Great vid of MAungatapu - the camera makes it look like a jungle up there. There looked like a hell of a lot of water up there.

get Nordieboy to take you on one of his patented all day Nelson tours and then youll be really pissed off that you dont live there..... At least weve got the Mungatooks and the Wairarapa at our doorsteps..
He's bloody good at them now isn't he I reckon it may be another sideline for you Nordie - "Nordie tours" Nelson's finest scenic charters
