Nice video Paul! Where was that cabin near Hawera? Not much accom in that area!

@@kevincrowley9873 that was at Hawera Holiday park. Yes. Not much accommodation in Hawera, especially if you’re planning to camp, then you need to be further around the coast in either direction.

Could you make more videos about the Land Rover and camping with it. That's what bought me to your channel and why I subscribed. I have little interest in cycling videos.

@@steveknight4090 there will definitely be more landrover videos in the future, just depends on what opportunities arise as to where I go and what I film. Thanks.

Was this a one-off ride?

[@smiles_per_hr6408]

@@jonmarshall1502 it’s run about 4-5 times over the years (since circa 2013). I’m currently undecided if I will organise it again, though if I do it probably go back to its roots as a more challenging ride, purely because the Hawera to Whanganui leg is an anticlimax. Have some ideas for some other events in Whanganui area if I can find/make the time.
