Hey man, good viewing!. So the property in upper takaka is owned by my family, i grew up there and am currently back there. They own the whole top end of the valley from the upper takakka village. The new access to barrons flat (old takaka ttack) is further around tarseal and over a wee bridge then left and up dairy farm lane to that deer gate you ended up at haha no one uses that old one anymore. And also we also own the farm at the end of the road from tirimawiwi river right through to big river! Spend my whole life out there, so fuckin lucky! The big river generally gets crossed up river a bit in the mud where the old tractor is but as of last couple years its chewed both sides out. trucks would be near impossible now but quads okay unless you can cross at mouth which is not that often although if keen with a group like yours it could probably be done when conditions are good. Cheers man keep it up.

@@joshbryson-x3z here’s for the info. We looked at the crossing where the old tractor was but the was no bank on the south side of the river to get back down to the beach. Crossing at the mouth would be the only option these days until the river changes corse. We would have needed a lower tide and a lot less river flow to get the job done.

@jeremymadeley yeah man that's right, there is actually a track on south side through the rocks , I think the short wheel base jacked up trucks would do it as I seen a can am maverick navigate it few months back but yeah she's pretty tough going atm. Good to see ya down there doing it tho, hope to see Yaz there some time 👍

How good

[@lesmondk3376]

Is there a certain time of the year that it’s easier to get to the lighthouse

[@jeremymadeley]

@@lesmondk3376 summer. Better weather windows. Neap/spring tides.

[@217bells]

Been there done that. Last time in there couldn't get across at Big river. There was a swell keeping the inlet from emptying.
