0 comments
Multiple day hike. Tramping from the alternative carpark start along the river up the mountain towards Holly Hut. From Holly Hut enjoying the views and tramping towards Pouakai Hut. Heading to the Tarns and back for a sunset photo of Mount Taranaki. After a night in a crowded hut back to the Tarns for a beautiful sunrise photo of the Mount. After that back to the hut and tramping towards the next shelter and ending our tramp near the carpark again. Approximately 24/25 km of hiking. Moderate to difficult hike. Mainly dirt / muddy tracks, a very steep ascent in the beginning and lots of stairs (!!!) after the swamp and the next day before Maud's peak. A steep descent near the end through a wonderfully rich jungle forest. Great weather with not a lot of wind and not to cold for the time of year. All in all beautiful views and a challenging walk.

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
