We escaped the city for another weekend get-away to Southland, NZ. The Eyre Creek 4WD track is just over an hour from Queenstown and provides some great chances to get your truck muddy. This is another solo adventure, yet I had no problem tackling anything that came our way. Being short on time only allowed us to get into Shepard Creek Hut for the night. From the trails the led from the hut i suspect you can get further up the valley. Although I can't find any details on this. Guess that means I'll have to get back to explore it all again soon.

Have to complement you on great work. I watch a lot of the 4WD Action or 24/7 which is very high tech but I think yours is more enjoyable because its in NZ. Well done and looking forward to future ones.

Unfortunately for all of us, you are correct. Simply searching Eyre Creek on KZfaq will show some of the cause. Other causes was abuse to land owners from 4WDers. I completely understand why it was shut down but very unfortunate that it has. Hopefully in the years coming we can rebuild relationships and re-open the track.

Unsure of the brand, Mum got it in some giftware store on the west coast ae! But you can find them on Equipoutdoors for around $100 and that's where i'll be buying my next one. Hard to say ae haha theres around 8 different tracks throughout the video so what time was the track playing?

@4X4MonthlyNZ Ай бұрын

This track has been closed for a couple years now. Due in part by both 4WD and bikes. The general disrespect to the farmer and his property is what ultimately closed it. Dirt bikes are just as bad when it comes to trail damage, and can often be worse when it comes to off-track damage yet it is often not talked about.

@Outvit Ай бұрын

Yeah I'll give you money to mess up tracks and have a good night

I don't believe I did any messing on this track. I stuck to the main lines and barely spun my tires. If i did get stuck, It was a quick recovery using recovery boards. I did indeed have a good night though.
