It is finally canyoning season again in NZ! I managed to persuade a few caving buddies to go down a short and sweet canyon near Christchurch. As the weather was an impressive 30°C, I did not have much trouble convincing anyone!The canyon has probably the easiest approach and exit of any canyon in New Zealand- literally about 5 minutes from the car to the start of the canyon and 5 minutes from the end back to the car, both on formed track! The canyon has 2 nice waterfall abseils of about 15m and a few small jumps into deep green pools. Unlike most NZ canyoning I have done, the water temperature was perfect (with 4mm of neoprene that is) and I lazily floated across some of the larger pools instead of escaping as soon as possible. While fun, I found the canyon to be a bit of a tease. It was too short and easy and left me wanting more. Perfect weather for it though and good company!
