We are listening to the beautiful bird cacophony. The sun is shining through the pearly white clouds that are hanging over the Ngaruroro River. While we spent the rest of the day clambering over sticks, prickles and logs, flying over the tree tops while looking at the outstanding scenery and swimming in the bitter, benumbed and arctic Ngaruroro River. ======

** Flying Kiwi **  Most people would agree that the flying kiwi is not something you would do at home. First you need Kiwi adventure staff to help you, then you put on a harness. Then a helmet. One of the kiwi adventure staff will clip you up to a rope that is thread through a pulley and two more long bits of rope are attached to the pulley. When you are ready you shout kiwi ready and they shout fly kiwi fly.

As you listen to the wind you feel like you're floating in the air. It seems a bit weird that you boil in a bivi. I sleep like a baby in bivvies. The room gets stuffy. Words of advice don’t sleep in Matt’s bivi. **Instructions to sleeping in the bivi. ** ** 1. You need two trees about 5 metres apart. ** <span style="color: #ff3300; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 204%; text-align: center;">** Sleeping bag **

With the camp Whanawhana sun shining through the trees it was making stripes on our faces making galloping zebras on our faces. The cliffs over the lake, motionless, senseless. Making it look like a sleeping giant.

With the dedication of the staff we always had a smile and a laugh on our faces. They have a great way to teach children. We put our safety in their hands and they kept us safe, happy and proud. **

I had an adrenalin rush at the start, but I want to know what you feel? It’s also a task to help build up your team work skills. It’s a challenge but a cool thing to do.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 20pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;">You will need to Tie two tubes together then put on a helmet and buoyancy aid to keep you afloat in the water. You need to get some paddles then put your tube into the water, spread out around the tube. This is to keep it balanced. Make sure you keep out of strainers and rapids that are to strong.
