Wilkies pools and Mt Taranaki
En lille video fra turen til Wilkies pools der ligger på sydvest siden af Mt Taranaki og selve turen op til Mt Taranaki summit (også kaldet Mt Egmont). En gammel vulkan, der har sovet siden 1775 og er 2518 m.o.h - vi startede i ca 900 m højde. Den anbefalede tid er 8-10 timer retur. En smuk oplevelse!
OBS* Man skal medbringe vand, tøj, mad og være forberedt på alle forhold, det er ikke for sjov, 86 mennesker er omkommet på bjerget. Det er uhyre vigtigt at tage højde for forholdene og vejret og ens egen form. Den afmærkede rute byder på stejle stigninger med bl.a. meget løs grus, trapper enkelte steder, klatring/kravl imellem sten og krydsning af is/sne.

About this video:
It’s Day 54 of New Zealand’s Biggest Gap Year where we’re doing 365 days: 365 activities! Today’s activity is walking the Enchanted Track in Egmont National Park on the slopes of Mt Taranaki!
We drive from Stratford to the forests surrounding the lower slopes of Mt Taranaki, covered in winding dense forests that look like something from a fairy tale. We find out soon enough why they call the walk we go on the Enchanted Track.
The Enchanted Track in Egmont National Park goes through the beautiful forests in a loop joining to other tracks along the way. We are amazed by this awesome wilderness environment right here in the Egmont National Park.
It’s back to the Stratford Holiday Park after doing the Enchated Track of Egmont National Park.

Robyn and Greg Take on New Plymouth (Mt. Taranaki and Three Sisters)
Kia ora from New Plymouth on the west coast of New Zealand! In this video we hike some of the Goblin Forests surrounding Mount Taranaki and then walk along the black sand beaches at Three Sisters and (formerly) elephant rock. I also had some fun playing with my new video editing software!
A video of Goblin Forest
Here is a short video clip of the Goblin Forest. I had to pass through there the other day on my way to Mount Taranaki. It was a quiet and beautiful place in a creepy way.
