Photo above of the Cox family from Waiuku (A southern suburb [?] of Auckland) was supposed to be a video?

They gave a great presentation about how good the Tongariro River Trail is and why they came back to TRM again so they could use the bikes to test how fit Dad is etc.  Then after they departed I discovered I had not filmed or recorded them at all?.  I am still on my 5 year apprenticeship learning curve on using these iPhones for recording guests.  As I know the boys will be looking forward to seeing their YouTube debut promoting the delights of Turangi I have to apologise for the slack operator.  They will now have to return to do it all again…

A beautiful sunny day on the Tongariro last week – as long as you cannot see the wind… Anglers from Hertfordshire in England are Carol & Jeremy Scott getting some tips from Phillip Smith. Phillip is from Marton and has a holiday home nearby. He has bought a fishing licence every year since 1948! But this year he has not – as a protest against what they have done to the lower river. What does that tell DOC and the Waikato Regional Council?

A silly old local duffer trying to relive his youth taking Pumpkin wheelies on a drift trike.  Please don’t report him to the SPCA…  Pumpkin is really a thrill seeking adrenaline junkie freak – you can see her smiling with delight as we drift at lightening speed down a local hill…

Above is the George family – Toby holding India and Nana Adele at the trout centre for the kids day last Sunday.  Below is the result – 1.2 kg Rainbow trout smoked for the dinner table.  India features in the Inmate Interview next Sunday – don’t miss it…
