The old school Kiwi attitude, style, filming, voiceover is epic. One of the best clips I've seen on Nz On Screen yet.

Wow, great footage! Could anybody tell me where I can purchase this documentary on tape (VHS i guess) or a digital version if available??

Graeme Dingle and Peter Hillary must look back on their 1974 jaunt down the Hollyford River and shake their heads at how astoundingly foolhardy it was: no helmets; bare feet; very little kayaking skill; and taking to the river when it was in flood. So much for Ed's admonition to 'be prepared': he would rightly get a ticking off from today's Police/SAR.
Still, it's an inspiration to get out in the bush. Go to it, it's a great place.

Watched it with my 3-year-old daughter. She said: "Hillary is the one wearing pants."
