@@alc6799 I think the rescue litter was permanent (not 100% sure), If recommend bike gloves etc for the ropes just in case, helmets were providef by the tour operator. I'd love to go back to Lord Howe island. Mt Gower can only be done with an official guide. 🏝️

@ And how did you and others ( if you knew)/ feel the next day!

@@alc6799 us three were fine, just a little sore, took it easy the next day, we were used to bushwalking etc though, Mt Gower would be tough for anyone unfit, there are easier walks & sights on LHI to cater for everyone 🤟

@@ecopennylife Thanks for the warning. I will be there for a month in May staying at Hideaway Apartments. I am 71 so not sure if the climb is a possibility for me though I am fit. Did the operator give you a list of things to bring or fitness requirements?

@@alc6799 just have to be fairly fit & able to do a walk with a lot of ascent. Need to bring own lunch, water, wear clothing suitable for the day, raincoat in pack & good shoes etc. There was an option to stop half way and wait for the rest to return if the going was too tough (depends on tour,) we went with Jack.

@@alisonspurway8486 just a little tired the next day. If I ride the penny on the 3 day trip I'd only have to do the gravel road once, that was the hardest part 😋

@@Fn_AerialThe2nd_Rl yes in QLD, hope I didn't slip up & say NSW 😋

@@MRUK330 each click advances the gel by one, start with the first one with the dispenser sticking out the most from the handle, after about 6 clicks (6 times), the refill will be used up and be almost all the way in the handle.

@@nathanjsimpson cheers, it's a tough challenge especially mountain biking it 😅

@@outie555 thanks for the tip

@@Jason-iy6nb yeah, we did the Hawkesbury NSW course. Obstacles look similar for this year, maybe the tyre wall on the website is new this year. Still worth doing, I'd recommend camping there the night before you do it then doing the full 10km course the next day starting early like 8.30am or 9am wave. If you travel & do it later in the day like we did in 2022, you'll have a queue at each obstacle & it will take ages 😎

⁠hey thanks so for the reply that advice about early session is gold👍 it’s been a little difficult for anyone to give some first time advice on tru-grit A few more questions 😬 How long “in metres”was the monkey bars? What is the best clothing for it? And is it easy to follow or navigate so you don’t go off course! What was the hardest or most exhausting obstacle? And is there sections where u have to carry a weight while you run? Sorry for so many questions 😬

@Jason-iy6nb one or two sections have a sandbag to carry (approx 15kg?), easy to navigate - volunteers & signs along way, think there was a map at start for us, take a photo of it, wear old tshirt & shorts & older running shoes, lots of mud & water on course, monkey bars approx 10m long, horizontal traverse ropes hardest for me, obstacles can be skipped if deemed too difficult, go for it, you'll have fun ! P.S. handy to wear fingerless cycling gloves for ropes & monkey bars etc

@Cheesypanda35 time 27min51sec for the 5km. Frontline runners probably about 20 mins. parkrun is about doing your best run/jog/walk in an inclusive community, not a 'race' as such. Everyone is welcome to the worldwide parkruns whether they are fast, slow, beginners or serious athletes 🤟

@@christopherbarnett5003 the Shellharbour parkrun has beautiful beach views, hotter & more humid than my hometown Bathurst ☺️

Thanks for supporting the channel, Happy New Year, the Woodford one is better to do on a cooler day, maybe late February onwards next year :)

@@alisonspurway8486 Merry Xmas to you too, there is a longer Xmas video if you've got time to watch it 🥰

@ecopennylife I'll have a look

@@RADAdv346 Tree Hereford St, rest Eleven Mile Drive, Duramana Road & The Bridle Track Bathurst NSW ☺️

@@outie555 merry Xmas 🤗

@Petercopter2.0 Copeton looks great, I'll give it a look if I get back to Northern NSW 😎

@@ecopennylife it’s so big

@@mysterious_MK thanks for watching, it was fantastic having Ironfest return again in 2024 🥰

@@nathanjsimpson AWD should be ok as long as it's not muddy from rain. Turon river level needs to be low (no recent rain). Mt Forester with AWD was ok.

Thanks @ecopennylife

@@kimgee4821 thanks for watching ☺️

@@tassie7325 thanks for watching, mower still running great. I would recommend to NOT use on damp grass as the clippings will be sticky & performance not as good.

@@ecopennylife Thanks. This means it probably wont work for me. We get some spells where it rains on and off for several days and the grass needs to be mowed between rainfalls, often when it is still a bit damp. If I wait for the rains to end and the grass to dry then the grass will be extra long and will cause other problems I guess. Thanks again. I think you have saved me a regrettable expense.

@@KeyserTheRedBeard thanks for watching, I'm doing pushups & pull ups with a bar hanging from doorway, probably need to do weights as well plus more practice with grip strength to grab those ninja hanging balls 😅

@@possumpete Thanks, I'll practice my dance moves for next time 😅 Pleasing to see cyclists, runners & walkers out and about.

My way is more elegant & safer !!!!

Good observation, happy with the concertina doors so far ☺️

@@blindlygaming77 cheers, my legs have recovered now 😅

@@63off Good tip, I'm still a beginner sharpener 😋

@@ecopennylife the sharpener leaves a bur on the edge which folds over very easily and can make the knife blunt. The steel removes the bur.
