Great video, one of my favourite places when younger for Sika hunting. That road yourtook used to be called Access 15 and leads (as you found) to the Waipakahi River which is essentially the source of the Tongarairo. That little stream and you crossed is the Waikato Stream and generally what used to be easy public access has been made difficult with private owners staking their claims to several tracts of land which have river boundaries. I used to drive my Landrover upstream quite a way in summer. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been watching quite a few of your videos and am now convinced if I’m gonna take my wrangler off road, it’s with you lot! Also I love the weirdness of your grand poobah hahaha
That second road that goes down to the river is the one that the Ardern government was going to give to private owners who were going to close it to the public .
Awesome video Jules really enjoyed it. That is some epic place for some really cool wheeling. I think I might have to check it out myself sometime in future. So looking forward to seeing your next video take care of your self
Well done Guys Gr8 presentation 👍

When was this I just got back from camping across the river at waipakihi road today
This was a couple of weeks ago on 4th Jan, our first time exploring this area.

Oh really! Didn't know that.
@@adventureswithjillgonegecko There is a 40 page thread headed " Kaimanawa Forest Park " on it on the NZ Hunting and Shooting forum .
