Great video Gordon and Miki!! Manning Park is such a nice place. So many nice trails and lakes! Really like the music in the video. Was there today and went for a dip in the lake.. it was so nice. Safe travels
Beautiful country! Cool bridge on the paddle. At the summit, I think I would have had the urge to spin in a circle and sing "The hills are alive..." ;)
I also thought my packraft had a slow leak and was driving me crazy trying to find the leak. But i learned these tips and sure enough no leak, enjoy your vids thx Tempering your boat. Inflate your boat as tightly as possible, by mouth, for the best performance. You cannot over-inflate an Alpacka raft by inflation bag or mouth. Place the boat in the water for a few minutes to cool air inside, then top boat off again by mouth so it will remain firm while you paddle. If a fully inflated Alpacka is left outside in direct sunlight, the air inside may expand. Periodically vent the boat through the mouth-valve. Too much internal pressure may damage the seams. Likewise, never use a source of compressed air to inflate your Alpacka raft to high pressures: the boat is only designed for the mouth and bag inflation.
Pat M thanks for your comments and the packraft tips! And unfortunately we lost the valve cover in the process, but Alpacka was quick in sending me another plus a spare.
Gina Brown thanks for the question...and it was 20 k round trip. No crowds, and always have the summit to ourselves here. We did see perhaps 6 hikers on the way but they all ventured off elsewhere. Also a couple backpackers heading in on our way out.
Another one that I loved! Eight minutes of blissful watching - just what I needed to get my mood right. Thank you for sharing!
One of our favorite places and not too far away...so glad you enjoyed!
Stunning!
Adrian Hockey thanks for your comment and we agree. One of our favourite areas!
Hi Gordon, can you provide me with the name of the classical piano music played towards the end of this brilliant video. Many thanks.
The piano music is Bach's "C Major Prelude", downloaded from TH-cam's audio library. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks again for your comments!
Hike'n RV Ah yes from the Well Tempered Clavier. Many thanks Gordon, looking forward to following your adventures, Best regards.
Adrian Hockey and your kudos truly go to Miki...she adds the music and edits!

The 20K was it round trip or just to the top?
Awesome views and no crowds, not even other hikers, thanks for sharing!!

Hike'n RV If 20K one way, I was going to ask if you brought along a tent for overnight stay LOL.
