Running horses are something else. There's such a wave of emotion coming up when I see this. It's just such a powerful image. Thanks for capturing that, Tim.
Thanks for these awesome videos Tim. I'm a Sydney local and I'm discovering so many great rides in the snowies and Barrington Tops areas by watching your channel. Keen to get the gravel bike out there on some Multi day trips. Thanks for the effort you go to put these vids together!
Cheers mate. It seems there’s a few good rides out there and it’s so hard to know what works. I love playing with cameras so documenting the rides I do gives me something to film, but also helps others when planning. It’s win win 😂 So thanks for your kind comment, it’s these that make me want to keep filming. Cheers!
@@advanturest I'm a new fan and loving your work, it's taking me a while to get through all the old ones, but there are some crackers back there. Some I definitely wont even try ha ha!!
Only came across youre channel the other day, super vids. You do the same thing I do here in Scotland in fact Im going off this weekend to do some trails and bothy's. We have mountain shelters here open to anyone called bothy's. They seem much like the huts in youre vids but are usually stone buildings, previously occupied by shepherds and the like. I also use a 1990's MTB, they are super bikes, I bought another one a few months back, a nice Specialized rigid, what a bargain at 90 quid, been sitting in a garage for 25 years, super bike. All the best Im going to have to watch all the stuff you have on the Tube.
Thanks mate. Scotland looks like an amazing place. It’s actually somewhere I’d love to ride one day. I watched this video below and I love how moody the scenery is. It can often be hot and dry here which can be pleasant but for the camera I’d love a bit of moodiness 😂 Saying that it’s forecast for a lot of rain this weekend, maybe I should go out as well and embrace it. Genuinely got me thinking now! Garage find 90’s bike sounds great, I love them 😀 Enjoy your ride this weekend 👍 th-cam.com/video/P2NPK67c9lM/w-d-xo.html
Definitely do it. It’s such a nice spot and not too many hills like other Alpine areas. Plenty more huts to see too. I can’t wait to get back down there. In Fact I can’t wait to go anywhere, Sydney lockdown is ………. 😂
Awesome video mate, I wasn't 100% sold on bikepacking until I watched this. You've inspired me 👍 keep up the great work posting fantastic content like this
Bikepacking is the best! It can be tough at times but so rewarding. You will love it! I can’t wait to get out for another trip! Hopefully the weather is kind and I can get out on another trip this month. Cheers for the kind words 👍
Haha, we’re definitely not known for our ski fields but we definitely have a few of them. Last year in particular we got heaps of snow down in the high country but saying that there isn’t really any proper towns that get regular snow. Definitely no cities get snow. A lot of these huts you can cross country ski out to in winter. I’d love to try it one day.
@@advanturest To be the 'well actually', a few towns do get regular (annual to biannual) snow or sleet, and some cities get snow visible to them (eg Hobart, Canberra), or frequent frosts. However, snow has decreased in commonality, as when it used to occur reliably in many towns (including CBR before the 50s, though not groundcover), it has now turned into a sporadic one. But yes, mainly alpine resort villages and some plateau towns, no major cities. But snow is still more in volume than Switzerland in the Aussie Alps so I'll take that as a win
Thanks mate, It was so nice down there. Looks like I nearly cried after riding with the horses 😂 Just to confirm I didn't, I was just super pumped. And then when it snowed, pure happiness 😃
@@advanturest was meant to go last weekend to Long Plain but talking to the local Ranger convinced us to postpone to mid December. Cannot wait to get up there.
@@80ZX I was there at the start of November and where we were planning on riding was closed because it got covered in snow during the week. Our 2nd idea was a failure because the rivers were up and we couldn’t cross. We ended up going back to long plain and just doing a short little trip. We camped at Hainsworth hut. Some of the tracks were pretty wet. The guys I rode with went for a spin after setting up camp and they said it only got worse. I think they’ve had more snow this week which is crazy. I think December is probably a good option. I’m hoping to upload that trip overnight, if you’re interested in watching it should be live tomorrow. 🤞
@@advanturest awesome, will definitely watch it. Love your work Mate. Yep, the Ranger did say a few tracks where closed and they all should be opened by 14th December, so we are planning to head up the following weekend. Very keen.
Koscioszko NP is a huge place. So much to see there. It can be very hilly but Long Plain seems like a good place to start. I can't wait to get back there after winter.
Great clips mate. Keep it going. Nice to see you get out there without the focus on never ending equipment reviews. Go with with what you've got, but go. Happy trails.
Cheers Marc! You’re so right, if I waited until I had all the right gear I would never get out on the trails. A few mates didn’t come on this trip because of the bad weather forecast! I’m very happy Josh is crazy enough to come with me no matter what the forecast is! The others missed a great trip! And don’t worry, no reviews here, I love bikes but I also love cameras, my goal with starting this TH-cam channel was to get better at story telling and just somewhere to share my footage. I’m surprised how many people have been watching. Its really been inspiring getting nice comments like yours so thank you! I can’t wait for the next one! Fingers crossed it’s soon if I can get out of this Sydney lockdown! Cheers!
Cheers mate, It would be perfect for that. A lot of the camp sites in this area have areas to tie your horse up. Some just big metal hoops in the ground, others have proper fenced off areas. There were some people camping with their horses at Cooinbil Hut Campground when we were there. If your girl has a horse that would be so good 👌
Terrific thanks for The I just finished watching your latest clip Namadgi National Park ACT this ride also looks great except last day is there an alternate route for that day a map for this trip would be great really enjoying your content super keen to start using my retro Cannondale for bike packing keep up the good work
Yeah it was pretty nice, That area is very new to me but a mate wants to head back there soon. I plan to look into some slightly different routes to mix it up a bit. I'll more than likely make a video of that trip but for now I'm not sure about other option. Also in the description of that video I put a ride with GPS link. Its almost identical to what we did but they started closer to Canberra and rode down the road by the look of it. I'll add my loop to google drive and post a link here when its done. I probably wont have time tonight though. Get out on that Cannondale 😀 Cheers
Nice, I think you would get a great sunrise from that hut. I can only imagine how hot it would get out there in summer. It would have been brutal. I definitely like riding more in the cooler months but I’m keen to do some next summer with less gear. I want to try be light weight just once 😂
Yeah dude! Really nice edit, heaps of great shots! Also, trip looked amazing... Although in saying that, glad I didn't go, that snow woulda done me in in my cheapo little tent 😂
Cheers mate, There was a hut 100m away. You could of had a toasty room to yourself 😀 Or you could of done what I did and carry 3 jackets, thermals, T-shirt and flanno. 😂 We will definitely have to do more rides that way when it warms up. there are a heap of other huts to see. Next time you can pick the date 👍
sponsered by SMITHS ??? hahah top video timmy videos keep getting better and better. so jealous i think i need to hang up my headphones to get out more. can you tell us about your gear in the next video what 4 season tent your using etc. and your total weight for the trip would be interesting. peace mick
Haha Nope, and I'm never carrying them again. the horrible noise they made was so hard to edit with. Maybe you can tow a trailer with your gear and do a bush doof for us 😂 Before I went on this ride I was trying to think of a topic to talk about. I decided I would talk about tents because Josh is on his 3rd and I want another smaller and lighter one. Well my plans never really happen when I ride with other people. Maybe I'll have to do a solo ride to have time to chat to myself. The weight for this one was up there again because I took heaps of warm clothes and 5 beers. I knew it was going to be relatively flat so I wasn't that concerned about weight and I wanted to be warm.
I have a GoPro 8 and the audio is straight from the camera. I do have a foam sock on it though which helps with wind noise. I use to have a GoPro 5 and the audio was terrible, the 8 is so much better. You may see a few shots where I had a microphone on. This was a a cheap mic from eBay plugged into an old phone capturing audio all day. It was garbage so I didn’t use it. I think it would have also been a nightmare to find the audio I wanted as each track was about 4 hours long 😂
Hi Dean, How would you like the map? Here is a link to a PDF that show's the route we did. I can also send my Strava link if that helps or a GPX file? Further down in the comments I've already posted it for someone else. I will see if I can tag you. drive.google.com/file/d/1Bi-y4LrWaW42nL0noEl2c8EJG_3-8lSE/view?usp=sharing

He had shorts on for a bit but that sleet Saturday morning sent him to the change room 😂 Speaking of pants, what are the ones you're always riding in? I need some weatherproof long pants. Are yours waterproof?
@@BikesnLikes that’s probably a good option actually. Water proof would get so hot and sweaty. My warm pants I’ve got pack up tiny and having a second pair that can dry easily might be exactly what I need. I might even try find the type that unzip at the knee’s.
I do but I’m not at home at the moment. Here is a link to my Strava you can have a look at. When I’m back at my computer I will upload the full loop we did 👍 strava.app.link/4mABjXUw2gb
@@mushypeacycling I use Garmin basecamp to plan my rides and then I drag them onto my gps. I highlighted each day and then the huts and exported as 1 file. You should be able to see the whole loop? Actually I just opened Garmin connect and tried my file. It does only show the first section. I’ll join all the tracks into one and try again.

Great to see the Raleigh back at it. Nice one.
