Connecting the journey
Based in Queenstown, I’m interested in how rolling, walking and paddling can link an adventure together. These earlier trip ideas explore that possibility with PackScooter prototypes, including journeys connected by public transport.

wilderness patchworks
Long distance walking tracks like the Appalachian Trail, Continental Divide Trail, Te Araroa and many Grand Randonee's are usually a patchwork of footpaths and roads. Roads are made for rolling, which inspired the PackScooter experiments documented here.
The Great North Walk (GNW), is a long distance trail joining New South Wales' two largest cities, Sydney and Newcastle. Over 250km it winds through a range of landscapes including mountains, rivers, estuaries, cityscape and farmland. It is also roughly 50% scootable, check out the (very rough) map below to get an idea about how you may use a PackScooter on your next long trip.
