Cleared a few fallen branches from around the J/S 2m, it’s much better now. We checked R2 for jumping, the pool is currently deep enough but the rock slopes outward slightly at the bottom, so you’d have to go out quite far.
Did this as an evening stop on the drive to Christchurch from Westport, it’s really practical since the approach is so short.
