That was great. I'd have liked to watch that at the Cinema Paradiso, without doubt the coolest picture house I've ever visited. Preferably with a nice bottle of Monteith's.

That was really cool. My mates and were fortunate enough to borrow some demo Alpacka Rafts this weekend and did a simple ride up a local river and then paddled back down over this past weekend. These rafts are really well built, super comfortable an they handled very well, even with our fat bikes strapped on the front of the boat. Seriously considering picking one up next year to replace the entry level packraft I purchased last season.

"NZ’s under appreciated wilderness areas" - none of it's under appreciated, it's just takes longer to get to.

When there's wilderness on your doorstep not many people are too worried about going the extra distance.

I was luck enough to travel to New Zealand many years ago and hike along those river valleys. Just stunning scenery

Wouldn't catch me submerging my bike in the water ????

Isn't submerging your bike in water just your normal summer everyday ride in England. Besides fresh water is fine you just need to re-greaae bearings from time to time

deaneparkernz (Oct 2, 2017 at 2:15)

I found bearings no problem, even with the packraft flipping once they didn't get water in them, BUT...have u ever noticed the little holes in your seat stays and chain stays, I got about 100ml water in there, took a bit of a surgical operation to get it out. Note to self tape them up in future.
