As the last post suggested Ive been waiting for the snows to melt over in BC to try and get a river over there done at the end of the summer. It was just the sort of trip I've been after on the Dean river. Five days in proper wilderness and a whitewater that demands respect. Fly into a lake and get a ferry out where it meets the sea. Levels are too high though, and its not going to happen in the time window I have available.

So all plans are off, and I have lost the drive to go, or even think about, boating at the minute. That has left a pretty much blank canvas on which to start motivating for something else. So far i have been just keeping things simple and doing a bit of retail therapy (fell shoes and mountain bikes!) with a heavy dose of TV. What a good little consumer I am, my dreams substituted for consumer objects and tele!

I guess I need to accept that if I want to do trips like that then this is all part of the challenge. I cant sit around for a season and wait for the trips to come spontaeneously as most  folk do. Weather I need to accept defeat and head to more convienient rivers, or justy keep going with chasing the dream trip is a decision that I'll just drift toward for the minute....
