Canoeing and Tramping
The Gisborne Canoe and Tramping Club continues to flourish, and in recent months many trips have been made to rivers and hills in the district. The pictures on this page, taken by I. Openshaw, show some of the younger members being instructed in the art of canoeing in the Ruakituri River, during a "White Water" school held there.
Members going up and down river at the Ruakituri school,
Dave Middlemiss (front), Neville Openshaw and Rhys Pearson demonstrating the "hydroelectric" method of piloting a rubber dinghy. The name comes from the fact that Government river investigation crews use this method, with a pilot up front.
J. Hjorring and S. Tyer try their luck in a tractor tube.
Roger Openshaw is negotiating the white water.
