The Southern Crossing - Tararuas (backcountry tramp north of Wellington New Zealand)

[@dmays67]

A beautifully shot and well produced piece. Great that you include crucial information and links as well as nice little doodles to make the trip more 'personal' and fun. Brought back many fond memories from years back. Been over this route in some great and not so great weather. All the best in your travels and thanks for sharing! =)

Thanks Darrell. Glad you enjoyed it. Just back from Nelson Lakes (new video up) and the weather was a mixed bag, but it made it more special somehow - think you'd understand. Happy & safe hiking and travels.

I subscribed to your channel. Like the place where you travel, I am not afraid of grasshoppers. Today I painted in watercolor in a cafe. Work hard as you do.

Thanks Charley, keep up the good work - I am enjoying your paintings very much,😀

[@CharleyWang]

@@princesswearshikingboots4479 I am looking forward to your comments. This episode, because the state of attention is really feeling the scene, there are a lot of words to tell me, I have to listen. So, I didn't draw, I am very sorry.

[@princesswearshikingboots4479]

Hi Charley, I loved your Cafe painting - very Parisian, Ciao.

[@CharleyWang]

@@princesswearshikingboots4479 Thank you for your encouragement! Need me to do something for you?

[@princesswearshikingboots4479]

Hi Charley. Thanks. Encouraging one another is good, Ciao.

Really enjoyed this video. Incredible scenery! Some of the areas look like the southern Appalachians in the USA. Wow, you've backpacked all over the world.

[@princesswearshikingboots4479]

Thanks Bryan. I am constantly amazed by the similarities of scenery around the world. Means we can be content with what's on offer on our own doorsteps:) New Zealand's Volcanic Plateau is fabulous - you might enjoy our Mt Ruapehu Summit Climb - it was other-worldy at the top - not what we expected (a stellar day out).

Excei have sent the link to Mike llent video, fantastic photography. BTW, I was one of the 'experienced local trampers' you mentioned, we met up at Alpha Hut.

[@princesswearshikingboots4479]
