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.
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!
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
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!☔
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.
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 😅
Glad your eye is better! Loved the ducks and birds. Happy Trails! 🌈
Happy trails!
Thanks Jack 👊🏻👍🏻 Great to see you doing better my friend 🙏🏻God Bless
Appreciate you!
Thank you! 😊
Glad your eye is better, Jack.
Me too!
Absolutely gorgeous section! River crossing, my biggest fear. Thank goodness your eye is better. 🙏🏻
Thank you 😊
Lots of waterfalls on this section. It's crazy that the "trail" is actually the river!
Right 🤣

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.
Thanks for sharing. Glad your infection is clearing.
Thanks for watching
There always someone on the trail with tales of doom up ahead 😂
Haha.

The west coast gets crazy amounts of rain!
That’s crazy they put the trail right on the river
Right, especially with how much rain nz gets
When are you coming to Aus to do the Bibbulmun Track, Jack?
Haven't heard of that one! But on the list now

🤣 why huild a trail when there's a perfectly good river
I love it, 'why build a trail when you can walk in the river'.
🤣

🤣 richmonds were pretty dang slow!
Honestly, why is this trail so popular?!?! You seem to walk down a river most the time
It's quite gorgeous
