Awesome journey Sam. Loving this adventure. The area is so picturesque with the snow. Done Queenstown many moons ago. Looking forward to the next installment
Just wondering how long does it take to travel from Lake Mavora up to Walter Peak Station and would one need to be an experienced 4wd driver to do this trip ? Cheers
I can't really say. It always takes me much longer as I am always stopping to mess with cameras, or to find geocaches. The road up to Walter Peak is more scenic than difficult, and well worth the journey. The side trip along the lakes is a bit more extreme, but you can see plenty without doing this bit.
Mines the Garmin 66i Not necessarily the most user friendly. Bit I love it. I've been using Garmin's for years Geocaching, so use it for that too a fair bit. The sat features are so handy. For checking in when Solo, or can arrange assistance for minor things rather than it turning into an emergency.
Queenstown's such a sick area aye! it's always a good day when one of your vids drop mate cheers!!!
Well done, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Sam, what a great time to be there. Excellent filming.
Thankyou! Glad you enjoyed it.

Hey mate, may I ask what gps system do you have attached to your windscreen. Cheers bud 👍
It's a Garmin 66i, I've got it running topo maps, but it also has a built in satellite messenger which I like for safety reasons.
hi SAM, when L300 come back?, we want L300 on the track. we love L300 ever.
Very soon, starting a rebuild and fit out of the Diesel one in a few months.

Where did the track start to go into Water peak station? Did you drive all the the way their from South Mavora?
Yeah it comes off Mavora Lakes road. It starts as Mt Nicholas road
What Inreach do you have there, and whats your thoughts on it?
