  • Just down the road from Queenstown, NZ. Sits a little valley with a little hut. This weekend we 4WD up the river, beyond the hut, to find a perfect camp spot for a solo night away from the city. Cook on an open fire, enjoy a couple beers, what more could you ask for from a quiet, solo overlanding mission.

    Nice video man. Love the overnight camping / cooking on the fire. You're right about the sandflies, they're the one thing that can ruin a trip. The scenery is outstanding.

      You got that right! They definitely drove me away in the end haha but I'll be back. Seems to be doing well! So I might have to do more of this style.

    Cool vid man! Yea the rubbish left is always a downer when arriving at campsites. We do the same thing taking everyone elses rubbish out so that was cool to see!

      Couldn't agree more. It doesn't take much to take it out, so I'm completely unsure why the people before us couldn't do it

    I didn’t know this track was open did you need to contact any landowners? I was gonna go the other week but opted for old man range

    • @4X4MonthlyNZ
      @4X4MonthlyNZ  2 месяца назад +1

      Old man range is definitely a more spectacular track than this one. I find the views from Old Man unlike anything else in NZ. This was definitely a nice quiet little, lower valley weekend but no land owners are needed to be contacted yet.

    Are you planning on getting a rear bar on the truck?

    • @4X4MonthlyNZ
      @4X4MonthlyNZ  2 месяца назад

      Indeed! Smashed up the stock one in the hopkins, couldn't open the boot without the persuasive measures of a hammer. So it is in the plan, to get a swing out wheel carrier on there too and move the spare tyre out from underneath it. Being a 3rd Gen Surf, no one makes a reasonably priced bar so there is a little thinking and making involved and i'm no welder haha

      @4X4MonthlyNZ  2 месяца назад

      Well there's plenty around but not many I've had a chance to drive through. Central South Island is my local and they definitely seem to be at either end of the south.
