Nick, Nick and Tes Go South

Me Nick Maday and Tes Themes then decided to head south on a pligrimage to Queenstown driving down the West Coast for some surfing and taking time out to admire the incredible block of ice that is Franz Josef and Fox glaciers. Which grinds its way down the Southern Alps. It was slightly scary to see just how far the glacier had retreated in just the last 150 years.

Nick, Nick and Tes say no to Didymo

Didymo is something I had never come across before I came to New Zealand but is a major problem particularly in South Island. It is an algae which chokes up the water, destroying ecosystems and is present in some but not all South Island rivers. This means kayakers MUST wash all their kit when changing between rivers.
