Cross Creek Feb 2017

Cross Creek is canyon number 2 of our 2 week NZ trip. After practising our SRT at camp last night we're ready to put it into practice. Cross Creek has Didymo so we have a few litres of dishwashing detergent to treat our gear when we're finished. This canyon is one of the most popular canyons in NZ so we're pretty keen to try it out.
