I'm so pleased I came across your channel - I'm binge watching your videos and loving them. Gosh, that wind at Ward Beach was next level! Love that the kids decorated a rock each, such a cool idea for campers to leave a little treasure behind.

Oh hey, yes welcome, glad your enjoying the videos. Yea I don't think we've had wind like it since being in the south island, it was very windy there. So Glad we could paint some rocks, that was thanks to our friend Garth who brought the stuff we needed for that.

The exploration and fun continues ! Well done.........

Yea it's been nice to be in mostly sunshine... the North island where we normally live has been hammered by storm after storm currently a hurricane 🌀 making its way to New Zealand to yet again drop loads of rain.

Like Wellington, you can't beat Ward Beach on a good day😆Garths dogs are cool and the man bakes, yum!

Ward beach is pretty awesome to explore, can go either direction, prob some good fishing from the rocks if it's calm. That wind though... Yikes.

Loved the rounds rocks at the beach you stayed at!

Oh thanks team. The kids really made me laugh up that hill in the wind, it was wild, and a little intense... kaikoura should be an amazing video, still working on it though

the wild life is incredible aye... Our next video on Friday NZ time has some incredible shots of the wildlife. Can't wait to show it. Been a great trip down south so far... Although Summer seems to be slipping away every so slowly... Bring on some more nice long summer days.

Nice one, didn't get the best of weather for Ward beach, but it is a great rugged beauty bit of coastline regardless. One of our go to overnight trips out of Blenheim. I think it's also the only place we've baked scones in the caravan too. Still plenty of Marlborough to see on the way back north, and we look forward to following the action and adding to our list of places to stay further south. Glad we got the opportunity to spend a couple of weekends camping with you guys.

Love Ward Beach, but that wind...!!!

Yea mate the wind was wild I don't think the kids have been in wind like that before they loved it.

Just found your channel and enjoying your adventures. I do think you need to increase your battery storage (amp hours). Keep up the great work.

Hey glad you found us. Yea we don't quite have the battery set up required for the winter. Seems we have figured a few things out about it all now which is helping. Definitely not upgrading battery system any time soon though.

That area looks so like Hawkes Bay. Great sunsets. Hope you're still getting good weather. Finally getting a few nice days, but getting ready for Cyclone Gabrielle now.
