Great capture of all the beautiful views. I was surprised to see Canadian Geese in New Zealand and was wondering if they actually migrate to the Northern Hemisphere..I hope that you get a chance to spot the illusive Kiwi bird!

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thanks! I was surprised to see them as well! Seems like a very long flight.

Aw thank you so much! ☺️ I really love it out there on the trail, I’m glad it shows!

[@user-benjamin0958]

Maybe the Canadian geese were there to say hi to a fellow Canadian lol I seems to have heard them say Cheers as they flew off. ..... loved the video

[@LaurenRoerick]

That must be it! Just helping me feel at home :)

[@StephenScottHand-yy7ts]

[@LaurenRoerick]

This was such a beautiful section!!

[@paulinemcalpine7503]

The shots taken of you both climbing to the pass are excellent, it looks like a rock scramble for an experienced rock climber.

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thank you! I really enjoy the technical scrambles now. Keeps me on my toes haha!

[@tanioraaura1274]

You're awesome. Thank you. You're a happy place to visit. I get to see places. I've never seen in NZ ever before

[@LaurenRoerick]

Glad you enjoyed it! NZ is so beautiful

Lovely content and quality. Hoping to do this area next summer (definitely not during the winter!). What camera are you using? I don't know when you have the time to edit your content but you do a great job. I can imagine you must have carried a hefty powerbank on the long stretches of the TA to keep your camera charged?

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thank you! I filmed and edited all of these videos on my iPhone 12!

[@gotrailmark]

Killing it 🔥

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thanks! I loved this section!!

[@StepsbyKaatje]

Congratulations on reaching 1000km! You're probably close to 2000 now. 😊 Is it an option to take of your shoes and cross on campshoes to keep feet dry? Or does everyone hike with wet feet? I wouldn't like the idea of cold and wet feet at the beginning of the day. Beautiful stretch it is for sure! 😊

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thanks! You’d end up taking your shoes off at least a dozen times a day and it’s just not worth it. You get used to having wet feet eventually!

[@StepsbyKaatje]

@@LaurenRoerick I'll keep that on mind! 😉

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Lord of the Sand Flies!

[@LaurenRoerick]

For real!! The bites are soooo itchy!!

[@paulinemcalpine7503]
