Milford Hi there
thanks for reading the blog and glad you enjoyed it!
Although I must admit I didn’t do Milford justice, I whined too much ;).
It was just amazing and if I had a chance to do it again tomorrow I would! We hiked last year in November - amazing weather for the first 2 day's and then the heavens opened. But some rain is a great thing to have on Milford as you get to see some incredible waterfalls, alongside having wet feet of course. I didn’t do any training and still made it, so you'll have no worries there - in fact Milford was what got me addicted to hiking in the first place. One piece of advice I will give though, the sandflies are very bad on Milford - in fact the worst I've seen in NZ, 80% deet did not stop them from biting me, so be prepared to cover up with clothes, especially at night. May I ask if you’re going to be hiking with the DOC or by private guide?
Also, if you get the chance to take a boat ride out into Milford Sound - go for it! Lovely blue footed penguins, seals and dolphins galore - alongside some incredible waterfalls (if you’re lucky enough to be out there when it rains - YES I cant say it enough, rain is a good thing!!
Speak soon x Dini
Thanks for the info Hi, thanks for your blog, i'm looking at doing the Milford Trek with my partner and his dad and I really enjoyed reading your blog. Can I ask what month you did you walk in and how much you trained before the actual trek?
Thanks again
my little girl is home Hi everyone, Nadines Mum here, what can I say I have my little girl home in one piece.
I have enjoyed reading about the exploits of Nadine and Jaimie and looking at the wonderful pictures but believe me I am absolutely over the moon to have them both home safe and sound.
I envy all that they have done and wish I had the chance to do it too, still I have had my moments and I am happy they had theirs.
Enough of my ramblings, welcome home you 2 IHEGDL hugs in person now. xx
Well done you! Wow! you did the milford sound track! I really wanted to do that (for bragability value) but we didn't book in advance so we didn't really have time to wait around. Sounds like you had an awsome time, despite the pain. And i completely understand your hate of sandflies. Hope you're having a good time.
