Awesome footage guys! The 'green fluff' on the trees is lichen; it only thrives in clean air and is a sign of good air quality. Even though it was windy, you were filling your lungs with the good stuff!
You are worth your weight in gold the way you enthuse about our country. Thank you 👏👏👏
Awh you absolute legend Darrell thanks for the lovely words your good as gold 😉
The guy shouldn't be blasphemously using Jesus's name
Good grief viewers, hit those Likes!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍What more do you want?? 🤷♀️🤷♂️😢
It's a one hour twenty video, so give people a chance to watch it first!😄😉
@@BeachcomberNZ when people like these work this hard on their videos, I hit that like on my way in!!
Thanks heaps Lesley you legend ❤️
I don't know why you two are so exhausted at the end, from where Im sitting it only took you 1 hour 20 minutes. pretty easy 😁😁😁
Fantastic effort and as a kiwi I thank you for promoting our country so wonderfully.... Nga mihi guys...
The noise you could hear from the trees on day three was made by cicadas
Iris Burn - named for my mother, whose family were early Fiordland settlers, explorers, climbers. Never been to it so excted to visit vicariously through you guys. Thank you.
Awesome video. A little trick for carrying eggs. Break them into a cylinder container (water bottle), fill any extra space with water. Pour the water out and then the eggs will pour out one at a time. Then fill the excess with water and they won't break.
That’s absolute magic thanks for tip 🙌
I was captivated from beginning to the end. Better than Lord of the Rings !
Hahahah far from it 😂
Your best video yet, and movie length too! Really enjoyed that, thank you guys.
Damn yeah was hard to fit it all into one video. Was hesitating to split the video in two.
thank you guys so much for cheering up my hum drum day
Awh thanks for watching means the world to us!
You are the most amazing couple your enthusiasm and friendliness are the best
That was by far your best!!
Your messing! 😂
So awesome guys - I watched the whole thing!
Excellent and enjoyable watch, and congratulations on pushing through, despite the weather! The Kea parrots certainly took a shine to you! As for the chopper, I think it may have been on a waste collection flight, probably to that alpine toilet with the big tanks, which are what the chopper would be picking up and replacing with an empty one. That yellow water is most likely coloured that way from the tannins released by decaying plant matter in the streams - sort of a natural tea.
Yeah your totally right in relation to the choppers we were at the huts when the chopper was coming that morning and the ranger was explaining 🙂
The sound track made it even more epic😂👍
Such amazing hike
The footage also very wonderful to watch
The sceneries is top tier
Great video. A little concerned about Glen's lack of layers in the cold stuff. And there were periods when it would have been great to have hiking poles. But glad you made it and took us along for the journey. As a great NZer once said, you knocked the bastard off! :)
Hahah cold due to being so wet! That was probably the factor. We basically only did 2 great walks so no use buying all the expensive gear as we wouldn’t need it again when we leave Nz. Appreciate it mark means a lot we did our best 😂
The best thing in this episode is that you guys always stay positive even in the extreme weather condition! Walking Kepler track has came to the top list of my next New Zealnd travel. Thank you for amazing video! Huge respect from Japan👏🇯🇵
That was wonderful!
You made my day for 72 year old soul. Your attitude is amazing! Safe travels to both of you.
Those shower facilities are great! I just wish all towns and cities had them, everywhere!!😊
😂 im allowed to touch mushrooms, mado. I thoroughly enjoyed this, you two are legends
😂😂😂😂
Amazing video. Thank you both for taking me on your journey. ❤️
what a treat! over an hour!
Great Video. I really enjoyed it. I was lucky enough to be part of the group that hiked from the Moturau Hut to the Iris Burn Valley marking the track along the way in 1986. That hike took us 3 days through dense bush, sides of mountains that slid into the river and the rain. I helped build the Iris Burn Hut and a small section of the track from the hut. I have great photo's of stages of the construction of the hut from laying the foundation to raising the wall frames. I walked the track in 1989 when it officially opened. I was really surprised at how it looked then. I did it again in 2011. This time the Iris Burn Hut had extras added to it. Seeing it on your video it seems to have grown even bigger. 1989 capacity was 20 bedder. 2011 capacity 40 bedder. Your video 50 bedder. I have plans to have one more crack in 2026. It will be the 40th anniversary.
wow impressive, very interesting and thanks for sharing your story🙂
They are only thinking of your safety with these rules guys. You don't want to have to pay to get the helicopter in to rescue you. Put the volunteers at risk also.Te Anau is awesome. I have stayed at the holiday park up on the hill at the end of town, in my campervan two or three times.
😂😂 you two are so chaotic and joyful, love it 😂😂
We do our best thanks heap Marias 😂
So glad those clouds parted for you! Lord of the Rings crew were most definitely a brave lot! Well done to you two!😊💫💫👏 Gorgeous video
That was an epic trip GLenn and Mado enjoyed it....NICKY is exceptional. value don't know where she got to but your AWSOME NICKY
The scenery in this video is simply magical, people should feel privileged to be able to access such an amazing piece of the world , I am sure the kepler track will be etched in your memory for life, especially the wild day 2 where every step could be your last, i think mother nature actually lives there , Top effort Mado and Glen -Fantastic have watched it twice , cheers
I can't wait to hike this track again. Great video!! I love the music at 32mins, haha so funny
So, that was the warm up track... Next time you visit NZ I will guide you on the Te Araroa, if you would like,.. The 3000km route stretching from Cape Reinga in the north of New Zealand to Bluff in the south... Takes about 4 months... Would suggest a month of training with a backpack if you are keen 👍💪
Best mossy and sandfly spray is ""Bushmans"In a green can from Australia. Nothing else works apart from a mix of equal amounts of Johnsons baby oil and Dettol!! Well done on doing the track too, great effort and amazing views!!
We actually had that! Didn’t do much to be honest! We had the bushman’s cream 80percent deet 😂 thanks heaps for the recommendation
Wow, not much you can do about them then. Cover right up when you head to the West Coast then. Stay safe and keep having fun 🙏🙏@@GlenAndMado
@@GlenAndMado I have old perfume it really works with the sand flies. I cannot find my original comment. Suffice to say at next op shop check out scent section🫶🏼
Cicadas are our Summer insects cacophony summer sounds in kiwi land
You made the trek so enjoyable LEGENDS 🫶🏼
Those bags are huge. I hope Glen carried all his own food!😊 Much better to have more food, clothes etc than you need, just in case of any emergencies. I wish the weather had been nicer right through though, for your first time!
Well done guy's!!
Quite often these South Island mountains require patience with weather and river levels.
I did the Kepler a few years ago and had hail most of the second and saw that kea in the same spot.
Ouch that sounds painful! We’re lucky we didn’t get golf balls bounced of our head 🫣
I enjoyed that, nice job guys!!
Mado, please don't be frightened of our gorgeous ' green parrots ' 😊 They are just very inquisitive and cheeky and friendly, Just think of the fact that they have to survive in that wilderness and weather, poor wee things.
Haha she was afraid that they would steal the camera from my hand 😂🙌
Amazing vedio and a beautiful part of the country. Thankyou for taking us with you. It was windy and raining but your enthusiasm and positive attitudes made us watch to the end
Haha glad you enjoyed every moment Henry! It’s a long video to sit down and watch 😂 super grateful for you 🙌
Great footage of your hike..the good (like how positive Glen is motivating Mado on), the bad (weather) and the ugly (sandflies attack 😂). Thanks for sharing reality and challenges of the long hike in bad weather
There are some awesome tracks in NZ.
I've done a few, but it's my home country so I should have. Never done that one though.
New Zealand is absolutely beautiful you should be out enjoying it and seeing it all! 👀😉
You were great Glen encouraging Mado onward. fluffy stuff is lichen ( lye- kin)
Thank you for taking us on your hike. I walked the beginning of that track a few years ago. It is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Enjoy your pie!
We definitely enjoyed the pie!
Simply amazing…everything
Fantastic. Bravo
Love the video, thanks.

guys make a bottle of half olive oil and half vinager shake well before you use this will keep sandflies away love watching
good call! wish we knew that at the time :(
Well done.
Hi Guys, excellent video of the unforgettable Kepler track! I stumbled onto this clip and thought i'd better check it out as the weather looked shocking, nearly as bad as when we did it earlier this year! Well, believe it or not and to my upmost surprise the weather was identical because we feature in your video!! At the 24.00-minute mark our group is on the left sitting down in Luxmore hut and then at 45:11 you feature my back at Iris burn! I didn't personally meet you or talk to you but you may have interacted with some of our group but what an experience on day two hey! Man! that was wild across the top.
I have now subscribed and appreciate the longer videos, keep them rolling and happy travelling.
Cheers, Alan, Janet and Tully.
Amazing guys, tu meke 🤙
Wow you both are so brave to survive all weather conditions . The terrain is breathtaking. Well done guys !
Wow.. I've never done those walks. You guys have seen more of my country than I have. Living the dream. Amazing.

a wonderful vid I am so glad you both made it back and enjoyed it .
Thank you! yeah it was such an amazing achievement.
Well your camera work and those views are tremendous!
Top work guys, I am glad you saw blue ducks, very special birds that many haven't seen. those "crickets" in the trees are Cicatas.
You bet what an amazing experience 🙂
Great video and awesome footage well done.
waow 😵💫
Fabulous video ......
Amazing adventure thanks fir showing me this love track as I can't hike anymore and it was on my list of tracks to do
That was great you two. Te Anau is my happy place I go there once a year for a week but have never walked the Kepler. So good to follow you along. Loving the way your showcasing our country to the world 👌
The weather was crazy but your hike will probably be more memorable because of it - the changing conditions were quite awesome 👍😃
Such a cool adventure. Great filming effort too.
Fantastic video, guys! A great advertisement for the Kepler track! I hope you had an easy trip back to Invercargill and enjoyed your pies!
That was FUN!!! laying in bed watching you both. Unfortunately I would never be able to do such things any more...Loved it....Thankyou so much
Congratulations on making it. Was a great watch. My legs are sore from all the hills.
Hahah love it 😂 we were in a jock after it
Fantastic vlog guys, needed the longer version.
Weather may not have been "blue sky perfect" but the stormy conditions bring their own beauty to the party.
What an experience !
Have to return one day, when the barometer is a little bit more favourable 🌤 :)
Well done Glen, Mado & your friend Nikki
