Great video :) just wondering how this compares to the Paparoa in terms of how rough the track is? Thanks ! 😊

@getoutside519 14 күн бұрын

@drTeddyJo hey there, I would say overall it maybe smoother than paparoa. The first climb has some bumps but there are some sections on dirt that are amazingly smooth. They would be similar in terms energy expenditure. If you managed the paparoa then the heaphy is absolutely achievable and enjoyable.

No expense spared in signage but the signage is pretty poor in delivery the message. I took a wrong turn and went down the Pike29 memorial trail carpark which left me having to call out the police to get a lift back to Punakaiki.

Luckily this is in my back yard. How far was the ride. Just stunning and you couldn't of had a nicer day. I have an ebike so just wondering what distance it is.

The ol Louis looks alot different now that the pine trees have been harvested. New gold diggings every 100m or so.

Oh the pines have gone ? That would look different. Luckily the beech trees would be untouched I guess on the upper part. Thanks fir the info.

Thanks for this great video - it inspired me to visit Queenstown, and I did this trail last week. Awesome scenery, so glad that I did it, it's a great back-country trail. Highs - well, the scenery, the flow the sense of achievement for finishing a great ride. The lows - well, there's essentially no shade for 95% of it, and those climbs are long in full sun. Take some chain lube, all those water crossings and dusty climbs had my chain dry and crunchy by the time I got to Arrowtown. Oh, and Macetown road is a pretty disappointing trail to end to such an epic ride

Top job , we'll done. Yes i can only imagine how hot and dry it is at this time of year. I may well have edited out some moaning about macetown rd.

I did the trail back in the early 90s. It was a tough climb out of the car park, a partial ride along the trail's contour and then onto Spooner Lake and then another climb before the full on descent. In those days, there were parts of the trail that had various home made repairs where it had fallen away and it was quite tricky to navigate. I remember at one point someone had put an old iron bedframe to cross a gap. It was also the days before disc brakes and so the deep sandy descent from Spooner Lake always required constant braking. When you got to the bottom, you had to prise your fingers off the brakes handles!

This is such a great video of a stunning ride. Thanks for sharing! I was doing some research into the track and your footage and commentary have helped a lot. I don't think I'm skilled enough for the Grade 4 section (which I believe starts at around the 5 min mark in your video), so I was planning on doing the Skippers Pack Track or Skippers Road detour. As far as I can tell, that should rejoin the loop trail somewhere near Greengates Hut (12 min). I was wondering if you could confirm whether this is true, and whether there is any signage for the detour? Thanks so much.

Hi there, would it be okay to use this footage for a new safety video MSC is producing for the Paparoa Track? We filmed in autumn and winter prior to any snowfall but want to show people what it can be like in winter! This looks epic!

Is the 'trail' fairly well marked through the bush just before the Borland road end?

Nice video! I have to admit when Americans and particularly Californians build a scenic highway i.e. RT. 1 and here around Lake Tahoe we do it right and well- beauty, scenic views and the thrill of Danger altogether!!

great video, explanation, thanks for sharing. you think adding 10mm to 130mm would be even better?? or may cause problem. i have a scalpel 2013 with 100 mm also , want to upgrade its fork. from 100 to 120 is just adding 0.78 inch, to 130 mm is 1.2 inches. 2023 scalpel has 120 mm lefty, but also has 30 mm handlebar rise. driving position in cockpit is about the same 120mm fork plus 30mm rise vs 130mm fork

Hey Laura distance wise not very long probably 35km or so but I was out side enjoying it four 4 5 hrs. Are you planning a visit ? It's an amazing location.
