    I really enjoyed this video. My friend and I did a kayak camping trip on this beautiful river and this has made me want to go again. We're not very experienced hikers so I don't think our journey will be as adventurous as yours! Thanks for sharing Kate.

      Oh so great to hear. It’s an amazing river. Plenty of spectacular sections that’s for sure. Hope you get back out there.

    What a memorable adventure you all had. Love the laughs and seeing you all enjoy the natural beauty. That rain on the hike out would have been so welcome.

    Stunning hike! That deep river gorge is a real beauty.
    When you said "I love a rocky outcrop. That's why I hike" I was nodding along furiously - me too!

    Great trip and looked like you had a lot of fun! Lovely part of the world there and I share your reticence about water crossings. Always tricky for me, but it’s good to be cautious in reckon. Thanks for taking us along.

    Cool trip and film Kate. A good balance of adventure and fun. The bush on the climb out was especially pretty. I'm with you in being a little bit shit scared of river crossings.

    • @KateGrarock
      @KateGrarock  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      How good was the bush there. Yeah I guess it’s respect hey. Like I’m a good swimmer but with all the gear I feel so vulnerable. Probably why I was pushed outside my comfort zone on a recent hike in a deep gorge with lots and lots of swimming

    I feel such a sense of (remote) community watching you and your friends who have the same love for the land as I do. It’s so nice to not feel alone. (If you’re ever over in WA and you can get up to Kalbarri, consider doing the Murchison gorge hike - I’d love to see what you would do with it on film!)

    • @KateGrarock
      @KateGrarock  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That’s probably the best compliment I could possibly get. I always hope my videos will give people a taste of the experience. So thanks very much. Funny you should mention that area. I might have a work trip over that way. Let me know if you have any advice. Looks like a cracker of a spot.

    Loved the adventure, the uphill not so much. What did you wear on your feet for the river crossing? Was it just lightweight runners?

    Looks like a great trip, I've not hiked that stretch of a river for a while and you've inspired me to want to get back out there!
    That hill on the way out though is a grind, maybe I'm not so inspired for that part! 😉

    • @KateGrarock
      @KateGrarock  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Haha yeah it’s totally worth it though. The vegetation on the hike out was my favourite.

      @@KateGrarock Hey, love what your doing. Do you think you could ramp up the importance of picking up rubbish and calling your mates out for being grubs in the wild in the first place. Is There a video possibility of who to report rubbish to, or can you burn some rubbish or bury some? Maybe ways to pack out rubbish , extra ziplocks maybe how to pack your consumables so you have less rubbish on trail. Otherwise we might as well go hiking at the waste tip. People messing up the bush will get us all locked out of it with gates and no access signs' Loads of people watch and listen to you. Thank you Ray. Again love what you do.

      @@raykinit4701 thanks Ray. Yeah you would think that people visit these places would respect and value nature. It’s a great idea for a vid. Will do some thinking around it. I guess I’m just a bit confused about why the heck it happens. Thanks a lot
