Bikepacking New Zealand's Last Wilderness // Where Mountains Meet Sea
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 08. 2021
- Growing up as a kid, I was told the stories of the journeys taken by the Māori people searching for Pounamu (Greenstone) on the South Island's west coast. Journeys that took them over mountain ranges, rivers, and dense bush - all in search for this sacred stone.
Those journeys laid the seed for an idea: wouldn’t it be neat to link up some of these old trails and, in doing so, ride up some of the best single track we have here in Aotearoa New Zealand. In May 2021, me and four friends set off to do just that. This film documents our 4-day journey, attempting a complete circumnavigation of Kahurangi National Park.

This is inspiring, the narrative is powerful, and those landscapes and nature are so beautiful, mostly the wilderness, and I like the most is the time with friends and living in those moments. Thanks for sharing. Kudos! love from the Philippines :)
Thanks Jerwin! It was a special trip, for sure. A well needed escape to the mountains with good company. Take care.
