Selwyn

Post by kiwipete »

I have been asked to run a trip in the Selwyn for my social club at work. These are mostly shineys :shock:
Has anyone been in there since all the rains and flooding?
I suspect with todays rain it will be up again and will take some time to dry out.
Ok people, move along. Nothing to see here. Thank you, move along.

I heard them on my radio while we were up Worsleys on sunday. Sounds like a few got caught out.

Cheers, I think I will call it off as some don't have snorkels, but I have 2 weeks to decide.
I thought it may still be flowing.
