That walk looked absolutely spectacular! The view where you stopped for lunch would take some beating, although after that hike those beers must've been an equally welcome sight .
Thoroughly enjoyed this! Thank you for sharing your perspective, and your joy with us - a very good watch! 😊 I am so glad you lived your Lord of the Rings dream in our little country. 💖🌳🤗👍🏿🌏
Speechless Pete, absolutely stunning scenery. Reminds me of the last mountain I climbed. Mount Kenya. Started out before dawn to climb up and watch the sunrise. That will remain with me for the rest of my life. Thanks mate.
Really enjoyed these videos. As a LOTR fan myself it was interesting to see the locations. Stunning views on the mountain climb. Puts walking up the hill at Goodwood into perspective !!. Safe trip back 👍
At least you lucked out one day with Ruapehu's weather. Glad you enjoyed it. Plenty more like that further South plus some great driving roads too Pete. Next time, let us know when you are coming and can organise something special.
That sir Pete is most likely the closest I’ll ever get to seeing new Zeeland and the lord of the ring locations. That was fantastic. Thank you for being us along for the adventure. What amazing views on the walk. Also what fun to be at the hobbit town. So cool sir Pete
That bar at the beginning looked like the interior of a Dwarven Drinking House. Though I'm pretty sure they don't sell coffee in those places. Stunning scenery even though I'm an avid hater of the snow and cold (Just look at my name to see where I'm from and you'll understand my aversion to snow!). My Missus is under 5 foot tall, so I know where at least ONE Hobbit lives :-)) Safe trip home mate. Looking forward to Astonday.
Greetings from Colorado! Whole LOTTA protein in that breakfast as well... We're baking under the weight of a occasionally hot summer and an unusual weight of runaway forest fires. Stay warm and try not to have too much fun
Kia ora Ped, big ups to you for doing this in, I'm guessing late Autumn. Not to sure the month you completed it. For most locals its done in late spring or summer because you can do it without crampons and in walking shoes. I've done the walk a number of times but not when the snow is around. I may need to have another crack! Nga mihi
As a kiwi I must admit we take a lot of this for granted, it’s instructive to see our country through others eyes. Well done.
Peter...it's such a stunning place. I just need to come back for longer as there is still so much to see :-)
I really enjoyed that, thanks Peter and save travels back to blighty.
Back home safe and sound 👍
That was spectacular Ped! How amazing the mountain and Hobbiton looks.Those views! You're so right...I have to go there.
You do indeed 😉
Brilliant Peter,
Beats walking my hound on the Wiltshire Ridgeway tomorrow morning , on a fantastic British very sunny summer morning?
Fantastic footage! Glad you got to experience NZs natural beauty 👍👍
Amazing country 👏
Hope you're enjoying yourself in my home country Peter, and that you've enjoyed the Kiwi hospitality!
Mate, it was awesome. Great country and great people 😍

Great video! Thank you. New Zealand is a pretty special place.
