CAN WE MAKE IT? Kaimanawa to Cascade Hut Trip

Finally I got around to editing this trip to the Cascade Hut in the Kaimanawa Forest.
After 'investigating' the mysterious Kaimanawa Wall, JJ and I headed off into the ancient, damp and dark Kaimanawa forest.
Will we make it ALL the way? Or will one of us geriatrics blow a 'fufu valve' ?
Check out this latest chapter in my adventures to find out :)

    Still 1 of the best hikes/hunts I've done. 8 hrs to the hut and felt every bit of it on arrival, that ridge gets ya. Well done guys its a massively rewarding walk. I'm watchn your vid because I'm planning another trip back in, if we ever get out of lockdown.

    Thanks for the comment. I feel your pain. I can't wait to get outta lockdown. I feel like a caged Tiger. I have new tyres on my Africa Twin, and can't ride it. Lets hope we all get back to what we love soon :)

    You’re welcome for the fun gear Cam! I love watching your videos but it makes me so homesick for NZ. I hope we can go tramping in NZ someday soon, dear one.
