Tararua S-K (2023)
Perfect kiwi endurance adventure doco
1 October 2023 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
Brilliant job telling the story of the epic high-speed lengthways traverse of the Tararua Range in New Zealand's lower North Island.
Some wonderful old footage of the pioneers talking about this crazy idea they had and their incredible adventures mixed with the story of Andy and his mates attempting it over the last few years. Some of the scenery is amazing (even though it's not far from the Capital, parts of the trail are incredibly remote).
It's a sort of kiwi version of the Bob Graham round for UK Fell Runners - reminded me of Richard Askwith book 'Feet in the Clouds'.
Even if you're not into mountain running it's a great watch (and a great promo for NZ's back country!).
