I stayed at Camp Epic when I rode the TA in 2020. I had to stop at Wellington and leave New Zealand when the lockdown was about to start. I definitely need to make my way back there soon

Congrats, I can only say I can see how at min 15 you suddenly became a bikepacker and there was no way you gonna stop from there on. Well done! Congrats. And I really liked the drone shots when you were crossing the bridge. See you on the trails in september.

American with an Aussie wife living in Oz-we've done a few "credit card tours" in your beautiful country. We've thought about doing the "big trail" from the top to bottom and your video is inspirational! Honest and funny, as Kiwis seem to always be. Good on ya for putting in the time and effort both on the ride, and an excellent film to chronicle it all.

Thanks for sharing your epic journey with us Julian. A Very Inspirational watch indeed, I have just put together my first budget hard tail MTB packing rig, and are about to venture fourth on my first solo multi day ride. (A2O) I ride as often as I possibly can, Biking has been so beneficial for me maintaining positive mental health. With an ageing body, I have a deep desire to push the envelope and challenge myself mentally and physically. You have captured the many emotions of your journey in its purest form. Mega respect and admiration to you. Cheers.
