- Follow us as we enter the other side of the Kaimanawa forest , taking in great scenery Driving the Quarry Rd Track and visiting the infamous Kaimanawa Wall !!!
From massive downed trees to winding dirt roads with camping spots galore
We tackle the hill climb up to the quarry and back again
This is one beautiful part of NewZealand showcasing some of the best protected forest in the north island - Авто та транспорт
The track is way steeper than it looks. Thanks for sharing
You can never capture just how steep things are on Video
Good little side track though
Thanks for making yourself available at the end of my Kaweka Traverse (UA-cam - Spread too thin) pickup and shoutout. Pity I was captured by the Kaimanawa Wall aliens an extra day and didn't get to meet you but I'm so looking forward to our road trip to Upper Hutt in a few weeks, it will be fun so catch you soon!
Great video mate! Keep up the good work
Thanks much appreciated
That vehicle can get pretty flexy! Impressive!
A few mates tipped a quad bike driving up didn’t put enough weight on the front
It really is steeper than it looks on camera
I must check this out on my bike:)
Loved the video :)
Has to be aliens! ha! very cool!
Beautiful track!
Thanks Mat
Time you did some more videos
@@JL2OFFRD Yes Sir, that is right! :)
Great video. What front and rear bars are you running?
Thanks
The front bar is MCC low loop winch bar and rear is a TJM
The rear bar replaces the entire tow bar and number and gives you 50mm higher tow hitch
I’d lover there front bar to but is approx $3500
Yes there are a few cats in there.
Appears to be natural but should be excavated to put any doubt to rest. The jointing does not follow good practice construction methods for a start. Any excavation should go well beyond the immediate area of the “wall”.
Great video was up quarry rd 13/5 can't get a vehicle to the top as a big tree across rd just before the top and no where to turn around (a long way to back down) cheers for the footage
Yup confirm track blocked as at 18/6/23. I did a tight 6 point turn as I wasn't gonna back down that
Track still blocked as at 21/10/23, also did tight turn and headed down@@its_eme01
Has it been cleared yet? Any updates?

I have been to the wall a couple of times. Where is the start of this track you are on
It’s before the wall on the left
There is a small clearing and the track disappears around the corner
Your maps will show it as the quarry at the top
@@JL2OFFRD Thank you very much for the info
How do you find your wheels ? Get low enough pressures with large rims ? OK on sand ?
Yes no problem so far rims are 20” with a little less air the sidewalks still flex enough
Often run them at 16 psi
Hey mate . Where does the quarry 4x4 track start?
About a third of the way along Clements mill road in the left there is a clearing where the track starts
If you get to Te Iringi camp site you have gone about 500m to far
The track is on the left of the clearing you can’t really miss it
Can any vehicle get thru these roads? Are the roads tassel or gravel as I don't have a 4WD I just have a standard car. Any help would be appreciated
Yes any car Can access the main dirt road
The Kaimanawa wall is literally on the side of the road so easy to get to as are all the camp sites that are just located of the side of the road
The quarry track is definitely 4wd only
Aww thankyou for your help also, from Taupo city is the kaimanawa far from their? I will have 3 children with me traveling and want to be Allgood going their. Want to get their before winter comes in
@@user-zb3wi9cm2s no not to far maybe 40 mins to the road itself
@JL2OFFRD thankyou so much for your info
