In this two part series we explore the South Island in winter - challenged by the weather, things don't quite go to plan - but that's part of the fun!
Join us as we cross visit Lake Coleridge, Arthur's Pass, Maori Gully Road and more on our epic adventure

Gee must be cold down there. Good to see the two rigs together

It wasn’t overly warm - a whole week of rain and cold. Was pretty good fun!

About to invest in my first 4x4 and overland setup.... Planning a big trip at the end of the year to celebrate residency in NZ. Stoked to find your channel, hope to learn heaps from you

Congrats on the upcoming purchase! Seems like a good reason to celebrate - all the best with the setup and adventure

Loved part one, probably more so that most of it is within 3 hours of my doorstep here and I've not been to these places haha!

Cheers Sam! Oh true - all fairly close by. Pretty cool spots, Māori Gully Road would’ve been amazing if the weather was clear - apparently you can see for miles

Thoroughly enjoyed watching that. Rather you than me in winter. I did station to station starting at Ryton station Lake Coleridge which borders the Harper River. There’s some amazing pinnacles landscape the opposite side of the river, but too deep to cross. We even drove across from the station to Mount Algidus. Fascinating seeing that Maori gully track. I’ve driven all round that old goldmining route the Goldsborough. Have you been to the Pike River miners memorial on the Reefton Road?. Well worth a stop to pay respects to see and read all the tributes. I did a video there thats on my KZfaq…. cried my eyes out for about 45 minutes. Very very moving. Happy travels 🙌👍

Cheers Sue! Haha - it was awesome - but I'm in no rush to go back and do it again. It looks like we missed a heap of stuff around the station there - weren't planning on heading that way so had done zero research into what was around. I haven't been into the memorial - might have to pay it a visit next time we're in the area - can imagine it's quite a place to visit!

@@OverlandNZTV I’m still tempted in a few years to buy a small house in Alexandra, freeing up cash for a caravan and a newer car, because I feel I’ve barely scratched the surface of what I want to see down south. Just an idea that I might do for a couple of years before moving back to the UK eventually, because it’s home. This is my tearful video of the Pike River memorial. I expected just one memorial, but what is there left me emotionally shattered. I finally understood why it’s never over. Definitely a must do, just to pay respects. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7uAocKGxMrIhqc.html
