Yet again i have been a slack bugger and have not been updating my blog much. In the last few months I have been a busy boy. I have had a few friends stay and i have been working heaps.

It has not rained in Fox for about 2 weeks which is really funny cos usually it rains about 200 days a year. We get between 5000-5500mm of rain a year. For you cavemen who still work in inches that is about 200-220 inches which is a fuck of alot of rain.


Duncan was here for a couple of days. We headed south and checked out some biking areas. We went to Wanaka which had a pile of built up trails in a fairly small area. The trails are all graded like ski runs and have signs at the top and bottom telling you the name, grade, what kinda jumps to expect and if it is a 2 way or only up or down trail. This is a picture of duncan riding over the bridge on an uphill trail called "cranken fine".





Last weekend a couple of friends came to stay. One i meet in Greymouth the other drove up from Queenstown. While i was in Greymouth waiting for my friend to arrive i had about 2hrs to kill. I ended up buying a flyrod setup and fishing licence. So today i drove a bit south and tried fly fishing for the second time. First time was 2 days ago for about 1hr after work with no luck. i was really just happy to get out and practice my casting. After about 20mins i caught this little beauty.
It was a little bigger than the one i caught a mth ago.
