    Description:
    Embark on the ultimate outdoor adventure with us as we explore the breathtaking beauty of nature! Join me and my two adventurous friends as we hike alongside a mesmerising river, soaking in the tranquility of the surroundings. Watch as we set up camp on a serene sandbank, surrounded by towering trees and the soothing sounds of flowing water.
    Experience the exhilaration as we take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear river, laughing and splashing under the warm sun. And what's better than enjoying a cold beer right in the river, with the mountains as our backdrop?
    Follow us as we rise with the dawn and continue our journey through a vast gorge and picturesque Mountain pass. With every step, we're greeted with awe-inspiring views and endless laughter.

    Cool trip and film Kate. A good balance of adventure and fun. The bush on the climb out was especially pretty. I'm with you in being a little bit shit scared of river crossings.

    • @KateGrarock
      @KateGrarock  3 місяці тому +1

      How good was the bush there. Yeah I guess it’s respect hey. Like I’m a good swimmer but with all the gear I feel so vulnerable. Probably why I was pushed outside my comfort zone on a recent hike in a deep gorge with lots and lots of swimming

    I feel such a sense of (remote) community watching you and your friends who have the same love for the land as I do. It’s so nice to not feel alone. (If you’re ever over in WA and you can get up to Kalbarri, consider doing the Murchison gorge hike - I’d love to see what you would do with it on film!)

    • @KateGrarock

      That’s probably the best compliment I could possibly get. I always hope my videos will give people a taste of the experience. So thanks very much. Funny you should mention that area. I might have a work trip over that way. Let me know if you have any advice. Looks like a cracker of a spot.

    Looks like a great trip, I've not hiked that stretch of a river for a while and you've inspired me to want to get back out there!
    That hill on the way out though is a grind, maybe I'm not so inspired for that part! 😉

      @@KateGrarock Hey, love what your doing. Do you think you could ramp up the importance of picking up rubbish and calling your mates out for being grubs in the wild in the first place. Is There a video possibility of who to report rubbish to, or can you burn some rubbish or bury some? Maybe ways to pack out rubbish , extra ziplocks maybe how to pack your consumables so you have less rubbish on trail. Otherwise we might as well go hiking at the waste tip. People messing up the bush will get us all locked out of it with gates and no access signs' Loads of people watch and listen to you. Thank you Ray. Again love what you do.
