    Fairlie to Auckland - Trip Report

    I spent a couple of weeks in March riding on the dirt roads in New Zealand on my TE610. I was traveling solo with a tent and camping gear, taking it easy, basking in the amazing scenery.

    A full trip report, with about 150 photos, maps and blog is at: www.advtrail.com.


    Here's a video:

    Very impressive! Glad you enjoyed it (I'm just going to assume you did). Great video, not many Adv vids I can watch start to finish.

    Will be checking out your full report too looks just as impressive.

    Awesome. Word of advice though, putting a tent up under big old man pines like that is asking for trouble, they have a habit of breaking off and sending down widow makers.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Thats good advice, next time I'll make sure to check upwards. I was seduced by the comfy pine needles underneath.

    Appreciate the thumbs up, oneblackflag.

    And thanks Stephen and Chris, it was a pleasure riding with you. New Zealand is very special.
