- We set out to explore the Mole Tops on a two night mission. We took the Watson Creek track up and camped at a lovely spot on the bush line. The next day we carried on up to the ridge and did some exploring of the surrounding area. We camped the second night at a high tarn near pt 1770 on the topo. We took the Jameson Ridge track down back to the road and walked out back to the car. It was a spectacular trip that I would highly recommend to anyone that can make it up there. I hope you enjoy our video of the trip.

Beautiful spots but, boy you had to work for it! Thank you for filming your adventures and sharing them with the world, your filming and editing are so beautifully done that it makes it a pleasure to watch, and your zest for life and humor between the two of you jumps off the screen. I really enjoy your videos and ( always ) look forward to the next one.
Thank you for your comment really appreciate it. Lots of new vids coming

Thanks for sharing.
This trip was one of my favourite had it all
wow!!! I watch alot of your videos but this has to be one of the best! Its seems like you both are in another world! Just amazing and keep them videos coming along 😊
This maybe was my favourite camp. We just got back from a trip up there. Amazing spot
@@AbelandVictoria Love it! I see the world through you 2 (Abel and Vic)🥰
Spectacular!! Added it to my list!
Cheers it’s a great spot
Incredible scenery, loved the night shot of your tent.
Thanks mate
Wow just finished watching !!
What a beautiful video !!
Thanks I think it turned out pretty good
Great to see a vid of a place that has always intrigued me. Along similar lines the route from Patriarch along the Arthur Range is a great tops trip. I recommend dropping into the North Crow.
Mole tops is great. Only been once. Hopefully get back there this winter. Yeah the ridge section along from patriarch is spectacular. We did that last year perfect weather
I saw the Patriarch trip but the idea is to keep going - Sodom and Gomorrah etc up to the Baton.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching and thanks for taking the time & effort to produce.
No worries it’s a pleasure to make the videos and share with others that appreciate them. Thank you for the nice comment.
looks like a wicked spot ill definlately be checking it out
Yeah man it’s awesome up there. Watson creek camp sport was really nice also
Wow truly amazing and very spectacular trek...thank you
The first nights camp spot is one of my favourites ever. This trip maybe has been my favourite over all. Loved it.
*Ol' Pete* Yet another great video guys! Without doubt yours are among the very best on UTube! I'm sure Outdoorsman Dave below, whose videos are also great would agree.
Thank you Pete
Beautiful video! Gorgeous scenery, thanks for sharing 🏕️
Thank you
Nicely done thankyou . Love the way you are now including maps.
Cheers
I love watching to see what you guys will be eating! 🍔 🥩 🥗
Go hiking to eat food in amazing places lol
Awesome trip I'll have to do it one weekend. Your videos are great guy's, thanks👍
Definitely worth the effort. Exceed expectations great trip. Thanks for the feedback
Your investment in good camera gear has certainly paid off! Spectacular! Another hike to add to my list!
Yeah got some pretty awesome shots. Definitely go up there amazing views
Looks like an amazing campsite up there. I’ll add to my to do list. Nice video, thanks.
Yeah it’s definitely worth the effort to get up there. Many multi day trip could be done around here also. Great spot.
What an awesome day to start your hike !!
Lovely
Dying to know if Victoria ever complains or has a bad day? Love your adventures
Lol sometimes but not when camping
🇯🇵I'm from JapanI was moved to see the vast nature of New Zealand's melting snow✨Thank you for showing me the dawn in the sky
It’s our pleasure
Great video of a decent long weekend trip team. First night looks like the old Watson Hut site with that old rust corrugated steel lying around. The second looks like you were sleeping perched right on top of the Alpine Fault that runs through there! That's why it is so shaken up. The big valleys are less visited the further west you go in Nelson Lakes NP, away from TA and the Travers Sabine loop. Not many trampers go up the Durville and fewer into the Matakitaki. In summer you can walk from Mole Saddle south and drop down into George Lyon Hut. Excellent tarns along the way.
Yeah could pretty easily make this little loop a one night trip but it was nice to take out time and enjoy the new area. Hopefully November we will do a big nelson lakes loop with my brother over travers saddle then up to Thompson pass and down durville. Either that or explore some different areas of kahurangi.
After many hikes in Nelson lakes I have always looked upwards at Mole tops, now I definitely want to go there! Loving your channel thanks for taking the time to produce these. Such high quality and great footage.
I was skeptical towards the mole tops. I thought there is no way is can be as good as kahurangi or even nelson lakes. I was wrong it’s fantastic up there. I want to go down the range to my Ella at some point.
Thanks for the feedback I appreciate that you recognise the added effort we put in to try and produce a high quality video.
The kiwi Targarygen. 😆 awesome video mate 👍
Lol
What an awesome off track adventure, your fiancé is a real trooper, great you can share such terrain together. You’re hauling in those watch time hours 😉
Yea it was a great trip. Lucky in nelson so many awesome spots.
Awesome video, thanks
Thank you. It was such a good trip happy that we were able to do it and make a video to show.
@@AbelandVictoria In South Africa we use to do escarpment hikes, ascending mountain passes from 2200m to 3300m into Lesotho, and camping on the "Tops" This video reminded of those adventures
@@hermannkuhne485 sounds fun. Camping high up is the best. Epic view right out the tent door can’t be beaten.
Its a bit freaky going somewhere new isn't it. I used to live on the edge of Mt Aspiring NP for many years and the area is like an old friend to me. I've only been up here in the Tasman region for 2 years and have been doing lots of exploring but still adjusting to my surroundings. Kahurangi has already found a special place, and then theres places like this in Nelson Lakes, I mean, crikey!! Aghhh so much to do. We are so lucky. Thanks for your videos and inspiration. 👍 PS. Went camping above Granity Pass hut on Sat night with my summer tent (brrr) and all I could think about was that Big Agnes tent of yours. Might have to invest. 🏕
Yeah we feel very comfortable in kahurangi although still heaps to explore. We are planning a big trip into nelson lakes in November should be epic.
Was there any snow up at the hut? Surprising how much warmth a tent can give. The big Agnes is awesome love it.
Maybe the Mole Tops get their name from all the dimples on the ridge, looking like the entrances to mole holes. For you Victoria... Molly molly Moolllle....
Hi. LIKE. LIKE. LIKE. FOOD.
Awesome 👍😎
Fantastic view
Mole top not google map
(Tutaki )
????
Thanks mate. the app is called IHIKEgps-nz I think. its great
@@AbelandVictoria didn't find mole top on map where exactly is it??
lol, I must have pitched on that spot 20 times.
I want to head back and do a trip down the entire Ella range at some stage. You should go right up the tops again for a summer camp would be great 👍
@@AbelandVictoria have done it so many times now. it's a slog with all my gear.
@@ABCampingTony true big effort to get up there. Even upto your tree line spot is a decent mission. Thanks for tuning in. I think one of your videos was a catalyst to me wanting to make videos.I remember you saying once to just get the phone out and record if you feel like it so we did. Thanks for the inspiration looking forward to seeing what you do next. Ps i love the rants great to see someone speaking out lol.
Sorry music too loud.
CHOCOLATE. CHIPS. COOKIES. LIKE. LIKE.
Awesome video! Hey what was the app you were using on your iPhone for GPS?
Thanks. IHIKEGPS-NZ.
Well worth it I think
@@AbelandVictoria Thanks I have downloaded it. I have been using NZ Topo50 and its been great but looking for a backup.
@@kiwihikingclub7464 sweet. Is topo50 the same ?
I wonder why they are called Moletops, we do not have moles in New Zealand.
Maybe all the small tarns
What's the map app you use Abel? Cheers
IHikeGPS-NZ
beautiful vistas but the over powerin audio
during no speach not nesssary, the vistas speak
for them selfs.
I think your right.
I had shitty selection of music
Great vidio but the music was too loud. Sometimes it almost drowned our what you were saying.
Went through Nelson College a number of years back and did this route for a school camp. Nelson College has a lodge just near the start of the Jameson Ridge track. I remember when we did it we all had to sleep under a tarp in the pouring rain for a week straight. Enjoyed it but always been keen to go back with better weather.
I seen a cabin in the bush maybe it was nelson college hut? It’s awesome up there And the camp spot at the top of Watson creek is beautiful. Definitely going be going back to the mole tops at some point.
