We watch a lot of you tube channels on Sailing, and lately Caravans, which has inspired us to get our own Caravan and travel NZ as well. Your channel is now probably our favourite to view. It is getting better every time you post (we subscribed at 1200). Well done, and may you keep showing off our beautiful country.

THanks team. I guess the editing keeps getting better the more videos I make aye... We do live in paradise here in New Zealand.... THanks for the encouragement. I'm so looking forward to the snowy episodes when we get some snow lol...

Your videos are very good. Driven up that valley a few times but not the walk, great drive, The walk next time. Your sure lucky with the weather

I can't think of anywhere in NZ that has better scenery than the Wanaka area.

Wanaka is exceptional, I do think the most beautiful place would have to be around Glenorchy and Kinloch head waters of Lake Wakatipu, geographically pretty close, but there's not much out there but Nature.

This is magical. What a childhood. Hi Sophie =)

Tooth Pain and back pain are the worst I reckon, both are debilatating. My tooth was so bad walking down Mt Iron, which I didn't film, I couldn't even talk, I wanted to just lay there on the trail... I reckon it was still so busy in Wanaka, no where to park at day time, and it wasn't the school holidays, It would be chaos when it is.

Excitingly, we'll be there soon on honeymoon from the UK. Utterly beautiful! We're staying in Wanaka; what's your "must see" suggestion as we're only there for one day.

Ah Mike, you're too tense! Unclench thise teeth! Lol. The country continues to look spectacular and your weather mostly kind. My dog Rocky, (remember him?) Would have loved those piles of autumn leaves. He lived the sound it made when he ran through them. We got ordered off our boats tonight with a tsunami alert. Thank The Lord it didn't happen!

@@leopardsgowild there was a gathering of evacuated boaties in the carpark, waiting to see what happened. We were allowed back after about an hour and a half. Lucky it was not a cold wet night. Actually quite pleasant socializing with other boaties.

Thanks, I'm totally going to do some of that stuff next time I'm down there. Is the skyline really hilly or is it runnable; how does the gradient compare with Kepler, say? I think I'm going to head down there in July, on the way to the office in Dunedin; I just bought a ticket for the All Blacks v Aussie in Dunners so I'm timing it for that! Hopefully I have time to do a bit of Fjordland while I'm down there but we'll have to see. Great to see you've gone way past 3000 subscribers now; chuffed for you guys!

The Skyline trail I think is harder than the Kepler.. the grind up to Roys Peak is very similar to Mt Fyffe in Kaikoura, but once you reach the summit, your only 8km into your 24km... THen you got a steep down hill, with a very steep uphill to the summit of Mt Alpha, then it's 8km of down hill 2 stream crossings and some muddy section to finish it off, but the views are incredible... I wouldn't want to do it in summer, there is no shade the entire way. Well worth doing though.

@@leopardsgowild Fantastic, thanks for such a detailed description. Hmm, you may remember I did Mount Fyffe after I saw you guys did it, and I couldn't walk properly for days! :-D My fault for jogging most of the way down :-/ So I'm glad you pointed out the comparison. Think I'll hike it first and then maybe have a crack at running it later in the year as my running improves. When I say run, I'd not be running the inclines; I'd walk them.

Nice video Mike so there's no free capping around this area.
