Bradz 13 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Spent the weekend getting up at Opua getting acquainted with my new love obsession. Purchased our first keeler last week and took possession on Friday. It's been most relaxing and exciting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B00B00 161 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Went Caving, Abseiling (yes even me...) Rope Bridging and Rock climbing with my 2 older boys (4 and 6) at Waipu caves. It was an epic weekend. Damn cold in the tent overnight though! Anyone wanting a cool caving experience that's totally free let me know and I will fill you in on the details. Its only 1.5hrs drive from Auckland and family friendly (if you don't mind a bit of mud!). My 4 year old LOVED it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KM... 782 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Caves like that In Waipu?? Who would have thought that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Pope 98 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 been there forever!! there used to be and maybe still is a local guide, George Fisky, interesting thing is he is blind, cave, dark, no light needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funlovincriminal 28 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 After much stalling I finally got my hands on the new toy. Dad's Hiab truck and my bosses big alloy trailer from his Southern Fizz boat and a few willing hands and the process actually went pretty smoothly! She has been out of the water for 20 years, and is pretty much a new boat looking forward to a fresh start on life Quote Link to post Share on other sites
