I had my parents pick me up at the other end, but there is definitely a shuttle that either goes back to the North Egmont Carpark or to New Plymouth. I’m not too sure how this works but I met a lot of people that were catching it that day 😀 Thanks for watching and enjoy it - it’s a great walk!!

You really had fun with your drone and the footage ties in nicely with your earlier videos. The quality is great too - what drone are you using? Hope you have a good work/leisure balance in the US before you head back to NZ. I’m sure you must be tempted to see as much as you can before you head back home!

I had a bit of fun making this one! It's all filmed on my DJI Mini 3 Pro in 4K 60 fps mode, which came out really well. It's definitely a good small drone to carry around that still takes really video. I'm still getting the balance sorted here in the US, but there's now only one week left until fall break, so I think I might so for a bit of a bike mission (maybe ride from here in New Jersey down to Washington DC or something and get the train back), which will be nice!

Thanks for the 3 part series Jared. I’ll be back in NZ December and although in February I did the much shorter loop River Road-Central Whirinaki-Mangamate (didn’t stay there - arrived too early)- River Road I’ll definitely do the longer loop as you did. I didn’t see another soul, neither in the huts nor on the tracks but it might be a bit busier in December? I was really excited to have great views of my first ever whio, near Central Whirinaki hut. Later several more further along the tracks. I can’t see why they seem programmed to expend so much energy exchanging those strange noises to each but each to their own! The slips looked ‘interesting’ but you obviously made it out OK! Maybe DOC have done some maintenance since (but probably not). The bush was just magnificent the whole way - that’s something I really miss. Can’t wait to get back to it!
@onthetrailnz
@onthetrailnz Ай бұрын
Ahh the Mangamate Loop is a really good one as well! I did that a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. I don't think Whirinaki every really gets that busy - I did the Mangamate a few days before Christmas and saw maybe one other person. The whio are definitely cool to see and there's so many around there! I doubt DOC has done anything since I went in - they've only just fixed the slip on the 42 Traverse that happened in 2022, so they're a little slow... I can't wait to get back to NZ hiking!!

Why the protective gear at Vintgar Gorge? One word: Americans (from USA). They bang their heads on the rocks, they drown in the stream, they break their arms when making selfies, etc... Sorry about the 10 EUR fee, but it's not our fault. We just don't like to get sued by crazy tourists.

You were off season too, but try visiting the National Parks in August! We visited several a few years ago and although beautiful they were ruined by the number of visitors. No helmets then and I can't possibly see why they would ever be necessary. Just covering themselves I guess, and attempting to justify the entrance fee? In NZ, apart from a few honeypots (e.g. Tongariro Crossing) it is so easy to escape the hoards. We're incredibly lucky in that respect. Isolation and a small population has its advantages!

Or you could try Te Kuiti if you want an easier one. Thanks for sharing your view on being called Balkan and I'm sorry if you found it derogatory.

Great to see grape vines all over the place around Split Jared! That is the origin of the NZ wine industry right there. The original "Dalmatian" migrants - the gumdiggers - came from the area around Split and brought their love of wine with them. I wonder if there is any memory of that migration in Split? Our wines used to be submitted to wine judging in Ljubljana.

Hi, sorry for the late reply - I’m in Iceland right now!! I bought the youth one month bus pass for the Nordland region (about €30 for the month for under 25s). I’m not sure about the value of the other passes but the youth pass was definitely worth it for me. You can see the prices and buy them (and single tickets) in the Reis Nordland app, which covers the whole Nordland region (all of Lofoten and quite a bit more). You need to have some kind of ticket on the app to get on the bus. Hope that helps!!

@@辛福-m5l I think the standard 7 day adult pass for Nordland is 1290 NOK (about 110 Euros). I'm not sure if there is a senior one available. I didn't really look at the prices of the tickets since I had the pass, but I know for sure that for the trip I did, the pass was worth it. Individual tickets are quite expensive. With either a pass or a ticket, the only way to buy and use them is with the Reis Nordland app (or the Troms Billet app for the Troms og Finnmark region). You can enter two points on the app and it will give ticket options and should also show you the passes. You can't use paper tickets or cash - they aren't sold there.
