Today Andy Fuller organised a working bee at the Kaituna River, was good to see all the junior paddlers and some parents there helping. The weather was great for the job. Changes were fixing about 15 to 20 gates up and adding a few which is good because the more gates the better! Rob Sperling made an awesome set of stairs. Some Judging and coaching stations were made, starting to look alot better. After I cut a wire in halve with a gate on it right above the shoot, Regan August jumped in to save it, crazy. Guess I owe him! Heres a few pictures of the course.
The weather at the camp was as expected, cold, rainy, but thats mangahou for you. Trainings for me were pretty productive I found, training with the group I was staying with aswell as a couple of sessions with my brother Ben Gibb and Aaron Osborne. 
But mainly with alot of help from Ian Mercer in his spare time away from the Development Team. The course at Mangahou will host the 3rd and 4th selection races for the nz teams (senior and junior) if the same as last year there will be a few athletes from overseas coming to compete before heading off to Australia for the world series race. There was a quick race at the end of the 4day training camp
