Thanks for your feedback!

We took about 8 hours in total (for context, we generally take half the recommended duration). Hope this helps.

Thank you OG Ngal!

Like porpoises smallest dolphins

So do we!

Glad you liked it, Isaac!

@@LadyExplorer Yeah, it helped make up my mind to head there for snowboarding. Heading there in about a week. :)

Thanks S J! We use insta360, which typically comes with a stick.

Thanks! We use Google Earth Studio. It's free - check it out!

Thanks! The plan was to smile the pain away 😅 Hope you had a good trip!

1) We carried a 40L backpack each :) 2) Cheese, mushrooms, tomatoes, broccoli, tuna, almonds, peanut butter, chocolate (90-100%), coffee (black without sugar), chia seeds, cream, avos

@@LadyExplorer NOICE! How about doing a video on what you guys generally pack on a trek! Hahas we are trekking enthusiasts but it’s so challenging having to manage both camera gear, the clothes we pack, the food we bring along and miscellaneous trekking stuff hahas. As is, I always wonder how to enjoy, be in the moment where we are and document the journey! 😂

@@SCHWARZENEGGERCHIA wow you read our minds! here's our latest video, fresh from the oven, for a glimpse of what we pack/eat and also how the inside of the huts look like: ruclips.net/video/JgrddIWVqEk/видео.html

Time to unlock the potential in those calves and hams 🔥🔥 Would love to hear how about your experience in them :)

So do we! 😍

Thank you the kind words, Mark

Hi there! Neither. We covered the entire route in a single day :)

@@LadyExplorer Wow! The whole Great Walk? We did a little lake close to Waikaremoana and stayed at the hut. We were thinking of staying at the Holiday Park and taking the water taxi to do sections.

They were created with Google Earth maps!

Would love to, we missed out on a Mt Hutt trip this year with the lockdown :(

Thanks for your support Peter! Good idea for the girls to start young ;)

Thanks EM NZ! Yes we did. Otherwise it'd be pretty dangerous in winter.

Thanks Chris :)

Yes I'm sure you'll love the hike, Darryl. Thanks for the great spot - corrected!

Thank you Zane :)

Thanks Koshy, glad you enjoyed it :)

Hello Eddie! Are you based in NZ too? Hehe I'm not from Malaysia (Singaporean here :p) although Keith is from Penang! Sama sama...

Thank you Finn! Glad you enjoyed it. We had a lot of fun shooting and editing this one :D

Thanks, the stunning Mount Taranaki definitely helped :)

Thanks for the kind words :)

​@@LadyExplorer Oh yes, I'm VERY interested.... your pre-event dinner and trail food didn't have any carbs. Do you follow a carb-free plan? I'm focusing on low carb but not sure what to do pre-race. Or during the race... Can't seem to find any "trail runner specific" info on it either. Any ideas?? Thanks!

Hi @@Fergusayo yes you're right, we are currently on a LCHF (low carb high/healthy fat) diet and we don't have carbs, except from vegs/nuts/seeds. A pre-race meal would be a hearty lamb steak cooked in generous portions of butter and kale/spinach the night before, plus some eggs for breakfast. Our go-do fuel during training runs are: peanut butter, soaked chia seeds/flax seeds and "keto-rade" which is basically Himalayan pink salt dissolved in water squeezed with some lemon. Sometimes we bring a mandarin orange or two. During races, however, we do indulge with some bananas and electrolyte water which helps give a boost when we really need it out on the trails. Before we changed our diet, we were heavy carb eaters and would load up on heaps of sugary gels during our runs. So it did take a while to adjust and the journey wasn't an easy one, but I documented my personal experience here if you are keen to find out more: ladyexplorer.com/2020/01/18/rediscovering-nutrition-running-life/ Good luck!

@@Fergusayo thanks again for your detailed response, I also read your article. Need to get my head round the v low carb thing. Just seems totally foreign to me and ive not seen any nutrition articles on it regarding endurance. I’ll keep searching! Post us your next big epic adventure. We are so lucky to be able to do these in NZ at present. Just did the Shotover moonlight event last week... and 48 hours before the start we thought we’d still be in lockdown!

We arrived at Mintaro Hut just before noon and from Mintaro Hut to Mackinnon Pass, it's about 5.60km at an elevation of 577m (based on my GPS watch data). It took us about 1.5hr to reach Mackinnon Pass, but we ran up without our heavy packs as we left them in the hut. Also the duration varies greatly between individuals so I guess you'll have to assess how you feel when you're on the track. Good luck! :)

One more last question.. What time you normally start your trip every day?

@@sambrown7079 No worries :) I'd say we usually leave the hut about 7am ish? Have a lovely hike and stay safe!

Hey Sam, this was shot on a combination of the Sony Alpha A6300, insta360 and iPhone 7. Drones are strictly prohibited on the Milford Track now (and the other Great Walks/NZ National Parks too I believe)

Thanks a lot for your valuable information.😊

Hi John, this was shot on a combination of the Sony Alpha A6300, insta360 and iPhone 7 :)

Thank you for your kind comment! Glad you enjoyed it and do check out my channel for more of such videos :)

Thanks Ariel, we sure did! 😊

Thanks Joli :)

Hello Xin Yi! Always nice to come across a fellow Singaporean in NZ. Enjoy the West Coast Plan ;)
