Weekend Adventures











With rain forecast, we thought no better time like now for a bit of 4x4. Our boys love it, the mud, the river crossings, the adventure! Its great family time and a great winter activity for us all to enjoy. A quick meeting with our travelling companions (always pays to go in two's or more) to plan food, accommodiation and route. We set off on Sunday morning and travelled via Tophouse to the Leatham. Stopping at the Argyle Dam, still raining... to take some snapshots and onto our 1st river crossing. We checked out 3 DOC huts before making fire and getting out the sleeping bags. 6 beds and 9 people, hence there was a bit of top & tailing!
More Rain... It rained ALL night and in the morning the rivers were raging torrents. Wern't we lucky that the hut we chose wasn't above the major river crossings as we would have been stuck in there. It was a cosy time for all and we even managed to stay dry! Good fun and great company.
