Tahr '24: Part 1
zhlédnutí 2,3KPřed 14 dny
We had an 11 day break to get into some Tahr Hunting. So headed to the familiar Eastern South Island. This was a trip of highs and lows, in a number of ways. This video is part 1 of that trip, where Coralie comes along with me and enjoys the majestic southern scenery.
Roar 24
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 2 měsíci
Roar 24, Lots of stags but nothing big or old, so I had to settle for a meat animal instead. Deer density was very high in the area and I think this is affecting the quality of the heads.

Our Easter '24 Tramp, a great trip
Moanui - Kahunui-Makakoere-Tawa, Tramp and fish.
zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed 7 měsíci
This tramp was inspired by the desire to go off track over the hill between the Kahunui hut and the Makakoere hut. There is an old forest service trail between the two on old maps. We found the trail and the route was steep, but the bush was fairly chewed out by deer so easy going for a bush bash. I enjoyed the fishing too! But the highlight was camping on a picturesque river bench in the lower...

Kuripapango fishing trip. Oct '22
zhlédnutí 208Před rokem
This is one of the early trips we recorded on video. We tramped into Kiwi Mouth hut, then over to Cameron hut, then down the river back to the Kuri carpark. The river was only just navigable at a level of 880mm.

This was our first multi day ride. Thanks for the tuition and patience from Craig and Toni. A lot of fun and quite tough at times.
St James walkway May '23
zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed rokem
We chose to walk the St James as it fitted the bill as we wanted a relatively easy tramp (post covid) and we had to do it in 4 days as we had a ferry to catch. We also hadn't done it before. It was a really beautiful walk that we thoroughly enjoyed.
Aoraki tahr hunt May '23
zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed rokem
Unfortunately, Coralie was crook with covid, so she couldn't come along with me on this adventure. I was still in recovery mode, too. But it was such a nice day that I couldn't resist getting out and chasing some tahr. I really enjoyed planning the hunt on the topo maps first, and then it all played out as I hoped. It was nice to capture it all on video, too. The close-up footage was taken thro...
Nelson Lakes three passes. March '23

This was a big multi day tramp in the Nelson Lakes area. We did a 7 day loop from Rotoiti. Basic route was: Travers river and pass, Sabine, Blue lake, Waiau pass, Thompson pass, D'Urville, Speargrass, and out. Fantastic trip!

    Hi Stu. Have been enjoying watching your videos. Have you done much exploring on the other side of the gorge around the Manganuku hut and Tokenui Hut area?

    • @StuandCoralieHockey
      @StuandCoralieHockey Před 4 dny

      Thanks for the comment. We've done a few tramos in the Eastern side of the Gorge over the years, still have a few spots we haven't been to yet too, like Savlon hut. Maybe next summer! I'll post a video if we do. Cheers

    Nice vid Stu and Coralie. Been a few years since I climbed the burn. We used to park a car at the Moanui then travel back and wander up the Wairata towards Nikau and Koranga forks huts. Nice country.

  • @youabsolutelegend1265
    @youabsolutelegend1265 Před 7 měsíci

    I didn't find the Rock of Ages Biv either. It seems to be a lot more west (300 m west of a line down from the stream flowing from the north, you see in your video). So you probably have to cross the Kitchener River before your campsite (to avoid the bush right up against the river) and cross it again at some point 600 m West, then it is 60m into the bush.
