    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

    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.

    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.

    • @SwampChook

    What Inreach do you have there, and whats your thoughts on it?

      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.
