So cute! That butterfly hitchhiker and Matt pretending to eat it…❤😂
Best quality Victorian hiking videos around!! Keep up the good work!
Aww thanks so much! and thanks for watching! 😄
Very enjoyable videos and really well filmed !
flying to australia in november and will be hiking this path, im staying with parents in colac
Great video, Mount Bogong is one of my favourites 👏 the Vic high country is so beautiful!
Thanks Katelyn! We are so lucky that its not really that far for us to make a trip to the high country! The moment you get above the tree line on Bogong was so cool! 😄
Loved watching this! I felt some flashbacks coming my way when you went down the staircase spur haha. Such a beautiful clear sky too!
I need to take you on my hikes, you really capture everything so clearly!!
That's probably as close as I will ever get to seeing the top, the campground you started from is much more my speed these days, Ha Ha Ha. Love your work, thanks for the video.
Haha yeah the campground was in a good spot! Makes it more enjoyable to break up what would of been an exhausting day hike! Thanks for watching, glad I could show you the top haha :)
I grew up there in 60s did that hike up the spur at 10 also chased Brumbies in 70s congratulations on your fine hike 36deg that’s tough
Well done on conquering the Bogong summit! I did this in Feb and it is one tough hike. Doing it in 36C heat must have been brutal. We ascended via the Staircase and the plan had been to camp out at Cleve Cole Hut after doing the summit but my hiking buddy wasn't able to summit due to exhaustion so I summited on my own and we camped back down at Bivouac Hut campsite instead. Those views once you get up above the tree line are breathtaking. Would love to do it again someday as part of another hike in the high country. Great vid of your trip!
Thank you! Can tick it off the summit list now hehe. Yeah we actually met two people along the way that had come from Cleve Cole hut and they told us to go there because it was nice. We stuck to our original plan but funny you mention it as well! Its a shame your buddy didnt make it all the way to the top but hopefully he enjoyed some of that above the tree line view too!!
Looks way tougher than when I did it in Spring Snows of '82. Up & down staircase, 1/2hr sleep due high winds all night. Lol I recall eating rice bubbles for breakfast looking down on Mt Beauty. Kewl.
"The pains may last a few days,week. But the Glory of Achieving Last FOREVER.
Wonderful mountain
Good series of hiking vids. Inspirational. I am using these for ideas for my 2023 VIC trip.
Thanks so much! Vic is certainly spoiled for choice when it comes to hiking trips.
This hike looks awesome, great vid. Around this time last year I did the 2 night Falls to Hotham walk, might have to make my way back to the high country over the summer for a few more hikes!
Thank you! The falls to Hotham walk is on my to do list, we will swap. You do Bogong and i'll do Falls to Hotham haha 😄
Love this vid, very helpful in giving me a good idea what the climb up was going to be like. Thank you for sharing.
So glad to hear it could be helpful! Enjoy your hike! :)
Tough going. I love your determination and positivity. Great editing as usual. Cheers from U.K. again.
Aww thank you! Always so nice to get comments regarding positivity haha! Cheerio! 😄
Awesome video Hayley! Don't know if I could do that hike in 36deg temps though, I'd melt into the rocks!! 🥵 But with those views, it'd be worth it. Love the rolling mountains disappearing into the distance... beautiful. I see Matt enjoyed his DIY sanga over the Subway offering he had a while back! 🤣 Another wonderful video production with a great soundtrack as well. Thanks Hayley! 😊
Hahah luckily it got cooler as we went higher, although I must admit I much prefer the hot than the cold! 🌞Oo yes I am so glad we had a clear view once we got above the tree line! hahah that DIY sanga was gone so fast! Thanks again for all your wonderful comments 😀
Keep up the great video creations from an old but not quite defunct hiker. It's amazing what can be achieved at a slower pace these days.
Thanks so much! It sounds like you hold all the hiking wisdom! 😊
Another great video Hayley. We love the Mt Bogong walk, but it is a toughie. Even the descent is hard on the quads. But well worth it.
Indeed, I was at crawling speed by the end. Haha. Thank you 😊
Very excited to do this one my self
It’s a goodin!! Nice to tick off the list 😄
Trekking up the Eskdale spur in deep snow is even tougher!. Snow shoes , crampons or skis with skins don't make it any easier or less of a slog.At least in winter it is not so hot.. The other main routes up Mt. Bogong such as The T Spur, Quartz Ridge, Long Spur , Granite Flat Spur etc. are all must do hikes!.Join the Bogong Club .See the website.I walked up the recut Eskdale spur track from the 4 x 4 car park at Camp Creek Gap in Feb. 2021. The dreaded erosion channel known as THE DRAIN has been by passed. In winter that was hideous!.
Fantastic share and channel here friends well done keep it up
See you again wishing all the best be safe and healthy 👍👍👍
Right back at you! thanks so much! 😀😀😀
I always enjoy the flats while they last hahaha. I wish there were more awesome hikes that weren't up mountains 😂 Gee 36 is no joke to hike in!
Hahah the downhill the following day killed me! Luckily it got a little cooler up the mountain but there was a lot of hidden sweat! 😛
Any chance you know the song playing when you reached the top?
Another fantastic video. I've been thinking about doing this trail. But I dont think my skill or fitness level is up to it. Keep up the great work
Summer made the trail very easy to navigate, and despite being quite hot down below it was good for the summit! But yes, I was very drained by the end of it! I dont remember the uphill very much but I remember the painful downhill! Thanks again Iain 😊
Hayley - The Best hiker for miles!
Haha! Thanks Mark! What a compliment 😋
Nice!! Looks like you had the summit to yourselves 👍 6km and dropped 1200m, my knees are aching just thinking about it 😜 Another great video!!
Yeah there was only 2 other people that came up as we were having a snack on the top! A lot different to the summit of Mt Kosciuszko! Haha my knees are aching watching the footage back! Thanks Ben! 😄
@@settohike You have not climbed Mt. Kosci . until you have smashed out Hannel's spur from Geehi flats to Mt. Kosci. .It is a 1800 M. vertical elevation gain. It is a right mission!
Really good video! Where is the cookware you were cooking dinner on from?
Thank you! :) The pot and stove is from Toaks and the windshield is from Vargo. Both from america :)
Great video. Since you are going to be hiking in NZ for a while, maybe you could connect with Long White Gypsy and do a hiking video there together.
Thank you! ooo I have watched a few of her videos, could be an idea! 🙂
Beautiful...but maybe some information on facilities and where they are on a map?.if you have to book? Price? Who to contact for information?
Thanks for the feedback! I will work on this for both the description and in future videos :)
I can see my tent, I’m famous. Great video!
Hahah! Your tents moment of fame 😋
How does it feel to be on Victoria's highest mountain??? What he wanted to say was..
"Yeah great, I have phone reception again"😉
Hahah nah he was a lot more into it then the video seams 😛Matt has moved to queensland now, so maybe some QLD hikes are on the cards for the future!
@@settohike I know I'm just having fun ☺👍
Where did you get your snake guard?
The ones I got were from this site, www.backpackinglight.com.au/extremities-extremities-tay-gore-tex-gaiter.html Although it says they are no longer in stock. But any outdoor store would have some kind of them :)
@@settohike thanks :)
