Flooding in Golden Bay

Reports of serious flooding in Eastern Golden Bay, any news from Hangdog? i'd imagine this would mean the Takaka river among others. Hope things aren't too serious for the campers!

Sorry to hear about the flood damage in Golden Bay 
Anyone know if the climbing (or access to climbing) at Paynes Ford has been affected?

A few slips arounds but other than that everything is all go!
Apparently there is a bit of a walk to Pohara but that should be clean up pretty soon. Most of the rain came from the Able Tasman side and not much flooding in the Takaka valley.
There is a biggest slip under the tenuite wall though (thats been cleaned up by DOC)
