Film 34: Godley River Tahr

I went for a quick hunt up the Godley to shoot a meat animal. Made a film. Happy New Year everyone.

Enjoyable, thank you.

How did you like our little hut? Much nicer with the LED lights in it now..

It's much better! I hadn't been there in 7 years or so, need to get hold of someone to pay - had forgotten it's a NZDA owned hut.

Wonderful vid gimp.

Best wishes for 2017.

Great video, I hope you spoke to that nice young lady... ;-)

Good video in nice country, best wishes for 2017

Female by the looks so I am sure she did all the talking:thumbsup:

I liked the bit where you turned the middle of your wheels back for daylight saving.

Heading down that way at the end of the month with the darling.... Just trying to figure out how to break the news that we have to walk up the TOP of those hills!!!! Hopefully will manage to harvest my first Thar..

I was waiting for the hare to be given the bad news, all the best for 2017

I can PM you the branch bank details at some stage. :)

Did you pop in to Eade Hut while you were across the river?
We did much the same work over there back in February. Toilet, new paintjob, solar lights, general maintenance. Only catch, as we found when we got all the way up to Eade, the solar controller we were given only activates the lights about 30 mins after dusk. Getting a little dark inside by that point..

Huts and Tracks fund has been a huge benefit to our backcountry these last couple years.

Not *all* the way to the top! They're only hanging around about halfway up at the moment.

Yeah that'd be good, cheers.

Yup had a look in there and stopped for lunch, really nice little hut. Doesn't seem to see a lot of use, I guess because it's hard to get a truck across there. Wasn't game to take the Landcruiser through the main channel of the Godley, myself...

Great catch with breakfast, amazing footage of pied stilts(?) in the river bed! An outstanding bit of footage and the beauty of NZ!

Love your work Gimp

Nice Pete, that truck sure must be easier than walking up to the mcCauley hut in the middle of the night.:thumbsup:

Definitely
