- @KINGS COUNTY ADVENTURES A bunch of us from the Sussex Valley ATV club got together and planed this trip to Newfoundland for July 2023. Mark did most of the leg work if not all of it. Everyone on the trip made a contribution to this video. We had a great time and had no issues wit any of the machines. Trails were very nice and the scenery was incredible. Motels and food were as good as anywhere and most of the towns and roads were welcoming to ATV traffic. All the folks we bumped into in Newfoundland we extremely friendly, (no surprise there).
The parking in North Sydney, Cape Breton was very adequate, and the ferry to Port aux Basque and back was pleasurable.
The trip was quite exhausting for me doing more than 150km each day, but the adventure of what laid around the next turn kept us all motivated!
Would I go again?.....When do we leave!!!

Thank you. - Sport
Awesome final view.
I grew up behind the dream catcher . It was called Whites Hotel back then. Mr. White built the hotel and had a garden in the back , he would hang a bag of vegetables on the fence for me to pick up early Sunday mornings so grandma would have fresh veggies for Sunday dinner. I am looking forward to getting back home for some riding. Will do a night at pirates haven and a night in deer lake. Thanks for sharing your adventure, Brought back some good memories .
Thanks so much for watching. It feels so good to spark someonnes childhood memories. Pirates Coce is awesome. Love you Newfies!!!
Just got booked in myself for 2024. Will be my first time on the island. Really looking forward to it. I'll be overlanding the west coast
Thanks for watching. You will absolutely love it. We did the western side of the island. Good luck.
Would like to see where the ocean goes.
Thank you so much for watching. Where does the ocean go?? We really enjoyed the experience. Thanks again!! Cheers
Awesome video, I'm from stephenville and am going on vacation June there, thanks for the vid
Hey man, Someone else told me I went past their childhood house! Thanks so much for watching. My next trip to the Rock will be by car. Loved the hospitality.
Look like an awesome adventure . 👍
Thanks for watching. The scenes, terrain, motels, food, trails, and especially the group all made it one incredible adventure. Thanks
Great video and great to see you back, 😁! Beautiful scenery. Looks like the Teryx did great in the rough stuff.
Thanks for watching. Both the Teryx's and the two Yamahas did very well. Only one rider without lots of experience shied away from the last hill. When we got home I did edit this video, just before I was about to publish it, it dissapeared from the software. I wasn't a happy camper and it took months with some pressure to get back at it.
Glad you liked it
Thanks
It looks like you guys had a great trip! Even if it was a bit wet at the bigginig 😅
Thanks very much for watching! Yes the beginning was a bit wet, but we all stuck togeather, there was no turning back. Thankfully things improved over time. Yes indeed we had an excellent time with a great bunch.
Wow, what an amazing adventure with some very impressive scenery. The hill climb and descent was a bit sketchy, along with the water crossing, but everyone did great and took their time. Looks like everyone had a blast. I could get use to those views. Thanks for sharing, fun to watch! Cheers!
Hey, Thanks for watching man. Yes the scenery was very impressive. We were warned about the river and a path suggested from people we met along the way. That was fun. The rocks were challenging, no problem with the grip, but lacked a bit on bottom clearance. If you haven't already, please consider subscribing. Thanks.
I’ve lived in Sussex my whole life. Levi did some metal work for me a few months back and he was talking about going on this trip. I did this trip back in 2007 but on ATVs and it rained 90% of the time but still memorable. I will be purchasing a Can-Am X3 this year. It will be my first side-by-side after 25 years on an ATV. I hope to get back over to do this trip again, but in more comfort lol. Thanks for posting your adventure
Thanks so much for watching! Levi does excellent work, as I noticed with his windshield job. Please consider subscribing if you haven't already. Thanks
43:52 the landslide right in the center of the shot at one time was very, very like the map of Newfoundland, It has changed over the years but you can still see the likeness.
Hey man, thanks for watching. With a great comment like this, sure shows you were enjoying the video. I'll have to watch it again to see the resemblance of the geography as pointed out, Thank you!!!
The windy section of the trail outside Port Aux Basque that runs open near the ocean is known as Lockie's or Wreckhouse. Those of you who are familiar with The Weather Network may have heard the term "Wreckhouse Winds".
Thanks for watching, and the great comment. That was the first time in that part of the rock. Yes I have heard of Wreckhouse Winds. Now I can better appreciate the term. Thanks for this info
Great video guys!
I heard 1 guy in your group calling your UTV'S "Bikes" for some reason. Those are in no way, shape or form bikes.... tell him to catch up with the rest of us normal folk that call them atv's or SxS's would ya
Thanks very much for watching. Yes, in the heat of the moment at time words slip. I will review the video and that guy will be severely reprimanded!!!
What are the details for this year’s trip… interested in this
Thanks so much for watching
The same crew will be doing Quebec this year. Unfortunately, I'll be too busy on another project. Thank you
Looks like a great trip Buster! Also glad to see your doing well. I’m enjoying your videos. I’m currently in the planning phase of crossing NFLD. Did the rmax with you have any height trouble in greenwood inn parking garage? I seen the Brian was close with his teryx was that just due to the tire on his roof?
Hey Mike, thanks for watching! Are you the same Wambolt I worked with at the mill? Sorry I forgot your first name. The R Max didn't have any height issues. Just one Treyx with his spare tire mounted on the roof. Have fun on the trip. Hey Mike good to hear from you and hope would consider subscribing if you haven't already. Cheers
@@KINGSCOUNTYADVENTURES Didn’t think you’d remember me but yes we worked together at the mill when I was a student there. Glad to hear the Rmax didn’t have any issues with height in the parking garage, that’s what I drive. Already subscribed, been subscribed for a bit, I enjoy your videos and glad to see your still well and out enjoying the outdoors.
Yes, of course I remembered you as a student. I was glad to show you what I did and sincerely hope I might have passed on just at lleast one little tip to improve your future. I met up with you again at Lepreau. Obviously you are successful with your work, keep it up Mike
For Such a trip, what do you wish you would have taken with you?
Thanks so much for watching. Geez, what an interesting question! A lot of planing went into this trip and we think we had all the bases covered. Thankfully we had no issues. In hindsight perhaps we could have planed our evenings a little better, mabey mingling with the locals.
I think when they wash the dirt off vehicles at the ferry terminal it has more to do with trying to contain the Potatoe blight. It came here during the big immigration of Irish folks during the Potatoe famine back in Ireland.
I think yoy are absolutely right. Thanks for watching and the comment. I only heard about getting washed down and knew it had to do with carringing contaminates to the mainland. Thanks again.
Serpentine and Little Codroy are something else. Full little codroy video i took. czcams.com/video/YR6lqD9BcBg/video.htmlsi=TQIRX7SSWkAfyesW
I think I've been there LOL. this looks like a much better day
Sorry but it doesn't compare to snowmobiling. I'm surprised to see these trails in the sand dunes and crossing rivers
Thanks for watching. Yep you're right, snowmobiling is tottaly a different sport. I too was very surprised to see trails in the sand dunes and crossing the open river. Not like that in NB.
Six days and you never showed one mealtime or evening party time. Not like the Newfies
Thanks for watching. As I was editing my footage thats one thing I also realized. With very long days, cleaning and maintenance, dealing with dirty clothing, I think I just needed a few minutes away from the camera. This was my first multi day run and I've learned a lot about time management on the trails. I can assure you we did have very enjoyable evenings. Thanks.
Did they get screeched in
No. We didn't give it a thought, dispite all the planing going into the trip. I think our best opporyunity would have been at The Pirates Cove Lodge. What an atmosphere.
You guys needed a guide, you missed so much. Maybe it was edited out.
Thank you. Nothing was edited out. We had one fantastic time, even though it would havee been much better with a guide.
Typical Newfies 😂😂😂
Yep, A real blast!!
You guys needed a guide, you missed so much. Maybe it was edited out.
Thanks so much for watching. No question about that one, We were happy to see what we did, We did meet a few along the way who pointed us towards a guide. I'd love to go back another time.
