A) A very sore bum OR 8) the Club Tubing Trip down the Hutt Gorge on 16 January!
Well, clad in an array of wetsuits ranging from: * the Jo McKenzie “short 'n sexy" variety, to * the Karyn Burgess “you're-not-seeing-anything" variety, to * the Andrew McLellan (borrowed-from-Keith Strode-Penny) “let's-let-in-as-much-water-as-possible" variety, to * the Rob Brown “I-bet-|-can-wear-more-colours-than-you" variety, about 17 crazy tubers (no, that's not tubas, although some of the party did seem to have a lot of wind, set off down the Hutt Gorge.
big enough to fit a tri-cycte, to * suitable for a jumbo jet, to * arafty type thing manned by a Rogery type thing.
The trip overall, meaning the experience was very: cold wet easy to fall out of your tube possible to get sucked under a log (Oh no, was that you Hugh?) difficult to get back in your tube painful for your bum and your tum stupid adventurous
