Selwyn river run sunday 4th may

[cornfarmer]

Anyone keen for a trip from Coes ford up to state highway one bridge on sunday morning?

[nickcampbell]

hey there, yeah id be keen for a trip, what time?? any requirements? i have a snorkel, and ive played in the waimak before, and i have some tow ropes....

[4Paws]

I would be keen for a look, what time ya talking about and meet where? You shouldn't need a snorkel its more a large stream than a river and standard trucks will be fine but rated tow hooks would be nice

[cornfarmer]

I'm thinking 1000 at coes ford. There can be a few good holes to play in. Got a good spot further upstream if anyones keen once we get to the bridge. Will be on UHF channel 7. Will be in white 70 series cruiser.
See you there.

[4Paws]

[cornfarmer]

Yeah mate 10am, and sounds like you got the spot sussed. Just checked the river level on the Environment Canterbury website and the river is up a litte but should be good. hopefully we can find some mud somewhere!

[cornfarmer]

River is 2nd highest it's been in 6 months, could be intersting!!!

[nickcampbell]

im keen to go anyways even if river is abit high, i think we just watch where we cross it if we do, gotta test my snorkel out properly sometime haha

[4Paws]

Im still keen, we can make a judgement call when we get there if its too high or not but its still worth a look.
And my snorkel needs a good test too
