Thanks Jack 👊🏻👍🏻 Great to see you doing better my friend 🙏🏻God Bless
Appreciate you!

[@QuadzillaHikes]

Thank you! 😊

The Deception/Goats Pass route is part of NZ iconic annual Coast to Coast race. From Kumara on the West Coast to Christchurch city in the East, a mix of running, biking, kayaking. Look it up on YT, this is why NZ has such a high % of elite endurance racers for such a small population country. Also worth checking out videos of Godzone NZ, non- stop 5 days adventure racing thru terrain much harder than this.

Good to know thanks I'll check those out! Is that part of the Alps to Ocean race, I saw lots of signs for that.

[@Woodthrush]

Glad your eye is better! Loved the ducks and birds. Happy Trails! 🌈

[@QuadzillaHikes]

Happy trails!

[@musingwithreba9667]

Lots of waterfalls on this section. It's crazy that the "trail" is actually the river!

[@QuadzillaHikes]

Right 🤣

[@milmaxxx]

There always someone on the trail with tales of doom up ahead 😂

[@QuadzillaHikes]

Haha.

[@DovieRuthAuthor]

Glad your eye is better, Jack.

[@QuadzillaHikes]

Me too!

[@heathere8066]

What snacks do you find best for calories in NZ? I don't think I ate enough 😂Enjoying your videos and reliving some of the trail😊🎉 Goat Pass was a favourite of mine

[@ChoedanKal]

loving the south to north perspective.

[@ihikeporkies]

Thanks for sharing. Glad your infection is clearing.

[@QuadzillaHikes]

Thanks for watching

[@nightrock4713]

Almost 2,5km/h sounds fast to me 😂 I’ve had several sections on TA at 1km/h or less because of how steep it is, or just how bad the « « « trail » » » is 😅

[@QuadzillaHikes]

🤣 richmonds were pretty dang slow!

[@Juanmao-q3s]

Congratulations!! You are doing great, and thank you so much for the outstanding videos that represent an extra effort on top of the climbing, river crossing.....keep safe and enjoying!

[@QuadzillaHikes]

Thanks for watching!

[@AMCD18]

Absolutely gorgeous section! River crossing, my biggest fear. Thank goodness your eye is better. 🙏🏻

[@QuadzillaHikes]

Thank you 😊

[@zekejones2249]

When are you coming to Aus to do the Bibbulmun Track, Jack?

[@QuadzillaHikes]

Haven't heard of that one! But on the list now

[@jackcakeblack]

Certainly, no shortage of water where you are .I googled average rainfall in New Zealand between 23- 63 inches a year, with some parts of the west coast can get up to 300 inches per year. Wow that is a lot of rain!☔

[@QuadzillaHikes]

The west coast gets crazy amounts of rain!

[@gregharmon3797]

That’s crazy they put the trail right on the river

[@QuadzillaHikes]

Right, especially with how much rain nz gets

[@stonefit]

Honestly, why is this trail so popular?!?! You seem to walk down a river most the time

[@QuadzillaHikes]

It's quite gorgeous

[@grahames9228]

I love it, 'why build a trail when you can walk in the river'.

[@QuadzillaHikes]

🤣

[@gregharmon3797]

Great that your eye is better

[@QuadzillaHikes]

It's all good now

[@UntakenTrails]

Wet feet once again. The river is a great place for a trail.🤣 Great news that your eye is clearing up so you can enjoy the trail without that distraction and concern.

[@QuadzillaHikes]

🤣 why huild a trail when there's a perfectly good river
