Pencarrow Head Bike Ride - Cycling, Surfers & Lighthouses | Eastbourne, Wellington, NZ
Pencarrow Head. We rode there on bikes on a cloudy day. The sea was a dark green and surfers braving the cold were enjoying themselves on the waves.
The original lighthouse sits atop the cliffs overlooking the newer lighthouse. Supposedly the cloud and fog restricts the visibility of the original lighthouse and the newer, lower one on the shore is more effective.
Shirena and I rented our mountain bikes from The Bike Shed Pencarrow -
Pencarrow Head is on the far side of the entrance to Wellington Harboour and is accessed on land via Eastbourne.
Equipment used:
* GoPro Hero 4 Black
* iPhone 6
* DJI Phantom 4 -
* Feiyutech WG Gimbal -
* Monopod
* Pole mount

Bike Ride to Pencarrow Head | Eastbourne | Wellington | New Zealand | Lighthouse
We rented bikes and rode out to Pencarrow Head. It's a fun ride along a flat coastline track. Pencarrow has two lighthouses, the one atop the cliffs is decommissioned while the lower is still active.
Despite the track being flat the entire way, it's a hard ride in some places due to the high winds. The rough rocky coastline is beautiful. Along the way, look out for the little huts on the beach made of driftwood.
Getting There
===========
To reach Pencarrow Head, drive from Wellington to Eastbourne and park up at the car park at the end of Muritai Road. Either walk or ride along Pencarrow Coast Road to reach Pencarrow Head and the lighthouses. Bikes can be rented from The Bike Shed Pencarrow which is at the Muritai Road car park.

The aerial shots of bike riding were done using the DJI Phantom 4's Active Track Intelligent Flight mode so that it would follow me while the orbits around the lighthouse and driftwood huts were achieved using the Phantom's Point of Interest mode.

34 Km adventure walk, Wellington NZ
In short I was bored (amongst other things) so headed off on a day long walk to gather my thoughts so to speak. Planned on following the coastline all the way but tide and fatigue drove me inland back to the start point...which ironically was nearly the same distance as doing the intended route, but was safer given I was new to the area. The steep beach is the Cook Straight separating the North and South Islands. Where you see the dark jagged rocks in the distance, I was forced up the hill on the left...450 vertical metres in about as many horizontal...

Some footage shot with the Mobius 2 action cam from a 5 fpv quad on the beach south of Eastbourne while out with the family. This location is beautiful and proves you can't beat Wellington on a good day, of which there are few...and surely enough we got a big downpour of rain later that evening :)
Rimutaka Cycle Trail - Wairarapa
The Ocean Beach to Orongorongo section of the Rimutaka Cycle Trail was one of the most scenic cycle trails we've experienced. Yes, it is challenging for the semi-experienced.
There are panoramic vistas across the Cook Straight and you can see the Kaikoura Ranges on a clear day.
We were lucky to have scored two perfect days to cycle from Ocean Beach to Orongorongo which was 30km round trip and took us just over 3 hours to complete.
There was slips to negotiate and some stream crossings which just made it more interesting.
