Exploring New Zealand's Milford Sound - motorbike solo camping adventure Episode 6

I ride the west coast of New Zealand and explore the Fiordland National Park with it mind-blowing scenery around Milford Sound, then head to a stunning lake and its muddy trails to camp on its shore line.

[@pippacarron1861]

I love the way you drop the videos on Fridays: it gives me a great way to unwind at the end of the week. And another epic episode! Those end shots are sublime. Thanks for taking us along.

[@freewayproject]

I am glad to hear I upload at the right time Pippa. I also hope it helps people who were thinking about getting out there pull the trigger and go out for an adventure weather by motorbike, bicycle, foot or even car, there is so much to be explored.

Joe! Your New Zealand Adventure just keeps getting better and better. I'm totally amazed what you've captured. I'm sorry to say, as an adventure motorcycle rider, I laughed at that puddle you rode through, and it just got deeper and deeper. Great you shared that with the viewers. We constantly learn how to keep dry. Well done again Joe!! 👏😁

[@freewayproject]

Thanks mate, New Zealand just keeps delivering. I wasn't going to put it in but it happened, total brain fade that one, but it's all part of it.

[@GordonHansard-xk4sw]

Thanks for coming to newzealand Jo. With your photos and videos 📹 you show just how good our country is. Keep upright and safe and your feet dry 😅 until next week.

[@freewayproject]

The place is truly stunning everywhere I go. yes I'll try to do a better job of keeping my feet dry haha.

[@ScruffyNomad]

A testament to your coolness is posting a scene where you dropped the bike due to a momentary lack of focus. Most anyone else would let their ego and pride get in the way and delete it. Two thumbs up, mate.

[@freewayproject]

I nearly didn't add it as I thought who would want to see someone drop a bike, but then I thought if people are new to doing this or want to do start riding, it might be a reminder to always be altered and stop before you get to tired. Thanks for the continued support and I hope you are enjoying the series.

[@aaronlampe340]

Joe I can only imagine what you saw with your own eyes rather than the GoPro... The Road into Milford Sound looks sooooo Incredible! WOW

[@freewayproject]

Yes it is hard to describe a capture, it is an amazing place. I hope you enjoyed it. I don't use a GoPro as the image on them is even worse, this was shot with a DJI Osmo Action.

[@anosan17]

When you live for a long time far from mountains, valleys like in the video feels unreal! Can't believe, that places like this really exist in the world.

Hey Joe (hehe_ ) I´m from Brazil and I´ve ridden on the same roads back in 2009 when I was just a teenager studying english in NZ. Now I´m a motorcycle adventure lover and your videos have been giving me a lot of feelings like nostalgia and that impulse to grab my bike and travel, all at the same time. I remember the astonishment of a teenager seeing these surreal sights, the excitement of doing it with friends, the joy, all of that. So thank you.This video put tears of joy in my eyes. Amazing work!!

Hello Joe, wow what an incredible ride here in this episode, the one day u be proactive and put on a rain suit and no rain, you know the old saying in this country is, there are bikers who never dropped their bikes and their bikers that will drop their bikes, I’m no exception. Anyway look forward to your next video, seems you have the same problem in that part of the world as we do here, over crowding, guess the best thing about two wheels versus 4, nowadays here it’s about reservations, one of the tallest motor roads is mount Evans, just a simple ride to the top, reservations, you want to take a crap, reservations, I guess we try hard to get to these roads less traveled, anyway love this country u r traveling through, stay safe, see u on the next one buddy. Hang in there. Rob U.S.

It’s a Tom Cruise sci-fi film so may not be your cup of tea, but a lot of the scenic footage was shot in Iceland, and like New Zealand, the landscapes are just epic, but in a very different way. Since the launch of the Himalayan 452 I’ve noticed quite a few of the 411 version coming up for sale, some at good prices, and I was wondering about what differences you’ve noticed between your one and the Scram?, especially with respect to the windscreen whilst wearing a helmet with a peak visor? Do you find you get more or less turbulence with or without a windshield? Cheers Joe!

I have seen Milford Sound from cruise ship on a misty rainy day, still awesome. If I ever go again, it would be doing it on a push bike.

[@freewayproject]

I past a few people riding in there, there are so many places to explore just on the ride in, definitely worth the effort.

Thanks mate.

[@tazyt3388]

such a stunning place mate n your just cruising along soaking it all in think i need to slow down a bit and do the same hope ya well bro cheers

[@freewayproject]

Yes it is an incredible region. When I am traveling it is definitely at a slower pace, rushing just means it over faster, and if I want to go fast I have a dirt bike for that.

Amazing vids Joe

[@freewayproject]

Thanks mate, I hope you are enjoying the new series.

[@sanatandharma4435]

Always a pleasure to watch your travels Joe, thank you! Have you considered some seal skinz waterproof socks and carrying a length of washing line to hang anything wet from between trees?

[@freewayproject]

Thanks mate, great to hear you are enjoying the series. Right now I have to use what I have, then I'll try work out some solutions from all the great information like yours ( seal skinz waterproof socks ) and others, then hopefully save enough to get it before the next journey. I actually do have cord with me, but haven't used it yet.

[@freewayproject]

Thanks mate, hope you are enjoying the series. I have been fortunate to ride the dirt trails in BC Canada, I'd really like to explore the whole country on a motorbike in the future, It would be a real adventure.

[@houcinezarwal6797]

howay man, for the fall it wasn't necessary man haha

[@freewayproject]

Yer a bit of a brain fade there haha. I wasn't going to put it in but it's all part of the journey.

[@postiebikesaustralia3217]

Looks great! I'm surprised you didn't have a fire at camp if so cold? Fire restrictions or lack of fuel maybe.

[@freewayproject]

Thanks mate, great to hear you enjoyed it, it is an amazing region to explore. did't look for some fire wood but nothing in that area and there was a fire ban in a lot of the south island, not being 100% sure if I was still in the restricted area.
