- I leave the isolated beach I had camped at, then head inland to one of New Zealand's most famous tracks, with its stunning valleys and rivers, but I get hit by the change the locals were waiting for.

We've watch the series and this is our 1st comment.
Being South Islanders ourselves, with a 2 up adventure bike passion, it's great to see roads to add to our to-do list.
Thankyou for sharing.
It's great to hear you are enjoying the series, There are so many roads to explore on the South Island. I am glad the episode could help you fine more roads to explore.
you seem to be such a balanced personality, no swearing, no rambling, just laughing over your soacked clothes. I am lovin' it! Cheers!
I am all about having fun exploring even in soaking wet condition, it's a privilege just to be able to explore this incredible island. It's great to hear you are enjoying the series.
its the best, no need to be serious or cuss up a storm (sometimes though) riding makes ya so balanced, :)
It cannot get any better than this Joe, you are seeing and showing parts of NZ most people would never experience, I'm like your other followers, this is the best, most down to earth motorcycling CZcams channel there is ..... I admit I have followed Itchy Boots for a few years, where she goes is mind boggling but an Aussie biker adventurer like you is closer to home .... with fantastic photography all through to boot ....cheers
Thanks Rodney, it's great to hear you are still enjoying the series. There are still a couple more episode to come from New Zealand, then planning the next journey.
Beautiful scenery.
Yes it is yet another stunning valley here in NZ
Joe, another fantastic video - your positive spirit is terrific. I love how your enthusiasm is undeterred by the liquid sunshine.
Thanks Mark, it great to hear you enjoyed the episode. Well it's not a bad day when you're being chased by rainbows.
As always another stunning ride my friend, incredible scenery to say the least. You know I believe a whole segment could be made on just the weather aspect of motorcycle travels, the pitfalls of doing these travels, but if your going to do them you have to embrace the good with the bad, there is no other alternative, and rain suits, I feel the need to cuss them often, even just thinking about them, oh well it comes with the package, makes us really appreciate the days when the weather in great. Take care care my friend be safe out there. Me and my buddy shove off on our epic trip next week and where we’re going the weather will be our challenge as well, Alaska here we come. Take care, I’ll be watching your next video in my tent, Hang in there. Rob U.S.
Thanks Rob, it's always great to hear you enjoyed it. Yes the weather is all part of the experience. Have an awesome trip on your way to Alaska, it sounds epic.
Mate, I love the allure of just “ wandering” on the bike ❤❤❤
It is a great way to travel, it takes away any stress of deadlines, schedules and expectations, so you get to explore and be present in what is happening at the time.
Hi Joe. What a great area. Great for a motorbike. Been following all your travels and love it. I will go and get that single tree print if you remember where in Australia. Thanks for sharing. Cheers John from Gold Coast
Yes there are so many tracks to explore with some stunning landscapes. It is great to hear you are enjoying the series.
There are a couple of single trees, there is the Dusk Lone Tree which was taken at Mayfield Bay Tasmania looking south and there is the Boab tree just past the turn to Derby in northern WA. If you need anymore information, just let me know, thanks for the support.
My late partner had taking our 7 metre housebus through Molesworth high on his bucket list. We did the journey in 2011...on one of the hottest days in some years. No trees for shade, and no aircon...so we drove with the windows open and just kept moving. There were a couple of fords....dry...but it looks like there's a couple of new bridges now. Apart from a large mob of sheep being mustered at the north end, we only encountered a handful of cattle. Some of the passes between valleys were steep enough for me to shift into the seldom used first gear. I made a wrong turn at the Hamner end , which required a nineteen point turn and the tail end of the bus hanging out over the edge. The drop down into Hamner Springs was awesome, and the town was packed solid. We were on a mission for a FruJu, and after three circuits and no parking, I stopped mid lane, deployed the hazard warning lights and ducked into the nearest shop to make the life saving purchase. I won't go on about the dust we collected...but it was 10 mm thick on the dash... and 13 years later I'm still finding the odd deposit. Thanks mate for the nostalgic trip...awesome video.
you're welcome mate, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode. Your trip sounds like quite an adventure, it funny how all the things you don't plan are the things you remember.
I immediately switch off all the buzz in my head, as soon as I hear Joe´s voice. Accompanied by the calm rolling hills and valleys he´s passing by.
The music really complement the voice and the visual "drama"... ;-)
Can´t wait for the next episode.
It is great to hear that you enjoyed the episode mate, New Zealand just keep delivering amazing landscapes.
Terrific video blog Joe...loving the scenery and the commentary too . An old biker from AUS . My next trip is being planned over there
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series. It's a great place to explore on a bike, you have an awesome time.
Don't know how you do it, but some of your videography is quite amazing and seems to need time to back track and set the scene. Man, it works so, so well. Love your channel.
Thanks Deane, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series. Yes it takes a little longer but I think it is worth it to get a better idea of where I am riding through.
Another great episode Joe - don't want to see it end
Thank you for the support Jamie, it is greatly appreciated. Well there are only a couple episodes left, but I am working on something for a new series, hopefully you'll enjoy it just as much.
... Oh man your doing the stuff I've always wanted ro do .. Australia and NZ on a bike ... Solo ! ... One day ill get it done .. rhanks dor the inspiration brutha 🙏
It's definitely worth making the time. the Australia trip I didn't have much of a budget so free camped most of the time and ate tin tuna fruit an veg to keep the cost down, so definitely doing able on a small budget. I hope you get to do it.
@@freewayproject ... Might take a few years before I can be free enough from commitments mate but I'll get there eventually.. in the interim I'll keep inspired by you and others living the life 🙏
One side mountains other side waves and in between that perfect off-road trail
what else a man with adv bike can think of... pure bliss 🤩
It is an incredible place to explore, it has it all, yes as you say pure bliss and perfect. I hope you enjoyed the episode.
@@freewayproject That's a great work behind your each episode, really loving it :)
They are redwoods at Hamner not pines.
Planted 140 years ago. Enjoyed your video , thanks.
Thanks for the correction Stuart, now I think about it yes they even look like red wood 🤦🏼♂️, I totally missed that one. It's great to hear you are enjoying the series.
Oh No, not the wet weather pants :) Great episode once again Joe......
haha yep destroyed my $25 wet weather pants, next time I'll have to try them on to makes sure I can get into them quicker and well also that they fit properly. It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode.
Great filming in such testing conditions and I really liked your musical choice.
Thanks Ralf, as always I am glad you enjoyed the episode. I was surprised I didn't get more days of rain over the last few weeks.
Love it. One half of us misses home. Thanks for your beautiful videography & commentary. It means more than you will ever know. ❤️
It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode. I definitely understand why you would miss the place, it is incredible.
Just made my Friday night thanks Joe,wonderful video as always.
Thank you for the kind words in the letter you wrote to me ✨👍🫡
Thanks Geoff, it's always great to hear you enjoyed the episode and again thank you for the support, the next journey is definitely happening.
All I can say is awesome!👍😁
Thanks mate, it's always good to hear you enjoyed it.
Joe, I really like your point about being at place, at a particular time. I've missed so much on my travels because of having to get there at a planned time. Luv your comedy capers re those rain pants. That family friend stay was very impressive. Great commentary and video as usual. 👏👏
Thanks mate, it's always good to hear you enjoyed it. Yes it is kind of a luxury to have time and not place to be. Yes lesson learnt with the rain pants, will actually try them on next time I buy some. Yes not a bad shack, a little more roomy than the tent.
The night time wind gusts are katabatic winds and relatively common in mountainous areas at night time
Thanks for the information, they do get really strong.
Thanks Joe, another awesome video of the homeland, you know if you keep this up, I will have to move back!
Probably make a few Aussies happy that a K1W1 makes the return one-way trip!
Keep up the excellent work while I plan a trip home.
Thanks Shayne, It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode.
One of my favourite rides the Molesworth & Rainbow
Try Scott Rain gear it’s the best I’ve ever owned leave your boots on 😊.
Another great video thank you 🙏
They are both great tracks. thanks for the information, definitely going to invest in better rain gear and ones I can leave boots on. It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode.
Amazing country. Thanks for the trip
It is a stunning place New Zealand, I am very happy I came to explore.
Another brilliant video postcard. Bravo, Joe.
Always great to hear you enjoyed it mate.
May I add my thumbs up here with Tim. Great riding and lovely relaxed presentational style you have. And another subscription - though I see you have plenty 👍
Did that Molesworth in the other direction many moons ago in my first van with dad and my twin. Wasn't sure how the rear wheel drive would go so bought 300kg of apricots and popped them in the back. Amazing in the summer with the blue borage everywhere.
Even being a bit wet, it was still stunning. Now thats one way to get some traction over the back axle 👌🏻
i was so engrossed watching this that I burnt breakfast…🤣. Nice work as always
😂 sorry to hear you burnt breakfast, but great to know you enjoyed the episode Adam.
The Lord loves a trier, thankyou for your reply. David
You’ll never know if you don’t try.
Another great ride, thanks Joe.
Thanks mate, as always it is great to hear you enjoyed it.
Beautiful video and stills. Thanks Joe. It’s great that you are so honest about dropping the bike etc. still loving the bridges. Annie 🐧
Thanks Annie, it's always good to hear you enjoyed the episode. Oh I am your average Joe when it comes to riding, and definitely will continue to drop the bike, that's why I don't go near big bikes as I ride solo and would never be able to lift one of those big bikes.
I know what you mean. My bike before this one was a Himslayan. Loved it. But it got a bit too heavy for me so now I have my baby beema. I’m 73 and loosing a bit of upper body strength, not so much when I’m riding it’s more of a problem for me when parking and moving the bike around in the garage at home. I still say, you can’t beat a good bridge!!! Annie 🐧
Another great video. I've been to the South Island many times but never on those gravel roads. You've whetted my appetite.
Thank you for the support it is greatly appreciated and will go toward the next journey. If you get a chance the gravel road are definitely worth it, getting you to some incredible places. Molesworth Track would be a great one to start with as it is well maintain and very easy for a gravel road.
Thanks Joe, Great Molesworth episode..
It was a little wet but still stunning. It is an easier track than the rainbow one too, the road was very well maintained.
You've had a great run with the weather, not bad roads when theyre a bit moist.
Had to laugh when you dropped the RE, i dropped my yamaha the exact same way.
Yes, I have been super lucky with weather. Yes I need to find rain paints that are actually large enough not just say it on the tag 😂😂😂 oh well all part of the fun. I hope you enjoyed the episode.
NZ weather mate 😂, I have the same pants as yours , they are very comfortable hay . I’m going to have to go back NZ and ride it again, this time more off road 👍, safe travels mate
I am stunned I haven't had a lot more rain, I feel like I have been very lucky with the weather. Yes they are way more comfortable than anything else I have tried, so I don't mind having to put wet weather pants over the top. Maybe I should try on the next set of wet weather pants before buying then to see if they properly fit 🤦🏼♂️😂
Another great episode Joe magic well done
Thanks David, it’s always great to hear you the episode.
Fabulous! Love the shack, or the bach as NZ'ers would call it.
haha yes that was the name they used "Bach". Yes the place was a little more spacious than the tent and way easier to dry my wet cloths.
Unless you're from way down sth where they call it a crib
@@dalegrover7633 I never knew that. Thanks.
Love your content for so many reasons.
My only critique would be you should really invest in the center stand kit for your Scram. It will allow you to mount the bike so much easier like mounting a horse, as well as make road side maintenance so much easier.
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series.
A centre stand kit would be good and if it was my bike I would definitely get one as I have one on my Himalayan. Royal Enfield lent me the bike to do the trip through New Zealand which I am very grateful for, but it means it is stock standard.
@@freewayproject I was unaware the bike was a loaned to you. I have the same exact Scram color and all.
@@thegreenman2030 It is a great bike for this kind of riding, even episode 4 with all the water crossings and episode 9 climbing a few rocky steeper tracks, and it handles a bit better on the road with the 19 inch front wheel compared to the Himalayan 411.
I only mentioned briefly that Royal Enfield loaned me the bike in episode 1, so if you missed that one it would probably seem like it was my bike.
The rain adds to the mood, so not really a problem (unless you're the one getting wet!). Great photos of the day regardless. Thanks,
Yes it does add to the mood. Oh the rain is all good, the sun came out and I dried off and I got to spend the night in the small shake at the end of the day 😁.
Joe.. Mate another awesome episode in your series. One thing I have noticed is that you seem to have all those beautiful valleys and country roads all to yourself mate not much traffic at all ... So peaceful. And you always lift the spirit mate. Thanks for another epic part of your journey. 👍🍻
Thanks mate, it is always good to hear you enjoyed the episode. Yes so many of these roads are empty, so I get them all to myself which is amazing.
Finally I too decided to buy a adventure bike
They are a lot of fun and allow you to explore some very interesting and beautiful places.
So what did you get?
@@pippacarron1861 triumph scrambler 400
As always Joe bloody awesome 🙌🏻
Thanks James, it great to hear you enjoyed the episode.
That scene of you pulling over after all that time to put ya wet strides on dropping the steed then finding that shelter just around the corner was priceless everyone who has ridden a bike knows that feeling mate 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
@@jamescarr9140 yep, I think my head dropped when I saw it haha
Beautifull New Zeeland, thanks Joe. So enjoying your excellent video and commentary
You are right there mate, New Zealand is stunningly beautiful everywhere I go. It's great to hear you are enjoying the series.
My wife, son and I did the Molesworth a couple of days after you on the last day it was open for the year. We had brilliant fine weather and I loved it enough to want to do it again in the other direction. I was less than impressed with DOC closing the road due to fire risk when other DOC roads were open and they were still allowing tourist operators to take van loads through. Love your vids btw. Your laid back narration is almost kiwi-ish!
It's great to hear you are enjoying the series. I'll have to come back and do it in the dry next time, but everywhere has been amazing to explore in New Zealand so definitely coming back.
It’s so nice to watch a Moto travel where the lead rider is not preaching his own narcissistic macho hero bull with loud hard music in the background. Your stuff is easy to watch. Keep it up. There’s an Irish bar in Picton.
A dancing lady stepped on my foot and crunched some bones. I like a motorcycle with a cane across the back. Ha
Thanks mate, It's great to hear you are enjoying the series. It sounds like you have a fare few stories to tell
I have finally caught up on the NZ episodes and can't wait for the next one. I want to echo what has been said in some of the comments: you have such a great, relaxed vibe and it is such a pleasure to watch you enjoying and discovering. And the unique perspective of seeing parts of my country from an entirely different view. Incredible!
Thanks for all the support of watching all the episode, it does help. It's great to hear you are enjoying the, New Zealand is such an incredible place to explore. Just a couple episodes left, but I am working on something else that hopefully will be just as entertaining.
Beautiful landscape photos and videos
Yes New Zealand is stunning everywhere I gone there is something unique and breathtaking
Ya done it again Joe, great vlog! LMAO when you fall over on mounting the bike, and yes I've done something similar many times. Keep on keeping on!
Thanks Pete, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode. Definitely lesson learn I should probably try on the wet weather pants before buying them 😂😂😂
Jeez Joe
I’ve been watching you for maybe a year now
I swear you should be called the “ rain man”
Everywhere you go it pours
Sell your services to drought regions
No divining forks required
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂, there's an idea. I go when I can, I think if I waited for the best time of the year I'd be waiting to long. I am surprised that this was the first solid rain I got in New Zealand that lasted a good chunk of the day, all part of the adventure I guess.
I’m a bit of a photographer hack I really love the clarity, colour and tone of your work it’s very impressive
Hi Joe a great episode, really enjoyed the video.
I ride with Rohan Men's dry waterproof cargo trousers as my standard. They are excellent and very durable. They are waterproof to a point, just like you found yourself in. Then I put on proper waterproof trousers as the rain persits. Another advantage of Rohan is they are high wicking and dry quickly when the rain stops.
Thanks Stephan, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode and thanks for the information I'll check them out.
Another awesome episode. I love the drone footage it really adds another level to the production. Safe travels.
Thanks Neil, it's always good to hear you enjoyed the episode.
Breathtaking .
New Zealand is definitely that, even in the rain there is something magical about the place. It's great to hear you enjoyed it.
Cracking video Joe, just great. Finished binge watching the Australian Roam and watched you scoot thru Albany where I used to live, awesome spot that and past Adelaide where I live now but before that I travelled NZ for 10 years and its great to see some of these spots again, so thank you. Know you dont like tourist spots but you have to take a swim (maybe late in the day to avoid tourists) at Kerosine creek or failing that head to Kawhia as you can dig in the sand and warm geothermal water comes out.
Thank mate, it great to hear you enjoy this episode and also some of the other series. Warm geothermal water does sound inviting.
Another awesome ride to accompany you on Joe. The Shelter. Buggar.
Tell me, how to you find the gravel? How do you look at your maps and then determine that they're gravel and that they go somewhere??
I was waiting for you to tear the arse out of your wet weather pants trying to get over your bike. Haha.
Nice run bit for sure. 👌
Thanks mate, it is always good to hear you enjoyed the episode. Yes when you need a shelter it will only appear once you no longer need it 😂
I did a bit of googling and found a couple of site www.wikiloc.com/ which had a few trails. I only got told about this one but it was too late for me to make any use of it www.adventureridingnz.co.nz/gps-tracks-rides/south-island-tracks/
I hope that helps
Loved it! Thanks Joe 🙏
It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode Mark.
Thanks!
thank you for the continued support Larry, there are a couple more episodes to go from the series.
I'm so excited! Friday's the best day now
That's great to hear, I hope you enjoyed the episode.
Absolutely fantastic. Thankyou.
@@freewayprojectoh BTW
Though I only live an hour away from Bird Tree, I've never tried Hanam Vale road. Really nice road and it's made a nice loop from there to Lorne Road up to Comboyn, down Toms Creek Road, to the Oxley and then back home.
So thank Dave for me.
@@gasdive I will do, I gave Dave shit for sending me up the goat track haha😂, He'll be like yer see, it was a great way to go
@@freewayproject maybe not the goat track bit!
mate. i love your videos. they're the most grounding thing.
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series, I am having a lot of fun exploring New Zealand.
Joe....it's not rambling around....your an Aussie.....it's a ride about.....😁😁 Did you remove from the picture that sign that says BMW parking only? You have the skills to alter photos...🤔🤫 The bike looks like a Royal Beamer in that setting...or maybe just Royalty.... Garth
haha, yes definitely on a kind of walk about. Yes that house was quite fancy, I am sure I the bike could sneak in there amounts some Beamers 😂
Its time Bro 2XL you will be happier to get that leg over. Good entertainment
Yes William, I think I should actually try them on next time rather than just grabbing some as I was heading into rain on a trip back in Australia, lesson learnt. It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode.
Hey Joe,
great storys and exploring! Thanks for that! Do you edit your videos by yourself or is there someone else supporting you? Which program do you use for editing?
Thank you- and keep on riding! Greetings from germany!😊
Thanks mate, it is great to hear you are enjoying the series.It's just me so I do it all myself. I am on an Apple Mac laptop so I use Final Cut Pro as it is faster and has all the features I need to be able to edit. I've spent a far bit of time in Germany, I really enjoyed my time there.
Epic one Joe, as always 🎉
Thanks Suyama, it's always great to hear you enjoyed the episode.
Nice to see you spoil yourself. Well done video as always.
As always thank you for the support it is greatly appreciated and going towards the next journey which is now a goer. I am glad I did stay at that place as that wind in the morning would have been closing the tent down flat all night.
@@freewayproject You are certainly hardcore with your rides but sometimes it is good to relax somewhere comfortable. Stay safe.
Oh! Brother!! ...who put that Moon up there? Myself? - I couldn't photograph a water Puddle in a Rain Storm
// The Enfield is a bit of a Star too. She needs a Skirt Buddy. 3 times trying to get a leg over... Hmmm! // But - As usual Good things surely happen for some. huh?!
// Go well bro!
Yes I came around the corner and saw it just sitting above the hills so big. The big is doing great, I wasn't sure what it would be like compared to the Himalayan but it has handled everything I have needed it to do to get me around the island.
Yes note to self, actually try on the wet weather pants next time don't rely on what is written as the sizes so I can actually move in them. Also try not to knock it out of gear when I drop it on a slop, lots of lessons learn in that one.
Where was the campsite? Looked beautiful
It was at the end of the Blythe River, follow the river track to the beach then turn right.
@@freewayproject Thanks mate , can’t wait to head there myself when the weather clears! Love watching your journey
Very good content, but i am so late!
Will we see at least one big spider through NZ series :-?
Thanks mate, I haven't seen any yet haha. They have spiders but nothing super big.
14:36 need to learn how to cartwheel onto your motorbike 🤸♂️🏍 just plan it so you end up facing forwards. 😅
haha, there is an idea
Such a shame you didn't do Jollies Pass out of Hanmer up onto the Molesworth instead of Jacks, it would have saved you a decent amount of km, about 15k I think.
I'm in Nelson & am lucky enough to have pretty quick access to Rainbow/Molesworth, slightly spoiled eh 😊
Definitely spoiled, but that is epic. The guy who ran the place I stayed at said there where some massive pot hole on the Jollies Pass stretch when I went through, so instead of tackling them in the dark I went the other way, it's all incredible.
I hope you enjoyed the episode.
@@freewayproject sure did enjoy it, thanks 👌
The hole is not that big btw 😊
@@dalegrover7633 🤣😂🤣 barley noticeable
Been down Jolly’s to Hamner, very steep. Don’t know how you would go trying to get up it.
You are the MAN. No doubt. Not Showy. Just frig'n down to Earth with out the Fancy Showy "look at Me" Social Crap. Good stuff "Joe Bro". And F**k man, you are quite the Artist with that Camera.
Thanks mate, it great to hear you are enjoying the series. I am having a lot of fun exploring New Zealand and experiencing what ever happens, it's all part of the journey.
NIce
Thanks mate, great to hear you enjoyed the episode.
You don't wear riding boots do you, just work boots, same with MCA on youtube, twas the reason I went with workboots as well. Cannot afford bike specific boots, can't justify the cost. Great vlog again.
Thanks Ric, it's great to hear you enjoyed it. I don't have a full boot at the moment no, I guess it depends on how you are riding, if you're going to be pushing it more like you would on a dirt bike (more chance of coming off at a weird angle) then it would be worth it, but I am just cruising and playing it safe as I am riding solo.
At least you don't have to drop your wet weathers to take a leak now😂
😂😂😂 I like your thinking there is always a silver lining.
Hi mate
What are your thoughts on the Scram
I’m looking at a 2022 model for sale over the weekend
Hi mate, I am doing a review at the end of the series which sounds like it maybe to late, but the bikes are very similar, it just depends where you spend more time, on or off road. The Scram handles better on the rode through the tight twisty corners due to the smaller front wheel. The Himalayan is a little bit better off road with the 21 inch front wheel.
If you have watch all the New Zealand so far the terrain I have gone over the Scram had no issue, even the steeper climbs in Episode 9. If you were going to spend more time on rockier steeper climbs then the Himalayan might be better, if steeper rocker and loser again then a dirt bike.
I found the seat on the Scram more comfortable, the dash is easier to read on the Scram
I hope that helps
I really like your videos, but have one criticism-you typically have a 3-4 second video before changing to a different video, which I find hard to follow. It could be just my age, but I suggest perhaps 5-6 second clips which would be easier on my eyes
it's great to hear you are enjoying the series and thanks for the feedback, it all helps.
How are you finding the Scram, I'm thinking of a new Himalayan or would you prefer your 411 Himalayan to the new model ?
The scam has been great for this type of riding, if you were interested in riding more technical, steeper, harder, off-road than you’d probably look more towards the Himalayan, the scram handles better on road with the smaller front wheel, I have not ridden the new Himalayan, but from what I’ve heard it is an improvement in all the areas you’d want compared to the older Himalaya. I am going to do a review of the scram at the end of the series in a few weeks time, if that interests you
How do you control the drone at the end? nice work.
It's a follow mode, you put your self in the frame, drag your fingers across and it forms a rectangle around you, then the drone knows that it what you want it to follow. as long as nothing gets in the line of sight then it will keep doing it at the same distance.
Hey Joe !
I've been following your travels from France. Amazing footage, keep up the spirit !🙂 I'll sure be watching the next episode
@@avskoko Thanks mate, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series. I have spent a fair bit of time in France, love the place, but haven't been for a while, I need to go back.
Isn't it funny bro, you can only get 2 out of 3 : warm, sunny but windy, or: warm, not windy but raining, or: not windy, not raining but cold ...
😂 you are right, but I feel like I have been pretty lucky traveling around New Zealand with weather, I was expecting a lot worse. I hope you enjoyed the episode.
Check out bc Canada maybe ten trillion times nicer
Hi Keith, I was based in Squamish BC for quite a while and was lucky enough to ride a lot of tracks and trails, and explore quite a few regions. Yes BC is stunningly beautiful, how ever I do fine beauty in all different landscapes form deserts to forest, from the mountains to the ocean, it's amazing to be able to explore it all. But I'll definitely be heading back to BC in the future to explore more. I hope you're having fun out there.
Thanks!
Thank you for the support Matt, it is greatly appreciated and will go towards the next journey. There are still a couple more episodes to come in this series. I hope you enjoy them
Thanks!
Thank you again for the support mate, it is greatly appreciated.
