MOST INCREDIBLE VIEW in Taranaki, Mt Egmont, New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@peterelliott2914]

It must be about to rain. There's an old saying in Taranaki - if you can see the mountain it's about to rain and if you can't see it it's raining already.

[@GlenAndMado]

haha yeah very true! it was sad when we arrived and we couldn't see the mountain for nearly a week! :(

[@dforestation2064]

Awesome video as always guys. Takes me back to my teenage years when my father would take my step brother and I tramping over the Mt Taranaki ranges.

[@GlenAndMado]

Hope you enjoyed my friend :) its nice to know that this video brought back good memories of your child hood! its truly a beautiful place indeed. Hope your having a great weekend so far!

[@Devilofdoom]

I climbed Mt Taranaki last Summer. It's the most amazing view. You can see all the way to Wellington.

[@modfus]

Congratulations G&M on another great video. You two must be getting super fit 😉

[@GlenAndMado]

yeah I think so! we definitely should do it more though 😂😂

[@RS_FootballEditz]

If you do this trek, it is well worth it to walk a few extra km to henry peak. Just keep walking straight past the lake and the view is even more stunning. I did this wth my 40 year old mum with little experience, difficult but definately doable. Unfortunately we had to wait 1 hour to see the view 😭

Beautiful Views

Good information ❤

[@Dave_Kennett]

Love your videos guys. You seem to be having a great trip in NZ. Keep up the good work ....... and I love Mado's Irish accent / did you teach her Glen? lol

[@Duce_tha_uce]

Cool video! Those bush tracks off the side of the main track are trap lines. Set traps for possums, rats, stoats etc.. I work trap lines in the Wellington, Porirua area

Glad you got some good weather for your hike up the Mt. Crazy to be above the clouds and looking down from there. Hope you didn't get sun burnt or heat stroke from that 17C :P How are you finding NZ temperatures compared to Europe and Ireland?

No mado was very sick for a few weeks as she caught orf virus of lambs which happens over a 6 week period but 2 weeks you break out in boils and a rash from head to toe. A very case but she’s all healthy again

Mounga Taranaki ❤

[@robertbaird4822]

The bar where you had the pizza,is my son's,glad you enjoyed it.

[@GlenAndMado]

Its a small world!

[@harpyhill]

It's called mount taranaki not egmont

[@GlenAndMado]

For generations, Taranaki Māori battled for official restoration of the mountain's Māori name. In 1986 the New Zealand Geographic Board approved the name change, and the following year it was announced both Taranaki and Egmont would be the official names for the mountain. It is called both actually lol

[@jadeowenhamblyn4405]

Nobody in New Zealand call it Mt Egmont anymore, we are trying where possible to restore Maori place-names. Btw, the tracks going off the main track with the coloured shape markers are usually department of conservation trap lines with predator traps.

[@harpyhill]

@@GlenAndMado both of you know nothing about my country and its history, it has always been known as Taranaki Māunga!! Let it be known.

[@harrycurrie9664]

Ease up friend, Captain Cook called it Mt Egmont just as a navigation point, I doubt very much he landed there and probably never knew what Māori called it until much later @@harpyhill

[@troyboy83]

Chill out, mate@@harpyhill No need to go all keyboard warrior on this awesome couple who are just trying to share their experience travelling around this fine country.
