This is the upper bit above the normal Colliers gorage run (the one most people have done). I have nver done this upper bit - well beyond my boating skills or kahuna size. Looks steep and big.

Awesome video. A little worrying that someone swam on flat water pretty much.

Very good.... had to read this twice before I got it! That Gisburne stream looked very Welsh... apart from the big slides of course.

Looks appalling, but oddly compelling...
