piopio flood runs

the weather got a bit worse wo had a few days off work to go pick up harry's kayak from over in PioPio, when we got there at about 10pm had a few of the local brews and wents to slep to the sound of the rain. morning came and we were both stoked to see how nuch rain had fell, we grabbed our boats and headed for the river. first up was the Mokau, nice grade four run in flood, stopped of at what is now known as slippery rock (locals name) see photo above. 

also found out that just around the corner was a 15ft waterfall, with some tight trees before and after the main drop. tricky spot to thread the trees but nice park and huck in flood.
