Many thks your videos gold for those whom cant do thos stuff....for many reasons and live to get back out there .....blessings.

Thanks Greg, well put together. It reminds me of some of the hiking trails in the Southern Cape. That distance error that you mentioned at the beginning, someone cocked up with miles vs kilometres (a common mistake)

Looks a fun track Greg. I'll put it on the list. Just got to get the health sorted out.

At 4.44, it looks over onto the farm where I grew up. The porika holds some good, and bad memories for me.

Great Video, I'm a fan of Nelson Lakes I think St Arnaud is one of NZ's top 20 spots, Lake Rotorua I've been there once and wasn't overly impressed but i would go back, thanks for sharing

It doesn't look as rough as when I went through there in November 2020 from Lake Rotoroa side. Very steep climb, tight corners and rocky but easy going once at the summit and down the other side.

I did Porika road in December with my 79 series. Enjoyed the track a lot and will do it again on my next trip. The hairpin corners where interesting in the 79. Requiring 3 point turns to get the truck around. In regards to the sand flies, well....we only managed to spend 10 minutes at the jetty taking some photos before we had to get out of there. The flies where thick... I also have the 4wd books you use to lookup the tracks, but I use the books as supplementary to www.4x4explorer.co.nz/ for the South Island. I've found that the site has more up to date information on tracks as well as access contact information, etc. Also you can download the gpx files for the tracks, which makes life a lot simpler.

I find it more interesting in the rain and there are fewer other vehicles on the tracks. With this one is there another way out once driven down

Those trees were cut when I went through end of May, after a big storm during the week.

Thanks for another informative video. Most enjoyable subscribed

Another interesting video. What tyres you using these days. I got all terain on the Ford and no issues so far. A lot of the time used diff lock and only low range on steep decents

Good evening like your video could you put up some good roads I can gravel bike on around the Nelson region/Tasman Murchison Reefton thanks
