4WD Tekapo Headwaters Snow Trip

[@Niju06]

This is amazing! Bucket list drive for me living up here in Auckland.

[@realneilsadventures]

I hope you get to do it.

Hi Neil love the scenery in this video with the snow up the valley. Enjoyed the ride along making your way towards and over Burkes Pass. The drone footage and just stunning and a great Birds Eye view of your crew on the trip. Loved it!!

[@realneilsadventures]

Thanks Julia

[@graememeade56]

Perfect day Neil, great scenery, well done.

[@realneilsadventures]

Thanks Graeme, you don't get that sort of 4WD run in Oz.

AWESOME!!!!! Just awesome. What a beautiful day. What amazing scenery. New subscriber here!!!!

[@realneilsadventures]

Thanks for subscribing, It was a great day out.

[@lukeduke3001]

im subscribed,, we did that track 10 years ago it’s a good drive to a n awesome place

[@realneilsadventures]

Yes it was a great track a few years ago, but now the river has moved more to the true left you can only go up there when the river is low.

[@rasdex6908]

I dont know if its the snow hiding the features (rocks) but that looked an easier drive than up to Mcauley

[@realneilsadventures]

Yes, the snow made it a lot easier drive. But also the fact that the river level was so low.

[@lesmondk3376]

Red stag hut is on our menu when we head down

[@realneilsadventures]

Thats good and don't forget the Macaulay that's a really good hut to stay the night in.

[@lesmondk3376]

@@realneilsadventures yeah we went to Macaulay last summer just ran out of time but we intend staying south a lot longer this coming summer

[@realneilsadventures]

Sounds good

[@kiwioutdoorsdad170]

I know its snow and boys were having fun but do we really need advertise that online in a video… when there big movement to get people to behave in the backcountry…. Places getting destroyed and if they watch someone else do it they think its okay type thing

[@kiwioutdoorsdad170]

Also prob be carefull using your drone in youtube videos and saying the locations…. DOC having crack down on unpermited drone use

[@realneilsadventures]

I am trying to encourage people to join clubs where there is training and controlled conditions, so I thought showing what just happened naturally on a snow covered river bed would show you can have fun in clubs.

[@realneilsadventures]

I will pass this information to the operator

[@waldemarb.3108]

It looked very different back in Oct 1993.

[@realneilsadventures]

Yes, the DOC track would have been pretty good back then.

[@gdog1443]

I see what I’ve done, I was watching another one of yours

[@realneilsadventures]

@@gdog1443 That's good, it helps the algorithms.

[@Alfonso_111]

Beautiful spot. Unfortunately there is a lot of damage occurring from idiots in 4wds. You guys seem to be responsible enough.

[@realneilsadventures]

Yes a beautiful spot made more special with the snow.

[@gdog1443]

I was watching the maculy hut one

[@gdog1443]

Have you edited this? I’m sure I watched this the other day and you went right to the hut and had a bbq and showed the inside of the hut

[@realneilsadventures]

No, it's not been edited. Red stag hut is at the 29-minute mark.

[@032254855]

do you think you could get to the true right of the valley since the river moved looks a lot more spread out than it used to be

[@realneilsadventures]

Yes, I know someone who went up that side last summer.
