Griff Rhys Jones is on an epic journey from the tip to the toe of New Zealand but has set himself a challenge to avoid Highway One and journey the Kiwi roads less travelled.
In this episode, he begins his trip at the very northern point of New Zealand, Cape Reinga, and is welcomed by a Maori chief of the region and challenged to make himself at home. Griff uses this challenge to discover the many people who have ‘made themselves at home' in New Zealand, including Maori, English whalers, missionaries, and modern visitors.
On the second leg of Griff Rhys Jones' epic North south tour of New Zealand's back roads, Griff decides the best way to avoid highway one is to start by flying over it and heading straight to the Coromandel Peninsula. On the way, he spies Auckland's many extinct volcanos, and his pilot issues him the challenge not to fall into a volcano. Wise words indeed.
Griff arrives on the South Island where he visits an old whaling station and is set to work on a sheep farm.
Griff is challenged with jumping off a cliff before finishing his epic journey in the southernmost town of Bluff.
