I love this series, as a foreigner who has visited NZ twice for a total of 9 months I have been to many of these places and your videos take me right back. I climbed Ben Lomond the way you shouldn't back in 2015. started to hike in the afternoon with bad equipment, sun was already quite low when we left the summit. On the way down I stumbled and injured my hand. After first aid treatment at the upper gondola station I ended up in Queenstown hospital to have the wound properly cleaned and stitched back together. Still I remember this as a fun time!
I climbed Ben Lomond today! It's a wonderful experience to witness the Ben Lomond Summit PANORAMIC view of the mountain. It is not the mountain we conquer, But ourselves too! We started at the skyline access road we spent almost 7hrs.Thank you QT New Zealand #PHILIPPINES
Did this hike last week, the weather was not good but I still enjoyed the view from summit. It took me 2 hours from gondola, 1 hour to the saddle and another 1 to summit. I think I’m pretty fit and hike a lot, just want to say the 2nd part of the hike is much more challenging than the 1st. Need to be very careful on your footing as this part of the track is not maintained and is very steep
Hi, very informative and important video. I wonder whether the dashed line from 2:52 is rather the "beeched as" intersection Mountain Bike trail instead of the walking path. I assume the junction you mention is on the lower right hand side, only seen for a very short time. Queenstown Mountain Bike Club may be able to confirm. However, it still makes the point.
Fantastic video. Lovely throwback. However, the 6-8 hours return trip can be misleading for people in a hurry who just wants to squeeze it in. Here's a reference for you: In nice November weather I spent 2 hours and 11 minutes reaching the peak from the bottom of the Gondola and my general shape was in the ballpark of running 10k at just below 50 minutes. I did not run or jog on the way to up to make that time, I just kept a steady march. Bring water og carbs for the refuel.

These videos are EXCELLENT! I climbed Ben Lomond 2 years ago and this one is spot on. Very informative and helpful. Thank you!
Just did this today. Amazing walk.. And a must do walk.

Your films are inspiring me big-time!
Excellent introduction. Approached it today but it was too hot to complete. Next time

These are great! What's the music on this one, please?
Would really like to know the brand of.hiking boots those are at 4:38. Oh, and great videos, thanks!

Thanks! Maybe one day I can make it over your way for some hikes. I will lol into those boots!
can you tell what the soundtrack at 0:10 ongoing is? thank you!
Can we camping and stay overnight on the summit?
Doubt it. Will be very exposed to heavy winds and cold temperature
CAN we bring drone up?
No. You need a permit. They hand them out for filming
