  • Hey Team this week we have a mixed bag of the best weather you can get camping combined with great fishing and location, with then bad weather and some cabin fever looking for breaks in the rain to get outside while we can...
    Marenui beach has a great POP (Park over Property) Which we really enjoyed, we spent 4 days here exploring, fishing, playing and walking before the weather turned and we had a day inside which was actually well needed.
    From there we left for Te Kaha, where we stayed on our friends (The Guests) holiday batch where they like to go diving and fishing and enjoy the quietness of a small town. It was a pity the weather wasn't great because we were keen to do some fishing off the rocks, and maybe get the snorkel sets out... Maybe next time.

      Cheers team, well done on making it to 2k... Quite the journey isn't it... We'll be there soon enough hopefully... Yea sometimes they get a bit freaked out putting the fish back, if they have a bit of a flap on the beach when the kids try pick them up, lol... This Pop was great I'm guessing there are a few good ones down south.

    Great footage, and some nice snapper for dinner. A real mix of weather. The East Cape is another place I'd love to get back to for a decent trip. We last visited in around 2004 with a wee camper trailer during a massive storm event so didn't see a whole lot

      It's a place exposed to the elements aye, very little infrustructre and shops, and it's way put of the way, far from everything no wonder so many people don't go this way. I'd say it hasn’t changed since 2004. Was 2012 we last came round seems the same, but more closed down... I was do happy to eat that Snapper 😋

We have sometimes left the awning out and then had to take it in at 2am when wind has picked up, so we basically just pack it in every night now.

I hope those places open up again it's basically made every business down the coast close. Even tye macadamia Cafe was closed

    How does the hilux go pulling the van? Obviously you’re in quite mountainous terrain. Does it struggle up the hills? I have a hilux and not to sure to upgrade or hold onto it. We get a new van soon and fully loaded it will be 3T. What are your thoughts on it?

      Hey Thanks for the comment stoked as on a great sized snapper.... beer was a slow drinking beer catching to many fish 🐟... mate the Hilux is a beast, not sure what version you have, we have the SR5 we put it in power mode when towing, pulls the Caravan sweet as, windy hill roads its not uncommon to be in 2nd gear, I try not to let it work to hard so a steep one I just keep the reeves at 2.5rpm and cruise up rather then forcing it...
