The flight alone would be bucket list material

Lovely trip, hope you do it again this year as I'm keen to join.

If any one gets their vehicle stolen or house robbed, Tony Gibson is to blame. His 50+ year involvement in an international terrorist organisation is catching up with him

Would be so cool to be a heli pilot on the coast. Where is that heli based? Did it fly op from Haast or down from Fox? As far as I know there aren't any based around the Copland.

Crystal morning.

Fantastic video. I was there in March 2019 but got sick so didn’t get to Cascade Saddle. Heading in at the end of Feb and can’t wait.

I walked the St. James Walkway about 40 years ago & Cannibal Hut was just started to be built. Your video was very interesting. But 11 days - you must have had heavy packs! Thank you for the great video. (I was a member of the Auck. CTC for many years).

Liked this one too. Being on the summit up there always puts little old Nelson into perspective. Surprised you needed crampons on Mt Arthur though, wouldn't have thought it was steep enough. Guess I haven't been up there in quite a few years though.

Great video, tramping at its finest👍. I liked and subbed. I did Mt Owen once but just the regular route from Courthouse flat. Nice country up there.

Nice video Brian, liked the commentary. We did a similar route back in April, but the opposite way. Climbed up via Sunrise Peak (should be called Speargrass Peak), camped at Poverty Basin. Summited Mount Owen then spent the night at Fyfe River Hut. Good effort on the path finding, we got bluffed out several times on the way to Poverty Basin and finding the summit. Fyfe river track was a bit of a chore, very overgrown and slippery!

Looks a really good route - and sufficiently adventurous to make it interesting! You did a lot of 'off track' work and did well given the poor visibility at times. No whio but ongaonga instead! It's an area I'd really like to explore when I return to NZ in January.

I cant find a good map of the routburn trail or near by trails online, im hoping to hike it in march 2025

Great Adventure!

Wow, what a great trip, and a great video showing it!

Great vid, great track!

Another great video!

Where are your gaiters, its part of our national dress code?

Incredible landscapes! Your video really captures the beauty of these scenes. Thanks for sharing such amazing content! 👍18

Just amazing views and the colours of the lakes…. ❤

Thank you for this great video ,It brings back some great memories

Hi thanks for the great video. These bring back great memories .

Good video guys. Brought back some memories of my tramp back in 1976 although some of the huts have changed. It is not as well known as the Heaphy but a great trip nonetheless

Wonderful scenery, despite the rain. Great video.

Is the track to the Valley of the Trolls easy to spot after Harris Saddle and easy to get down to the lake for a swim?

Epic trip and great video, thanks Pete. Seems ponchos ruled and being able to call helicpoter was a great option.

Nicely curated, gosh how many times do you hear about those ponchos being more effective than raincoats!

Nice information and hike. Thank you for sharing. Not the best weather, but nice to see how the weather can be and not always the nice shiny weather 🙂Have a great day Like #47

Good to see the Wangapeka again. One of my favourite areas that I tramped and hunted while training at the nearby woody school in Golden Downs State Forest. In June 76 a group of us were tasked with cutting the track from Stag Flat back out to the Wangapeka Road. It rained every day for three weeks. We based ourselves at the original Trevor Carter hut which was in a good clearing on the true left near the Taipo/Karamea confluence. Our work trip was lead by Peter Bell who was the farmer/ranger at the end of the road. Cecil was in his camp on the way out. I see they have put the new one where the old Lunar Hut was. The hut facilities sure look a lot better than what we had. But the track west of Helicopter has become a bit of a mess. I went as far as Brough's tabernacle site in June 2016 for a tiki tour.

That was an epic four day hike.

Well done Pete and ATC team! It was reminiscing for us. I don't want to do the western side of the Wangapeka track again ever. It was overgrown and difficult enough 5 years ago. It's good to know that the Belltown hut has been replaced though. It sure needed to be. It's track maintenance that's required in there now 😏

great up load mate!

Wow! Thanks for sharing. That one's on my bucket list but definitely in a better forecast. Good call on the chopper. 👍

Thanks for the video, have been wondering about the track condition! Nice that the huts had firewood for you. Curious how you were able to call the chopper? A satellite phone? Will check out your other videos

Well done to the ATC crew and another great video & trip blog Pete, what an epic journey across the Wangapeka wilderness.

Thanks Peter. Great video, stunning views and sounds like a great tramp.

Great walk in the right weather, stunning views all round. Well worth the effort, keeping fit, on those legs, a must............

Took that trip in 96, but in 2 days (youth - more about speed than enjoying... :) ) - through Tarn Col. I currently plan to go back in December to try to find the parts of my soul, that never followed me home... Lovely video - thx!

Superb video Pete! Just like being there ...

Amazing video. Thank you for sharing. 👍8

Some amazing scenery back there, have added to the list!

What a great trip, weather behaved, with a few excerps from the sandfly ensemble! Well negotited with some gorgeous camps. I knew Jack Skinner that found the Bivouac, Paul Powel, in the mix. See you next time.............Robin Smith

Wow cool trip. I used to live in Makarora and Albert Burn was always on my bucket list. So cool to see this. Such great countryside.

What a scenery! This is really a great video 🙂👍

Wow! Incredible footage, great narration and tidy edit. Thanks for bringing us along for the journey. What an amazing achievement.

Greetings from Canada. Very surprised that Canadian Geese fly to NZ. Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing. Subd & 👍16

Nice video, big country big tramp, I used to live in South Auckland years ago and be part of the South Auckland Tramping club down here now living the dream near Rangiora which has a tramping club. Don't tramp now due to My knees but really nice to see your adventures online, Thankyou.

Incredible ! That expédition ! Bravo....
