    Such a great hike. Really unique rocks and vegetation not to mention the random duck! Thanks for sharing this one Kate, I hope you’re feeling better so sorry to hear about the passing of your Nan it’s really sad when they go and I can relate to that feeling of it being like a light or magic gone from your days. Take care.

      @@KateGrarock Hi Kate - after new job/covid, I'm starting to get back into looking after myself. I'm not doing much hiking, but I am walking at lunchtimes to get the legs moving again! When the heat dies down, I'm hoping I'll be fit enough to get back out there, without feeling like I'm going to die 😀

    Good video. Can’t go wrong with stainless Mora Pro for about $20. File the spine to create 90 degree edge and you have yourself a great quality and lightweight bush craft/backpacking knife. Any ferro rod should work. I took one off of one of those cheap magnesium strikers for backpacking. Entire set up is about $25. Cheers

    The extra 150 metres was definitely worth it. Fantastic spot. Sorry to hear about your Nanna. Expected or not, there is always a hole left. The other side of the river always looks easier - there has to be a proverb in that!

    Kate, could you PLEASE put the item - river and where you hiked from/to in the description. It makes a MUCH bigger connection with the viewer and lets us know what we are watching. It's gotta help grow the channel much more.

    • @KateGrarock
      @KateGrarock  4 місяці тому +7

      Hey mate I tend not to get specific these days as you never know who you may be sending down a crazy track (eg experience of the person watching) Happy to have conversations via private message. I know this may impact views etc but I think it’s the price I have to live with. I love encouraging people to get outdoors but I’d never want to send the wrong person into an area they don’t have the skills or experience to deal with that location safely. For that reason I only openly name formal trails. Not the off track stuff. Cheers.
