  • An amazing 2 days going bush in the beautiful Kaimai Mamaku Range, camping out in my bivvy bag and experiencing New Zealand nature at it's wild best.
    From carrying a 30+ kilogram backpack 953 mts to the summit of Mount Te Aroha, to exploring the old Piako County Tramway relics from the gold mining era of days gone by.
    From crystal clear fresh water springs and streams and waterfalls to the tramping tracks a billy goat would have trouble traversing!
    Come along with me and share the stunning scenery and dive into a little bit of our Indigenous culture and pioneering past.
    This is the first of my extended adventures...so hang on- here we go!
    Thanks for watching...
    Rick

    Good video and brought back a few old memories. I used to work for the NZ Forest Service in the 80's we cut and maintained many of the tracks in the Kaimai Ranges including the Te Aroha one. You should carry on south there's a load more tracks and huts to explore. Why not do a north to south tramp, that'll take a week or two.

      Thanks. Glad you liked it. Had a couple of technical glitches making this one but it didn't come out too bad. That's really interesting that you worked for Forest Service and made/maintained these tracks. When I hike these places I always think about the sheer physical slog you and your mates would have gone through making these tracks. But better than an office ay😂
