A thoroughly enjoyable and realistic portrayal of the trial and tribulations that early European explorers faced during their exploration of New Zealand with the realization that many of these early European explorers were ill equipped for the adventures that they under took
Follows on nicely from the first series and keeps your attention,
Awesome Christmas gift for our 10 year old. He watches the episodes over and over :)
Series 2 of First Crossings, the TVNZ show where the thrill of adventure comes to life!
First Crossings Season 2 sees Kevin and Jamie recreate eight historical journeys, as we witness the gruelling physical and mental demands those early explorers endured, experiencing the same heady mix of fear,frustration and elation.
Like Sir Ed in 1944, Kevin and Jamie not only climbMt Tapuaenuku in the Kaikoura Ranges in a day,they cycle 80km to get there – in 1940s clothes and on 1930s bicycles!
Using pioneering scuba gear, the boys recreate Kelly Tarlton’s early diving expeditions in the 1950s as he sought treasure from the Elingamite wreck at the notorious Three Kings Islands.
They follow the fateful footsteps of gold-miner Alphonse Barrington, whose 1864 mid-winter traverse of mountain ranges and glaciers near Queenstown is unique in our history for its “boldness born of desperation”. A story that has Kevin and Jamie eating roasted rat!
They will get into the minds of those great and brave New Zealanders whose stories they are honouring. With their ability to succinctly vocalise their thoughts, Kevin and Jamie transform silent, black and white historical figures into vibrant, multi-faceted and intelligent characters.
