Thoroughly enjoying your video as with all your videos. I enjoy them while I am riding my exercycle! I live in New Zealand and just one minor point: early in the journey a main road is captioned as State Highway 7; it is in fact State Highway 73. State Highway 7 runs further north across the Lewis Pass. We've travelled on the train twice, once in winter and once in summer. The winter journey gets up to the snow.

I went to the North Island back in the late 80s, loved it, I've never been to the South Island, and I think I'm too old to gravel now, So I'm quite content to watch on my P C, Thanks Tim!
Many have told me that the South Island is prettier than the North Island, I can see why!

Because the mountains on New Zealand's South Island are rightly called the Southern Alps, there is a copy of the most famous mountain in the Alps, the Matterhorn, too. It can be found on another video by Tim where he is exploring the west coast. - Heinz

Tim, thanks for the opportunity to view those vistas and refresh my appreciation of the efforts of previous generations, who invested in the cutting edge technology of their day. It was awe inspiring and humbling in equal measure. Peter

whoa, at 34: 47 at the Waimakariri River I thought I might see Aragorn and Legolas run by while hunting orcs. Did you ride thru any Lord of the Rings country on that route?
