Pilgrimage, a spiritual journey, Perth to New Norcia return
My friend Rachel and I had planned to run a 200 mile event in South Australia just after Easter in 2023, however for a variety of reasons changed our plans and decided to run 200 miles on what is a little known track near home called the Pilgrim Trail instead.
It follows a route from the inner city Perth suburb of Subiaco to a monastery town called New Norcia 170 kilometres north, a route walked by Benedictine monks when they set up their community there in 1847. Most people do the pilgrimage hike in sections, over many weeks or months. We decided to try run walk it there and back in six days.
When we looked at a starting date the public holiday of Good Friday made good sense, it meant reaching New Norcia late on Easter Sunday… we hadn’t planned this from any religious perspective, however the spiritual significance of these dates to the Christian church was not lost on me.
One of the things I do is I coach ultra runners, focusing on mindset which includes meditation and mindfulness practices. At one of our weekly meditation focused Zoom meeting we were discussing a talk by Ryan Holiday titled “stillness is the key” which includes a suggestion you have some sort of a hobby. I mused that I had enjoyed my film making as a hobby, but that in recent years I hadn’t come across a subject for a film that had interested me. My friend Simon suggested I had a pretty big event coming up in the Pilgrim Trail run, however I initially rejected it because I didn’t just want to document that journey… for it to interest me it needed to be more than "Rob & Rachel running the Pilgrim Trail."
Two weeks later I attended the local Buddhist temple and listened to a Dharma talk given by Ajahn Brahm. Righ there he gave me the "why" for the run, and the "why" for making this film.
My previous journey runs across Tennessee and across Sumbawa became spiritual experiences. The Pilgrim Trail was to be no different.

Ignore this comment as this is a personal msg for someone For Mel You're my world too 💓 I promise I'll always be honest and faithful to you. So excited for our future together 🤍
Super! Congratulations to organizers!
Wish there was more footage like this. It’s so peaceful
Looks like great fun, but the problem can be the waves wash the dog poop out into the water quicker than you can get it picked up in your poop bag. Would be lots of floaters by end of the day. Yucky condition of a nice swimming beach.
theres a beaitiful ridgeback that is the most energetic of all @Robdonkerslot, its the spitting image of ours, Boodja, who we picked up in albany
I thought I had seen all the LAVS videos. This almost makes me want to do it again - almost. It's good to see my friends from 2020.
Que bellos perritos ellos son angelitos qué Dios hizo para darnos alegria
Nice fun video to watch!! Thank you
Je trouve ça super de voir une plage pour les chiens on devrait trouver ça partout ou ils y’à la mer ça fait du bien pour eux et aussi aux gens c’est un bon moment pour tout le mondes ❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
For a minute I thought this was dog beach in San Diego, CA.
Yep... we were all watching to make sure that the guy picked up his dog's dropping.
What's the FKT unsupported?
I was searching for something happy. What a joy this website is.
I have to put this video on all the time for my dog she loves it "Watch seaside Mai"
❤❤❤
This might be my favorite video on TH-cam. Thank you for making and posting it.
please upload more..my loves this video and how there's no ads
If you posted a different version of this exact video over and over I would subscribe, watch and like every single one! I love having this playing all the time at home
Amazing how all the dogs just get along. Beautiful video. I've been watching with my dog. I got a ultra HD TV and he watches everything now.
Oh oh oh... is the area still like this, and is there a rental property available for one person, one dog? I'm moving.
Still exactly the same Riley
@@knoddie I'm envious. Wish I could afford to leave it all behind and hop a plane...
Thank you for sharing !!
I loveee this!
Awesome.
4 years ago is another era now. I'm happy you have some footage of goodness and that you shared it. I love you guys and Every dog there !
This is my dogs favorite video to watch. Thank you! Where is this beach! Sounds like Aussie land.
The beach is Hillarys dog beach, in the northern suburbs of Perth Western Australia
Thank you so much for recording this video! It’s the best video I have found on TH-cam that is not full of slow motion and music for my dog. It is a good example of dogs behaving well in a natural environment with natural sounds. We are using it to desensitize our, crazy autism, spectrum standard poodle.
perrrrrrfect dog TV! thanks!
Dogs for world leders, now, salvation!
What is the location of this Heaven?

Great video👏👏👏all the dogs get along very well
Thank You Soooooo Much for this video!! it's my best canine friend's favorite 🤗🐾❤️ Really hard finding long form footage of dogs just doing their thing, & the fact it's combined with Ocean sounds as well?! Manifique🌠 🥂
Good video 👍

😂 My favorite part. But, where's the owner to pick up the 💩 ?
Great to see John Price listed in your roster of gratitude.
I miss my dog. Somehow they are the only species i can really relate :,)

.Me encanta el vídeo . Nunca había visto una playa con tantos perros 😃 😁 🦮 🐕🦺 🦮 🐕 🐕 🐕🦺 🐩 Pero no hay tiburones ,por ahí ?
Como disfrutan del mar el ser humano con sus perritos 🤗 😍 💖 ❤️ 🐕 🐕🦺 🦮 🐩 Si en todos los lugares del mundo fuera así ,este sería un mundo maravilloso
Great video ❤️
Beautiful view in Pert Australia
I'm surprised they didn't say don't your knees hurt lol
where's the dog beach.
The beach is in Hillarys Western Australia
This is Zuke’s favorite TV show! We’ve had many dogs and do have other dogs. But I’ve never even known them to even notice a TV screen. But Zuke loves watching “DOG BEACH” on repeat! 😎🐶
One of the best stupid ideas ever!
I can't believe that guy throwing the ball in the water so many times and so far. That poor dog must be tired and that's dangerous. what an idiot
Whats the timestamp
th-cam.com/video/uRZto5zgF78/w-d-xo.html dogs love it
Simple awe inspiring. It’s more than a physical journey. This is a spiritual experience, a connection to hope, transcending suffering and dealing with the business of life. Awesome. Thank you Rob. I’ll start with Albany to Denmark! 😂👍🏾
I love that, too. Thank you very much for sharing.
Bloody awesome!
Absolutely brilliant!! I love this 😊
Yay Mick 💚💚💚
