premier multisport race.

Finally a special mention goes to Mark Pollock from Ireland who entered the 2-day individual event. Mark has been blind since the age of 19 and was the first blind competitor to take on the Southern Alps. The plan was to tandem cycle & kayak and to be led up the mountain. Now, to those of you who are not familiar with the mountain stage let me tell you that it is tough enough with both eyes open! Mark made it to Goat Pass but had run out of time and had to be airlifted off the mountain. Although disappointed not to finish he was philosophical after the race ‘If it wasn’t for those bloody boulders’. My sentiments exactly Mark! If Mark can give it a go so can YOU see you there in 2006.

Rocks and Reflections - Paddling those Dam Lakes.

by Jenny Harper Labour weekend saw five Taranaki YYK clubbies (Bronnie, Karen, Ruth, Walter and Jenny) converge on Mangakino with a plan to paddle Lakes Maraetai, Whakamaru and Waipapa, the middle three of the eight Waikato dam lakes.

Saturday was perfect, overcast and calm, as we paddled up Lake Maraetai, under the HWY 30 road bridge and into the Mangakino Stream. Local residents had previously told us about this magical ‘Lost World’. We were not disappointed. We paddled up a drowned river canyon hemmed in between spectacular cliffs of grey rock tinged with pink and white, clothed with regenerating native trees and ferns.

The cliffs resulted from volcanic eruption 300,000 years ago in the Taupo North West Bays area. Vast amounts of superheated ash, gas and pumice swept across the land at great speed, cooling to form the distinctive, vertically jointed rock known as Whakamaru ignimbrite, visible today. For an hour we paddled quietly upstream, entranced by the cliffs, the unexpectedly prolific birdlife and stunning reflections in the dark still water.

At one point we had to paddle through a ‘Sargasso Sea’ of floating lake weed, pumice stones and discarded plastic rubbish back-eddied from the lake, a sad reminder of human impact on our natural environment. Three kilometres upstream from the bridge the cliffs blend into open farmland and the river narrows into a gut leading to a rapid. We turned and drifted downstream exploring two hidden sidestream ravines on our paddle home to the lodge.

On Sunday we paddled the lower half of Lake Whakamaru, past rolling hills, farmland and pine forest, pockets of pungas and kowhai, under towering volcanic cliffs. We spent this very rainy day paddling close to the shoreline identifying native trees and plants, looking at waterfalls and searching without success for a little lake-edge hot water spring we’d been told about.

On Monday, we drove to Lake Waipapa to paddle the Waipapa River. It enters the lake half a kilometre upstream of the dam. From our Topo map it seemed we could paddle quite a long way up. We launched at the lake edge, and paddled up to and under the road bridge into the river.

Bronnie gave us a quick lesson on handling water hydraulics, and then one by one we followed as she led the way through the fast running shallows under the bridge. Regrouping in the still water, we paddled upstream

Dwarfed by the cliffs, Mangakino stream

alongside pine forest and native scrub enjoying the calm sunny morning, the reflections in the water and the sight and sound of kingfishers, fantails, grey warblers and tuis.

We had barely paddled a kilometre when the river narrowed. Eddies and foam spirals formed in the quickening current, and we could hear a lot of rushing water around the next bend. This turned out to be a very extensive rapid suitable only for experienced white water kayakers. We pulled into a little silt beach and explored alongside the rapid on foot, Bronnie and Karen discussed ways it could be run.

Not for us sea kayakers though! We returned to the lake for a short paddle upstream past the uninspiring bare hillsides and debris of harvested trees.

We returned to the lodge, packed up and headed for home, content with a weekend of relaxed paddling and small group camaraderie on and off the water.

Our base for the weekend was a 40 bed lodge at the Lake Maraetai Rowing Club complex on the lake edge at Mangakino. It offers superb, secure accommodation for groups at $10 pp per night, with excellent kitchen, dining, bathroom and bunkroom facilities above boat storage and gear drying facilities. Custodian contact is Peter Thomas, Korari Crescent, Mangakino 2391 ph 07 8828809.

I am still pondering the volcanic forces that created this landscape, and speculating on what the cliffs and gorges looked like before the dams flooded and drowned the river valleys of the Waikato, Mangakino and Waipapa.

The Waikato dams and lakes are managed by Mighty River Power, their website www.mightyriverpower.co.nz includes the construction history of the dams as well as info on lake levels, hydro spills and recreational access.

Seasons Pass

by Ruth E. Henderson Have you ever wracked your brains as how to extend your occasional Day or Weekend Paddling Pass?

the one club trip a year has steadily escalated to three, then six, and last season leapt to eighteen.

All without a word of complaint from the nonkayaking household member.

Wrack no longer. Here is the perfect solution.

Become a leader and get a Seasons Pass. Since kayaking is a year round sport in New Zealand, this is in effect a yearlong ticket.

•

Part of this acceptance is due to:

It works for me. In the four years since I went on my first trip with the Northshore Yakity Yak Club,

Firstly as a leader you get to TAILOR-MAKE your days or weekends on the water. This means that you can pander to your family sometimes, and design days in which they can participate or in turn you can support such trips.

A few classic cases last year were: Tawharanui Open Sanctuary base camp - some joined in on the tree planting; Wenderholm to Warkworth - some met for lunch in a Café; Otamure and Mimiwhangata base camps some participants spent their days walking and swimming, never touching a paddle; Raglan Harbour - my beloved surprised me and met us for dinner in a local restaurant; Rangitoto summit for morning tea - meant we

with other folk who all know how to do a self rescue and an assisted rescue; that amongst the group there is a heap of safety gear - split paddles, tow ropes, VHF’s, high visibility hats and flags, first aid kits...

•

As the club - yours or mine gets more leaders, other advantages occur:

• •

•

•

A customised trip: Steph and Chris get the royal welcome at Bon Accord Harbour, Kawau Island.

•

•

12

ISSUE TWENTYn

•

You ‘push the envelope’ and extend yourself, secure in the knowledge that competent people surround you.

The safety ratio of 1 leader: 6 followers is exceeded. On the Devonshire morning tea trip to Rangitoto we had 44 people on the water.

This could have been a nightmare - but with ample leaders we had 6 pods with two leaders each. That’s 1 : 3.6. That’s magnificant.

Several trips can be run concurrently. Last Queens Birthday weekend, we had treble billing with three trips on, stretched between the Waikato and Northland with between 9 and 19 people each.

A plethora of leaders on any organised outing also means different variations on a theme can occur on any day. The weather, surf or swell, paddler’s ability or inclination on the day can all be taken into account with cruisers to racers and the bods in between all catered for.

Great friendships develop. After spending several days a year practising rescuing each other in often inhospitable and cold surroundings and conditions, you get to know each other well.

Spontaneous teaching sessions or practices happen. This occurred over Waitangi weekend at Mimiwhangata when we had 33 people on the water. Clusters of paddlers voluntarily practised rescues and rolling every day and on the last day, those skilled at surfing taught and supervised the rest of us.

were home for a late lunch; Kawau Island - we invited the troops to stay the night and watch the rugby.

As Christine Watson said after the Mimiwhangata weekend which she and husband Neil organised, “this was the club, operating at its best.” And my club, your club will continue to do so, as long as we continue to train new leaders. Hey, if someone suggests that you come on board, DO IT, and have a ripper of a year.

Secondly PEACE OF MIND. It is reassuring for land lubbers to know that you are paddling

Contact your nearest Canoe and Kayak shop for information on their Leaders training courses.

Tailor-make your trip. This winter one to Lake Tarawera included steamed pudding and hard brandy sauce, hot ‘pools’, and a covered kitchen.

With enough leaders, the hare and the tortoise, the young and the not so young are all catered for. Here Alistair checks that Margaret is ready to rock.

Thirdly there is acceptance that you NEED TO PRACTISE, keep on top of your sport, need to show the flag and support other leaders, especially on their first master-minded trip.

Thrills and Spills - Clifton to Ocean Beach

by Darryl Gibb

Clifton

Sunday morning arrived warm and sunny with a soft breeze.

Eleven clubbies, three generations in all shapes and sizes keenly anticipated a second chance to kayak from Clifton round Cape Kidnappers to Ocean Beach, after bad weather prevented our first attempt. Excitement was high. Gear was stashed, hatches secured and equipment checked.

The surf looked civilized enough to guarantee most would stay dry when launching. “Yeah, bring it on, we love it” summed up the mood of the group.

No doubt everybody had their own agenda as to what they would get out of the trip: White water and open sea kayaking are adventure activities, hazards and dangers are part of the attraction for those that undertake them. For me ‘Pushing the boundaries’ is part of the appeal, for others it is about increasing or maintaining their skill levels and fitness or just ‘being there.’ Eighteen kms separated Ocean Beach from our starting point. Paddling that distance would be an achievement in itself for most in our party.

and paddled through the reef. I watched his manoeuvre, good judgement and timing. I made the decision and judged it right as did most of the others.

A little bit of excitement goes a long way. Later on someone who will remain nameless, told me laughingly how he almost lost the plot going through Black Reef.

Steve, our respected trip leader made a snap decision to bypass landing at the Cape Kidnappers rest hut a kilometre further up the beach and get past the Cape before the wind built up. I didn’t hear him or he didn’t see me not hearing him, or my bladder makes me go deaf. Nature’s demands don’t always fit in with kayaking.

Steve’s Bit We assumed Darryl was busting for some relief, but was not into relieving himself in his kayak. He paddled ashore to the beach. We waited bobbing about in the swells watching the waves smash up against the Panicle, a large rock, about 200 metres off the coast. A reef runs between it and the cliffs on the shore.

Meanwhile back to Darryl

We took the first leg, six kms to Black Reef and the famous Gannet Sanctuary at a leisurely pace. The huge cliffs 1-2kms away watched over our progress.

At Black Reef, we were met by the strong smell of guano (bird stuff!) Colonies of gannets nested at the bottom of the cliffs and on rocks barely above high tide. Gannets swooped and soared, preparing for their nesting season. To me this is one of the wonders of kayaking - being able to visit our recreational wild lands in an unobtrusive way, having experiences not open to others.

I ended doing the perfect imitation of a Paul Caffyn landing and was readying myself for the others to get washed up when I saw a vertical paddle dancing up and down between the swells. I was beckoned to the fold. Mmmm, that’s strange, wonder what they want? Paul Caffyn would have been so proud to see my seamanship as I thrust through the waves on my way out to the motley crew waiting patiently for me in the swell.

Black Reef reaches out to sea more than a kilometre off shore, with interesting swells racing through gaps. Without hesitation, Gerald, otherwise known as a powerhouse, a man who can paddle all day, and his co-pilot picked a gap

Once Darryl was back with us, Gerald and Robert in the Tandem went through the reef while I took the others out to sea and around the Panicle. It was a spectacular sight, the waves crashing against this huge rock. Definitely not

the sort of place you would wish to come out of your kayak. Back near the cliff face people thought about their stomachs. Philip suggested a likely sandy beach just down the coast about one kilometre, so on we paddled.

Back with Darryl Beneath papa cliffs a small flat sandy beach with grassy sand dunes at one end was the chosen lunch spot. We had one casualty during the beachings or should I say one beaching during the landings. During lunch the wind was noticeably stronger...

With appetites appeased we launched for the last leg to Ocean Beach seven kms to the south. The wind rose some more... I was last off the beach after helping two members get out on their second attempts. Both were driven sideways by the wind and rolled by the waves. The wind rose some more! My first attempt failed miserably, coinciding with a wave combo trickier than a big Mac! Created by an extremely strong gust of wind the combo bowled me. Fate for once spared me embarrassment because everybody had gone out beyond the breakers, even Paul Caffyn.

My second attempt succeeded.

A solid twenty to twenty five kph norwesterly gusting regularly made things interesting. The chop could be sudden and a metre swell was running. I was thirty metres in front of a senior club member when I heard a shout and turned to see him capsize. Instantly I too was capsized by a gust, which stunned me with its ferocity. To be honest I didn’t think about executing an Eskimo Roll even though I had attended two courses not long ago. The extra work entailed by a wet exit soon bought home how important an Eskimo Roll technique is, especially when soloing. The wind

was blowing strongly off shore. Because I was on the leeward side, every time I held the cockpit combing, my boat capsized. Hanging on, I ducked under my kayak to get to the windward side so I could secure the cockpit with my feet while I blew up my paddle float. Meanwhile Philip was warming up the sea with his bare legs while hanging on to the back of his kayak. On my second re-entry attempt I lost my paddle float because I hadn’t secured it to my kayak nor paddle correctly.

Mmmmm, naughty indeed. If anybody in America sees a yellow....... This was my most serious lesson to date and emphasised how serious the situation was. I yelled to Phillip, 30 m away to close the gap and raft up with me. The wind had blown us far from the shore. Ironically it was probably because we were too close to the shore that we had copped that freak gust. (Having hammered through the narrows of Lake Waikaremoana last summer in winds much stronger without tipping I tried analysing why it happened to me. Unfathomable.)

At one stage, I can’t remember when, I signalled with my paddle and luckily it was sighted, just...!

I got Phillip into his kayak, and then three of the more experienced clubbies arrived.

Steve’s Bit I saw two kayaks upside down, and called the group to a halt.

I told the others to carry on while Dean, Jason, and I went to help. It was a hard battle against the wind to get back to them. When we reached them, Philip was already in his kayak. Jason helped Darryl back into his. By the time everyone was ready to paddle again the wind had blown us well out, and down the beach. We battled back to our get out point.

Darryl again The experience was nasty and showed how easily the outcome could have been different. If Phillip and I not been able to join and dock and if we hadn’t been seen, the question would have been how long can one last in a mid winter sea. The other pertinent fact is kayaking’s greatest danger is the offshore wind.

All’s well that ends well. Ocean Beach is a classic long flat sandy beach, good as anywhere to walk my kayak in.... bugger it. Paul Caffyn would pretend not to know me I’m sure. I’ll get it right one day. Meanwhile, I had better enrol with Steve, my respected instructor, for some surf skills.

What did others get from this trip? Well, most stayed comfortable and dry; but I bet some of them thought their arms were going to drop off and they didn’t know they could paddle so long when feeling so stuffed; some would have been relieved to reach the shore. No matter what, all must have felt a good sense of satisfaction with the day’s achievement, and I congratulate them, especially those in their sixties, for they all finished strongly. We were challenged. We were rewarded.

A Modest Fisherman When Pablo Campano sent in a photo of what I considered a great day’s catch I contacted him for a possible story or further comment. He modestly said, “It was just an average day’s fishing. I’m still trying to get one of the big ones aboard. That would be a 40kg kingfish. When I manage to spear one of those giants I’ll send you the photo.” He then added a word of warning for wannabe kayak spearfishermen “It is a dangerous activity to practise with care, respect and loads of self control.”

White Water Kayak Camping the Modern Way

by Matt Barker

Some of my favourite and most memorable paddling trips have involved packing my camping gear into my kayak and heading off for a selfcontained overnight adventure.

I can remember doing this as a teenager and still enjoy it over twenty years later. I prefer to not use raft support as the whole party can move at the same pace, you have all your gear with you in case of emergencies, and you do not need to get to a pre-determined drop off before dark. I also relish the self-sufficiency and freedom to explore that the ability to spend an extended period of time on the river allows.

Boat choice Historically kayaks were longer and had higher volume meaning you could take more equipment on kayak camping trips, however this space was long and thin making it hard to pack many items and even harder to access. Modern kayaks actually have a lot of usable space, as they are deeper with a lot of volume immediately accessible just behind the cockpit. Modern creek and river runner designs are very usable for kayak camping, particularly with some modern innovations in compact camping gear.

obviously there are limits and you probably do not want to drink olive oil neat. You will use up lots of energy on a multi-day white water trip so things that have high energy value, for low volume are good to take. Choose oily or fatty foods, sweet foods and for carbohydrates, rice rather than pasta. Modern packaging is a real boost to kayak camping as lots of foods can be squeezed into odd corners of the kayak, without additional waterproofing. A few items that immediately spring to mind are the tuna (in oil) sachets, muesli bars and salami sticks. I usually fit into odd corners a few items of robust fresh fruit and veg, as these are waterproof and add variety to your food. I tend to not take a water bottle in order to save space, as there is plenty of water all around.

I try to find the smallest side stream to collect water from, as this is least likely to be contaminated, and enjoy a free supply of sweet, fresh, spring water. In heavy rain conditions when all the streams are running brown collect rainwater off your tarp or shelter. Using fine riversand and water to do the dishes and using natural materials for toiletry needs, all add to the sense of connectedness to the land and save valuable

What to take It is important to go compact rather than lightweight, you really will not notice another kilo or two in weight, but you will notice when you can’t fit everything in. Try to make your gear as versatile as possible; making things have more than one use saves space and weight. Food also needs to be compact rather than lightweight but

space in your boat. My parties usually take two large tent fly/tarps between us, one to sleep under and one to use as a groundsheet, with paddles tied into A-frames, throwbags used as guylines and kayaks as tent pegs, we can sleep groups of 8 easily even on wet nights. Some of my groups have cooked solely on open fires to save carrying a stove and fuel, as driftwood is very plentiful on these wild rivers and a fire in the evening is good for the soul.

Packing gear You need to decide which things you really want

to stay dry and pack these in good quality drybags. On my must keep dry list are sleeping bag, beanie, fleece top and pants and a few items of food. I don’t take a lot of spare clothes, as I don’t tend to use them. Packing things in dry bags wastes a lot of space so anything that does not need to stay dry I just pack into the boat; I include shelters, cookers and lots of food items in this list.

You can usually fit things down the side of the dry-

bags and in odd places like down the side of and under the seat. You need to make sure random items are not floating around in the kayak as these can get lost and it’s important that nothing hinders your exit from the kayak in an emergency. An often-overlooked storage area in a kayak is the space in front of the footrest especially with kayaks fitted with full plate. Remove the footrest, stand the kayak on its bow and pour in your gear, re-fit the footrest and your gear is held in place until you take the footrest out. I tend to put heavy items at the front as this helps to maintain the balance of the boat as you have greater capacity at the rear. I try to arrange my gear so that I end up with a conical sausage of gear that resembles the shape of the stern end of the boat, then put an oversize dry bag in the boat and shove the gear in one item at a time. Don’t forget to use the pockets of your buoyancy aid for a few items you want to keep handy, like snacks.

Before you go Make sure all your gear is in good working order, do any repairs or maintenance or treat yourself with a new one. If your current item of kit is on its last legs, the middle of a 3 or 4 day trip is no time to find out it will not last the distance. If you do treat yourself, test your shiny new item out, to make sure it works in the way you imagined. Also get together with your party and decide what

items you need individually and what you can share between you. There is little point in everybody taking a cooking pot or can opener.

Motu grade 4, 3-4 days, lots of rapids to keep the interest up and great to paddle right out to the ocean.

Where to go

Being able to kayak camp allows you the freedom to adventure, to see what is in this section with no road access, to explore and extend your boundaries of the known.

The North Island has some great rivers that can only be paddled with an overnight stop, when the distance between road ends is longer than a day’s paddle. This isn’t a complete list but gives something for every grade of paddler.

Whakatane river grade 2, access off the Waikaremoana road.

Upper Mohaka, grade 2+/3-, 2-3 days depending on exactly where you start, down to the take out above the state highway 5 bridge. This trip has the added incentive of hot pools complete with spa pool and plumbing to relax in.

Ngarororo grade 3, two sections Boyd Hut to Napier Taihape road bridge 2-3 days and a 2-day section below the Napier Taihape road.

Camping out of your modern white water kayak is possible and will open up a whole new selection of rivers. New Zealand’s temperate climate allows you to pack lightly and still stay warm and comfortable. If you enjoy the simple life and are willing to get close to nature there is no reason why you cannot be perfectly comfortable and want for nothing other than to hear the roar of the next set of rapids. Give it a try; you will be rewarded with paddling new rivers and having unique experiences that the day-trip paddler will never see.

Before you go however, a word of warning. Do not pare-down or skimp on your safety and rescue gear as an extended wilderness kayaking trip is where you are most likely to have to be selfsufficient and sort out your own problems. Help will be many hours or days away. These factors add greatly to the sense of personal responsibility, teamwork and adventure during, and achievement and satisfaction on successful completion of the journey.

HAPPY CAMPING!

A Hop, Skip and Jump Tuakau to Takapuna The Waikato River was barely visible through the winter fog when the car stopped at the top of the boat ramp.

The temperature plummeted inside the cabin and sideways glances exchanged. Suddenly the two paddlers leapt out stripped off and pulled on their gear while the support crew stayed warm, emerging only for a photo opportunity. Numb fingers struggled with zips and hat straps. We finally pushed off from the Tuakau Bridge boat ramp at 7.10am. Visibility was less than 50m but quickly improved as the sun rose to a cloudy day without a hint of wind and even less moisture.

The river surface mirrored the clouds and trees lining the banks.

Conscious that we had to cover over 60km that day, including a 10km portage, we took the main channel around Namuheiriro, Te Wheranga Okapu and Kaiwaka No.2 Islands. The pump station passed and we soon closed on the water-

skiing club and sand depot at the ‘Elbow’.

Downstream of the Elbow, whitebait stands dotted the right bank. They varied from bare table sized pontoons to large platforms with storage sheds.

The day’s catch so far was nothing to talk about, but just being away from it all on a beautiful morning with the dog and a few stubbies had a universal appeal among the whitebaiters. Further downstream the stands gave way to baches. The standard of real estate varied enormously; from one room shacks to more palatial permanent affairs displaying a selection of road signs.

The boats swung around the downstream end of the main Motutieke Island and between Puehunui and Motukakaho Islands. Roger made a short cut via a narrow shallow channel through Kaiwaka Island No.1 that took us past the Awaroa River mouth to the get out at Hoods Landing. This saved a kilometre and an upstream paddle of about 0.5km. At 10am we arrived at the concrete boat ramp at Hoods Landing, strapped on trolleys and retired to the carpark for lunch. An hour later the trolleys were readjusted to balance the kayaks equally fore and aft before starting the 10km portage to Waiuku. When planning the trip we considered reducing the portage distance by paddling up the Awaroa but concluded that drainage and farm works rendered the river barely navigable, even by kayak.

by Neil Watson and Roger Crum The Awaroa portage between the Waikato River and Waiuku via the Awaroa River was well known to early Maori. Once traders and missionaries introduced wheat, potatoes and fruit to the Waikato, produce from Maori gardens was transported by canoe down the Waikato River, carried across the portage and onto Auckland via the Manukau Harbour to Onehunga. In 1853, 337 canoes arrived at Onehunga during the year carrying £3,297 of produce. In the 1870’s and subsequent decades numerous proposals were made for a canal between the Waikato River and the Manukau Harbour. These were finally laid to rest with the construction of Great South Road and completion of the rail line from Auckland to Hamilton.

The first 6km of the portage was straight and flat along Hoods Landing Road and Otaua Road. We stuck to the right-hand side, to face oncoming traffic. The remaining 4km climbed gradually through winding sections before descending to Waiuku and the Manukau. We made frequent road crossings to stay on wider road shoulders and maintain an adequate sight distance for approaching traffic. With more people on the trip, groups on the road would need to be limited to 2 kayaks and well spaced to minimise the traffic hazard. Two and a half hours after leaving Hoods Landing, we rolled into Waiuku Township. The

name Wai-uku is drawn from local Maori tradition.

The ancestor Tamakae, used ‘uku’, a soft white clay, to enhance his appearance and win the hand of a Waikato chieftainess.

We reluctantly passed the Kentish Hotel, crossed Kitchener Road to Tamakae Reserve and lunched on the riverbank. The 95-year-old sailing scow, Jane Gifford, was tied up to the jetty on the Waiuku River. Her owner, a well-attired and commanding woman, arrived for a chat. She outlined her plan to use the scow for public excursions. This required upgrading the jetty area and making the channel navigable at all tides. We wished her luck and set off on the out-going tide, with a light south westerly and high cloud. The destination for the night was Awhitu Regional Park about 5km down the Awhitu Peninsula from Clarks Beach. As the river widened, the east-west trending valleys on the left channelled the afternoon wind across our bows.

The chimneys of the Glenbrook steel mill furnaces appeared on the horizon well before we passed the mill. A shell bank on the left was crowded with several roosting bird species. Closer inspection caused a crescendo of abuse as spoonbills, terns and oystercatchers rose into the air. The spoonbills banked and returned overhead, their distinctive bills thrust forward and legs trailing behind.

We stayed on the left side of the river to reduce exposure to the wind then cut across to Clarkes

Beach for afternoon tea. The yacht club entrance provided shelter from the wind and vertically oriented moisture. Conditions were still a bit damp back on the water but cleared late afternoon as the tide swept us northwards along the shoreline of Awhitu Peninsula into the Manukau Harbour.

The Manukau Harbour is the second largest natural harbour in New Zealand and was once (about 2 million years ago) a large embayment open to the Tasman Sea. The peninsula is a sand dune barrier formed by alternating phases of deposition and erosion. Maori tradition records that about 300 years ago the side facing the Tasman Sea was a large forested sand flat similar to the Whatipu sand flat today. The Harbour supports a rich and diverse estuarine flora and fauna. It is an important nursery area for fish and a major wintering area for migratory shorebirds.

By 6.00pm with the Waiatarua masts and Manukau Heads in sight, one of the team conceded that we were lost. Resorting to the map case and interpolating between two adjacent but barely overlapping sheets, the navigator announced Plans B and C; either paddle 9km back to Awhitu Regional Park or 1km further to Orua Bay. After the briefest debate, we decided on Orua since the boats were already pointing in that direction.The setting sun penetrated the low cloud and turned the water into a succession of undulating black troughs and golden crests. The coastline on the north side of the harbour entrance had long receded into shadow when we ran out of water 20m off Orua beach. A jovial middle aged Englishman greeted us at the camping ground. He was staying on site in a campervan to look after the place for the proprietor. Tents were pitched in the dark before we retired to the showers and cookhouse.

The next morning was fantastic; calm, no wind, no moisture or cloud, an incoming tide, the promise of a south westerly at our backs and a shorter paddle distance than originally planned!

We trolleyed the boats over the Orua Beach tidal flat and aimed for Puponga Point at the end of Cornwallis Beach.

Sand dredge, Waikato river.

Off the Point, 1m high white-capped waves occupied the channel. This section was crossed parallel to the waves with a few low braces in the more turbulent bits.

In windless glassy conditions we swung out of the tidal stream past Cornwallis Beach and northeast to Taumatarea and Langholm Points. Roger grew up here, spending time on the water, so he was familiar with the coastline and harbour channels.

A lone kayaker stopped for a chat. He was out for his weekend exercise, paddling up current to

Langholm for the morning paper.

Cloud had descended and a light south westerly risen by the time we approached Green Bay beach. We trolleyed the boats one at a time through a tidal flat of soft deep black mud. A local on the Karaka Park coastal walk remarked, “You should have come ashore in the central area of the beach where the sea bed is firmer.” (next time!).

We washed muddy trolleys, legs and footwear and eased our bladders at the toilet block before manhandling the boats up the pathway to the south end of Portage Road.

The road was an original portage between the Manukau and Waitemata Harbours for Maori waka. A pa on the headland above Green Bay Beach controlled traffic. From 1850 various schemes were considered to cut a 2-mile long canal between Karaka Bay (now Green Bay) on the Manukau and the Whau River. Proposals included cuts up to 130 feet deep with locks, pumping stations and river dredging. As with the Awaroa Portage, the canal proposals lapsed when the rail line from Auckland to Hamilton was completed in 1908.

Including an ice cream stop the portage to the Whau River took about an hour. We were now deep in ‘Crum country’. Roger’s grandfather in 1905 established brick and pipe works in New Lynn. His father carried on in 1929. The business was sold in the 1970s and Roger is now back there short term as Project Engineer managing a plant upgrade. CRUM bricks can be seen set in the floor of the Arataki Visitor Centre on Scenic Drive in the Waitakere Ranges.

The put in was on the right bank of the Whau River immediately downstream of the Great North Road Bridge. The river used to be navigable by small vessels and steamers to this point, but mangrove growth and silt now prevent this. We lunched on

ine • 2005

the grass above the bank waiting for the tide to turn; then carefully slid each boat down the bank, one person at the top of the bank and the other down at water’s edge. The river is sheltered by mangroves over its upper reaches but becomes exposed downstream where the channel widens.

We favoured the left bank’s protection from a developing cross wind.

A pit stop was needed at the Bridge Avenue marina before passing under the North Western Motorway Bridge and into the expanse of the Waitemata Harbour. We pointed northeast above the Motu Manawa Reserve to avoid the shallows and set up for a surf down the harbour.

In a south westerly rising to 20 knots the boats surfed 3km to the right of the port mark off Te Tokaroa Reef (Meola) then lined up on the north abutment of the Auckland Harbour Bridge for another 3km. We passed under the bridge amid heavy boat traffic. Briefly 2nd and 3rd in a yacht race we were forced to give way to a somewhat larger vessel before squeezing between the shore and the northern bridge pier.

Beyond the bridge, traffic eased and the following sea reduced. Sunday boaties were heading home from the gulf or playing in the harbour. We passed the familiar landmarks of Stanley Point and Devonport Naval Base in quick succession. E421 (Canterbury) with its white ensign flying was tied up at the outer wharf.

The low symmetrical profile of Rangitoto Island slid into full view around North Head. The tide carried us past Cheltenham and Narrow Neck Beaches and along the Takapuna cliffs. On flat water the kayaks nosed gently into Takapuna Beach. A Sunday walker generously agreed to photograph the team before we strapped the boats on trolleys and completed the last 1km portage home.

A Request for Your Help from the NZRCA and the Living Rivers Coalition

Press Releases Our rivers are under more pressure than ever before. Even when rivers have been given the equivalent status of a national park, a Water Conservation Order, it does not seem to be enough. There are many hydro schemes on the drawing boards, some of which (e.g., the Gowan River and Kaituna River) are unfortunately edging closer to reality. Also, the Government has proposed legislation that will potentially limit the ability of the NZRCA to oppose some projects.

Emergency Outdoors Care The Taupo and Hawke’s Bay Yakity Yak trip leaders attended a course on first aid in the outdoors over two days in Taupo. Peak Risk Management ran the course. The instructor for the weekend was Mark (Buggie) Woods.

Arriving on Saturday we were thrown straight into a simulated accident near the river. As yet none of us knew each other. We were suddenly told to treat the victims. Mark had arranged them with good imitation wounds such as bones sticking out of legs and stomachs hanging out. All of us had a little first aid training, but we were to learn accident site management over the next couple of days.

The course was very good. Everyone interacted well. Some shared explicit details of accidents they have had, or attended. We got to watch videos with lots of blood. We are all expert now on carrying out a ruptured spleen operation using our river knives and a needle with thread. Any volunteer patients out there?

For two days we had classroom work with outdoor simulations. We learned everything from vital signs, CPR, fractures, head injuries to spine injuries and dislocations. The Taupo and Hawke’s Bay Yakity Yak kayak club members can now feel completely safe when paddling with their trip leaders, knowing they have the knowledge to treat and manage most injuries until help arrives.

Book Review

HELL OR HIGH WATER

Surviving Tibet’s Tsangpo River

by Peter Heller

If you like action, adventure and ‘tell it like it is’ stories this book is for you even if you are not a white water junkie.

boat back to the right, aimed it straight down the river’s throat, and dug in.”

The style is edge of your seat cinema graphic stuff: the reader gets to experience the excitement, get the pace, and feel the tension. It is very descriptive, and even a nonkayaking adventurer would get a clear picture of what’s going on, and wait, heart in mouth to see what happens next.

Paddling is only half the story: they were forced to traverse a terrifyingly steep mountain pass of snow and ice with their kayaks on their backs; haggle and argue with corrupt officials; stare downs violent, mutinous porters.

Reach for an atlas and you’ll see that the Tsangpo gorge is in Mt Everest country. It cuts through the eastern end of the Himalayas to form the deepest, most remote river canyon on earth. Led by filmmaker Scott Lindgren in February and March (that’s in winter!) 2002, seven of the world’s top expeditionary kayakers paddled the furious currents and into the throat of the gorge. They survived.

It is obvious that author Peter Heller is himself a top-notch paddler - he uses his own experiences to shed light on the techniques, talent and skills of these international river ‘cowboys’ and gives us ringside seats.

“Johnnie rolled up, slammed into the seething white pile of the next wave and disappeared. He was spat out the other side and rolled up again, terrified...Willie was cutting the air wildly, both arms up and straight, palms facing, frantically mouthing the word CENTRE!...Johnnie growled, spun his

MAGIC

His writing also conveys the beauty, and captures the ballet of the paddler’s movements; the grace, poise and precision and applauds it.

“When they all glide out into the glacial milk green of the final pool, they are in sync, like a bluegrass band...the paddlers have moved beyond athleticism, risk, discipline and sport into something rare and fine.”

Interspersed with the account of the thirty-seven day epic, there are linking stories of explorers and naturalists of the past, and campfire philosophy.

“Modern-day adventurers do much of what they do in creation of story. The tales pour out at the fire; they are savored and added to. One man’s episode becomes part of another’s repertoire, and the stories multiply and intertwine. It seems a wonderful, archaic way to live. Who lives like that anymore? Hollywood subsumes more and more of that part of our consciousness and lures us into the gray smog of routine, of consuming and producing, of a mass-produced narrative. We need adventures to create new, vibrant stories. It’s the blood of our humanity.”

The only aspect of the book I felt uncomfortable with and question its necessity was the in-house arguments and ‘tittle tattle.’

The author obviously did not believe in the ‘what goes on tour, stays on tour’ philosophy.

A map, photographs of the boys, and some of the action would be the only additions I’d like to see. Perhaps I’ll have to see Scott Lindgren’s movie. All up, I’d like to read the book again. It must be good.

Alas it didn’t last for long, this morning’s wet and cold.

Please God can we have some more, before I’m too damn old.

As if by devine magic, the rain, it did retreat. this great big ball appeared on high generating heat!!!

They speak of global warming. which globe is thus affected? surely not the one I’m on more like, ‘’Ice age is expected.’’

I’m not quite sure what it was. could it have been the sun?

I vaguely recollect seeing it waaaaaaaay back when I was young.

I’m know the rain will ease off soon it’s waiting for the day when heaps of us go kayaking and scare the stuff away.

S E A K AYA K I N G

Campsite Hopping Whitianga to Opotiki Trips are memorable for many reasons - campsites can leave memories that last longer than those of actual paddling. On this trip we enjoyed some fascinating locations - especially sweet when taken in secret in the midst of an unaware public.

John and I left Whitianga’s Buffalo Beach midafternoon after a long drive from Gisborne. We had a couple of hours of easy paddling in empty boats past the scenic Cook’s beach, rocky coastline and the popular Cathedral Cove. At Hahei motor camp we were reunited with John’s wife Lynn and all our gear and food. We were lucky to catch the toasted sandwich place just before it closed. There are not a lot of takeaway food options at Hahei.

Next morning saw the start of the trip proper. We had 260 Km to go and I was feeling only moderately confident that we would get there. Pre trip enquiries with local paddlers indicated a scarcity of good landings/campsites. Warnings about the Bowentown bar at the northern entrance to Tauranga Harbour foretold a challenge.

We launched from Hahei into a moderate swell, no wind, and blue skies. Great. The morning was serendipity with rocky cliffs, coves, islands and an awesome cave/blowhole. Our digital cameras worked overtime. We paddled on past Hot Water beach without landing, as the surf was biggish and dumping. More cliffs followed, then lunchtime saw us at the very appealing Boat Harbour. It is only accessible by sea; has a small sandy beach and moored boats.

There was much activity in the ocean, with big schools of fish engaging in mysterious and frenzied antics, plus flocks of birds sitting on the water or flying past.

In the afternoon we passed the suburbia of Tairua Harbour and Pauanui area, a contrast to Opoutere Beach and its beautiful long sandy expanse, where we landed.

Finding campsite number two was the next item on the agenda. Behind the beach rose a bank and then sand hills covered with scrubby bush.

Oblique enquiries indicated a DOC antipathy to camping because of nesting birdlife. We turned down an offer from an ‘alternative’ group of people in a big permanent camp to join them. Our preferred option was to surreptitiously drag the kayaks up the bank and into the scrub, smoothing out the drag marks of our kayaks behind us. There we pitched our tents, unseen in some bushes. A beautiful evening and a still night with only the sound of the surf made us glad to be there.

Morning brought a bit of a shock. The moderate surf was now BIG and impressive.

We studied it with care. John thought he saw a way through between ‘lulls’.

I considered time and distance between wave sets and saw probable carnage.

After packing up we decided on a risk reduction strategy and dragged the kayaks a kilometre up the beach where the surf seemed a bit smaller.

Even using a set of wheels this was exhausting.

Time to commit: John launched. After a few near

misses he was through. I was a bit behind and got creamed by a big wave that surfed me backwards and over. A frustrating series of false starts followed. Waves swept up the beach behind my beached kayak and swung me round. I had to get out, straighten the kayak, get back in, reset the spray skirt etc. Finally I got off the sand but then had to maintain position in the white water waiting for a lull in the big sets. It took ages but finally I got through.

The morning was lovely and fine. We enjoyed the boost of a big following swell to Whangamata.

Here the surfers were out in force but looked very small on the big wave faces. Our information was that the beaches further south had dumping surf so we decided on an early stop for the day hoping for a dropping swell. Entry into the Whangamata Harbour was interesting, sneaking between the big beach break and Te Karaka Point.

Inside the harbour we pondered the options for Campsite no.3. The motor camp was apparently across town - no good to kayakers. There was a very appealing area of land just beside the harbour on the northern side - a quick kayak carry and we were hidden away just metres from the moored boats. With great satisfaction we spent the afternoon lazing in the sun in our hideaway.

Next morning the swell was still big but had dropped. We paddled out of the Harbour and down the coast past Whitiroa to lunch at Mataora bay. This has to be the most beautiful bay I have ever seen. It is just gorgeous. A walk up a grassy hill opened up views that gobbled up lots of memory space on the cameras.

Back on the water, we noted less fish and bird life, while the coastline progressively lost some of its beauty to become ho hum.

As we neared Waihi Beach on a biggish following swell our landing options were not particularly attractive. Surf pounded the beach and a distant area of white marked the Bowentown bar and the northern entrance to Tauranga Harbour. There was a Surf Lifesaving Club and heaps of people on the beach near the bar. We imagined their comments as our kayaks got closer to the impact area. It was really difficult to evaluate. We adopted a paddle-stop-look-paddle strategy working our way further into the bar area with breaking waves all around us.

We had decided to paddle the inside of the

harbour rather than outside Matakana Island so when we got to a point opposite the entrance we headed in. A few bigger waves made us backpaddle to avoid disaster and then it was a big push through the entrance against the strong outgoing tide. We ferry glided across the current, landed on the Island, relieved to have made it.

Finding campsite no.4 was the next issue. Stories of night-time vigilante patrols in 4WD’s made us wary of camping on the Island. Churned up wheel tracks added to our unease, so we left the island and paddled towards the back of the harbour looking for a likely spot. Fosicking around along a muddy shore we found a great site hidden under some trees. It even had a barnacle-covered bath for John to pose in. The evening was suffused with the satisfaction of completing a challenging day.

Although we made an early morning start to reach the middle of the harbour at high tide and avoid a long drag over the mud, it was still a challenge to find channels of water deep enough to paddle.

We kept close to Matakana Island and only had to drag the kayaks for about 20 metres. Huge flocks of black swans flew up as we approached them.

By mid-afternoon we were at the Tauranga end passing through the busy harbour entrance on bouncy water, trying to keep out of the way of boats powering through.

Once around Mt Maunganui we landed. People and High Rise Buildings persuaded us that the motor camp was not our scene. We re-launched!

Surf at the beach meant we had to take care not to amuse the watching crowd. The beach stretched into the far distance with flat country behind and signalled a change of landscape for the rest of the trip. By the time we got to Papamoa Beach my back was cramping up. John was fine.

He had spent most of the day with his sail up watching me paddle.

When we finally spotted vehicles we moved closer to look for campsite no.6.

Campsite no.5 was the suburbia of the Papamoa motor camp. While we set up our tents a dragon lady approached to set us straight on our camping responsibilities and the physical boundaries of our site. I assumed she was camp staff and adopted a compliant attitude, but John had seen her come out of a nearby caravan and his bristles rose.

Next day we experienced ugly ‘beaches’ and the black outflow of the Tarawera River (thanks to the Kawarau timber mill). Lunch was at a featureless beach near Thornton and the Rangitaiki River outlet. But the takeaways were good. Onward to Whakatane, where I called up the local Coastguard who could not see us among the swells, even when I described where we were.

(Throughout the trip I kept in VHF radio contact with local Coastguard operators, giving them morning and evening updates of our progress, and found them to be unfailingly interested and helpful.)

That night we gorged on steaks at the local food bar.

Next day the coastline extended in an unbroken line into the distance. Lunch was at Newdick’s beach just around the Town Point from Maketu.

Getting around the Point and onto the beach took concentration. The beach was steep with dumping surf.

The coastline from here was away from the road and made it difficult to assess where we were.

I saw a promising spot and suggested John land to investigate - there was no point in both of us getting trashed by the surf. As John paddled in I was bemused to see a TRAIN pass right through my imagined campsite. It was surreal.

A bit further up the beach we landed and set up camp amongst sand hills and huge lupin bushes.

Large rabbit holes abounded, and there was a mysterious railway building with a sign ‘Hauone’.

Campsite no.7 was a cove just around Kohi Point, between Whakatane and Ohope Beach. This is a lovely spot but also a very popular destination via a walking track from Ohope Beach. In the late afternoon we sat on the beach trying to look like

day paddlers but soon got bored and set up our tents. A vigilant local from a cliff top home promptly arrived to do his duty and tell us we were in a no camping DOC reserve. I regaled him with tales of Tramping Club ethics of zero impact camping and he finally, reluctantly left. That evening was particularly beautiful.

Day 8 saw us paddling in mirror calm sea conditions, although an extra large wave at 15 minute intervals kept us from straying too close to shore. Approaching the breaking waves at the Waioeka River bar off Opotiki, John woke himself up by paddling through the middle of it. I didn’t

need the drama and went around. John periodically disappeared amongst the breaking waves but got through unscathed. He usually does.

We landed just past the bar, with intentions of a campsite and a short last day to Opape, but decided that re-launching in the morning would be a problem if the surf got any bigger overnight.

We carried on. The last 10 Km along the beach to Opape took most of our remaining energy, but the feeling of satisfaction when we hit the sand and completed our trip was something money could not buy. Our arrival completed a journey between

Gisborne and Auckland spread over the last three summers.

Campsite no. 8 was at the Opape motor camp in a grassy paddock with few trees and campers. It was a million times more appealing than the one at Papamoa.

The next morning our wives drove up to take us home. We left in a rosy after-glow, which is still there when I reflect on the great time we had.
