I first walked the southern circuit in 1987.They use to maintain it back then..In 2007 it was in a shocking state.I would be lying if I said it wasnt tough.I see theres no change.But as they say at the Island.Mud is good character building stuff and as for the rain.Well you need the rain to wash the mud away. The walk through the ancient forest with moss underfoot is always a highlight and a welcome relief from the mud.Nice to hear a few Kaka as well.Mason Bay is an incredible stretch of beach too.Glad you still enjoyed it.

I’m curious about the shift from boots to trail runners. What prompted the shift?
@ShelbyandJordan4 ай бұрын
Sorry for the slow reply, I think when we started trail we were SUPERRRRRRR unprepared, so ended up buying boots as that's what we were used, but after meeting so many people in trail runners on the trail, it seemed so much more practical and generally easier and comfy, so when we started the South Island, it felt like the best time to make the switch, especially with there being a ton of river crossings in the south, so we could get our trail runners wet, and know that they would dry out super quick😊 Tbh trail runners are the only thing we tend to hike in these days, hope this kinda answers your question, thankyou so much for watching💖

Oh yes; a contentious hygiene issue I can really get my teeth stuck into (the issue that is.....not the pee!). I'm male and feel that men actually get some leniency over females when it comes to relieving oneself in nature. Strange, considering its a far easier exercise for us rather than women. Having said that though piddling in the middle of the track is bizarre in the extreme and leaving toilet paper (or any kind of paper) is even worse. Nice vid too btw.

Following your documentary on your Tour du Mont Blanc adventure. I have one question: since your backpacks are quite big (I would guess 50L), did you have to check them? How was your experience with that?
@ShelbyandJordan6 ай бұрын
Thankyou so much for following along, and sorry for the slow reply! Both our bags were 45L, but we actually only ended up checking 1 bag in, so we could take trekking poles, and pegs, etc, and just risked it with the other, which luckily worked out fine, we just packed the bulky stuff in the checked one, so the hand luggage looked smaller, but honestly I think you'd get away with it anyway, obviously just depending on the airline😊

Bit of an everything trail, passing through wilderness, villages, cities, immersing the hiker in Spanish culture and history. Keep the videos coming. Loving your content.
