Taorua River

Scott bruised his knees badly when paddling the Arahura, this has unfortunatly put him out of kayaking for the next week or so. It also meant just Tanner, Doni and I ran the Taorua yesturday.
We had a 50min hike to the put-in, which was an adventure of its own.
The river itself wasn't too demanding; generally grade three with a handful of grade four features. It was a really nice river running through a beautiful, green valley. The run took about 1hr 3omins; enjoyed by all - mellow, relaxing and pretty.
