I leave the roads behind and get out on some tougher tracks. This place is like a fairy-tale with amazing scenery, lakes and forests. If I didn't have other plans I would probably still be there.
Another awesome video. I agree it's getting sad the way our tracks are being abused. Some people just don't care and because of these idiots those of us who are responsible will loose these areas. Good in you for taking the finish out. Again irresponsible Muppets leaving it behind. Looking forward to the next episode
You gotta be the most sensible off roader I have watch in the years I have been offroading. To many clowns killing the 4x4 seen now with stupidity. P.B
I went there on my adventure bike in March last year. I got a code for the gate because I thought it was the right thing to do to support the track. But a few bikes rode down to the beach to by pass it. A 4x4 also got around it somehow. It's sad to see the state of the track in parts. Nightmare on an adventure bike.
Awesome trip mate, proves anything 4wd, just get out there, look after the places and leave it better than you found it and just do it. Hoping to head down there in December, I'll at least make it to Athol, but like you, anything can happen and its a loose plan. 2 week trip ex CHCH, ideally as solo and ex Human contact as possible, see if the big 80, the dog and me don't get lost on any adventures before hand or mishaps! Spent allot of time up there as kids, back in the 80s, haven't been there since 07 on my last adventure, so this makes me a bit homesick for the deep south, seeing this. As for the rubbish, this is an ever increasing problem, which endangers access for all of us, so well done on cleaning it up again like you hate it being there and worse having to clean it up, more so for the type of people that do that crap, probably hunters, but if it is 4wders then give ya selves an upper cut! Its a scum thing to do! end of no excuses. Old Mossy went to primary school there the main street still looks pretty much the same, remember that garage, awesome trip dude🤘
Hey man thanks for the comment. Sounds like a good trip you have planned there, I just love the South Island. There just seems to be a general lack of respect for these places by some. Plenty of good folks out there, but always the few that cause the problems. Sounds like you have the right idea!
