I’ve lived here for the last 40 years came here when I was 6 I love this town great place to raise a family
Nice triumph. I have done the coro loop twice in 2023 on a 2011 Bonneville with a few mods too. Great bikes
Damn nice camping place!
Absolutely!
How deep is it ? Is it good for swimming/ jumping off the rocks ?
Deep in the main shots where we are swimming .you can jump off boulders that are in the river
Nice before and after shots
Should have done the ride up river a bit as well where they a cycle bridge over the river to a little settlement but otherwise all good.
That's in the video!
Hi. What type of ebikes did you use? And did you make any modifications for those long travels on bike. Cheers Joseph
Sorry for late reply they are ET.Cycle T1000 Fat Tyre E-Bike, 48V 21 Ah, 1008Wh, Hydraulic Brakes [Matt Black] Not modified but we carry tools spare chain inner tube for unexpected events just done 1000kms so far and replaced 1 chain as a link broke. Been super reliable and they have a throttle so you can always cheat! Or if your chain breaks like mine did and being rear motor I just used the throttle to get back to our car. They are heavy but this does not effect you on them just loading onto the rack takes a technique for 1 person or easy with 2
Cool video mate
Castlecliff that’s wassup #344
Hi great video Thanks
Thanks for watching!
my golly, you are so handsome Jonathan, I must watch this over and over again.
I know.....
Hi. Great video. I'm from Whanganui and am a great fan of the shared pathways. It was'nt till recent years that we better utilized the riverbank corridor in this manner. The video has a bonus or two for trainspotters like myself lol.
Looking at doing a recky down there to house hunt.
I think it is a great place to get a house. Palmerston North, which is a major land transport hub, is just 45 mins travel time on SH3. The NZDF has important bases in the neighboring Manawatu as well. The central NI Mountains are 1.25 hrs to the North and the prosperous Taranaki Region is to the West. I think Whanganui will become a location that will have a property price increase in the near future
Another epic adventure, always fun to catch up with you guys. With love, Ruru Retreat 👍
We visited Whanganui for a few hours in 2019 during our trip to NZ from the UK. We loved the house at 5 mins 16 secs, it looks no different now. We'll be back in the Wellington area in September and will definitely be heading for the paddle steamer, we never even knew it was there last time. Thanks for the video
Looks like we should try that trip too, Love biking xx Well done enjoyed your video!
Nothing to flash, but we had to do it, always passing through so good to check the place out
Thanks for the video! We will be there next year and are reale looking forward to it;-) Best regards Roman H.
Hope you enjoy it!
There used to be dozens of bronze plaques on the rocks years ago for those who got swept away and drowned, can't remember why they took them away.
Seems a shame , just adds to the warnings surely, plus tributes to those that lost their lives,??
This has me sold on going there. Looks amazing. Can you walk it as wellor only cycle
You can cycle or walk, well worth doing cheers
haha, chickens at the garage, love it!. Another great video, like your style. Castlepoint has been added to our itinerary!
How cool you can sit in your house in America and watch some keen good folks on vacation in New Zealand. Life is grand.
Awesome video. Do you still have your bike ? Auckland
Actually wrote it off a month ago!
Wrote it off!
Oh my GOD, that view though! And what an interesting looking place.
Nice video !! Stay strong NZ, here in Taiwan we got it back near zero. (see our videos)
Back when I was reping I used to stay at the Leviathan hotel, they did a sales rep discount and provided breakfast, it was all rushing around back then, time to go back and slow travel, thanks for the inspiration!
Ha what a coincidence, great location too, being right in downtown. xxx
Great New Zealand Video! I do make bmx video in New Zealand 😃. I subscribed to you
Appreciate your beautiful video... I'm in S. California, USA ... 1st time seeing some awesome and breathtaking scenery of New Zealand!!! Both of you should be tour guides 😄 🌺🌴🌘 Thank you !!!
So nice of you, thanks
I've had many great memories fishing there. Also, castle point is a breeding ground for the Mako shark.
Last time I surf there then 😆
Awesome guys, love your work!
Thank you
Yes mate.... exactly 👍👍
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
I'm a kiwi living in Australia, watching videos like this makes me a bit home sick - even after 24years here in OZ! Thank you for filming this, people like me like in other countries need this footage to remember home.
Cheers mate. Comments like this are really encouraging. Appreciate it
love ya work bud, I liked your videos, start to watch more and more, may have to catch up and come for a ride I hope to be Kapati coast with my Beemer real soon.
Welcome aboard! summer here again time for more adventures
Cool video. Are you able to drive your ute right to the tent site?
Yes you can! fantastic place, just a short walk to the River
Brilliant seeing the gorge during the day. I did that run at circa 10pm on the TT2000 this year, and only saw darkness, dead possums - oh, and I ran over two hedgehogs. I’ll definitely go back. Nice vid.
Its bliss in the sunshine, got to get back soon too! Thanks for watching!
watched your video on that. will look at the tt2000 next year, fancy the n800 first
@@christownson790 Nice one, and thanks for subscribing too. I did the gorge again on this year’s NI800. So lovely. Hopefully see you at this year’s 800 / 1600
Brilliant restful spot, that’s what’s great about NZ!
You know it, so many hidden gems
Such a magic swimming spot!
Yeah, the water was so clear and the colors unbelievably bright.
He said the place name wrong twice🤪
I know I'm hopeless!
Big thumbs up. Thanks for sharing amazing video. Let's stay connected.
