curious Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 It's probably wide enough already but it goes out quite a bit further by itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bloggs Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 What happens if you come off and break a limb, a man/woman could drown when the tide comes in. Do you carry a mask and snorkel just in case? at a least you don't have snake bite to contend with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a saline water walker as well. Did you use a penetrometer to select the right going relative to your desired work out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. A going stick that I found there made out of driftwood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's improved since he moved up here but he did a bloody good job down there way back when. Probably done a few NZTR track management courses since and of course he's lucky that he only has 6 horses going round on his track each day, not 600 so it doesn't take long to put the track back. He's pretty much semi-retired these days. You'd probably have to pay megabucks to get him back down there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
