Good trip, thanks to everyone involved, and looking foward to the next one.

Yeah, we parked down the Waipara to eat tea before heading back.

Also, yes guys a great day. I totally enjoyed myself, as did partner.

Im in the process of tracking down some phone numbers and will hopefully organise a trip up to Lake Sumner, then left over to Lake Mason. Then out the other side of the river and back to Huranui river again.

As for the oil light, havent confirmed it, but 95% sure its water in behind the oil pressure light/gauge diaphram.

More details under the Nissan thread.

Prolly coz of the file format, need Quicktime. Sometimes WMP can be made to open the file be downloading the file, then right click, and 'open with' then select WMP
