- Fat Bikepacking the Sandy Cape track.
West Coast of Tasmania.
Starting at Camp elsewhere riding the coast track to Dartys corner just past the town of Temma.
Then, I joined the Cape track to Kenneth Bay and returned
Three days, Tiger snake, birds, and Wallaby's.
Glad to see you back mate. As always thank you for taking us along to beautiful places on earth.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my pleasure.🙂
Awesome Chris! 👏 👏 👏 And the cherry 🍒 picking great
Thanks. Yes, cherries, we're good. Pick up my new Sony alpha a1 when I get back to the mainland. Can't wait to see what I can do with this.🙂
Great to see another adventure from you👍🚲👌
Thank you. Only short but a start at least.🙂
@@ChrisRishworth Wow, very nice camera👌Cherry picking must have been good😉Looking forward to more great wildlife shots👍👍
WOW, what a coastline, not many people been there i bet, but that relentless wind, yikkes. Great camera mate.
Thanks. Great to see, and very few people were there. I'm definitely going back next year.

Mate you have no idea how many people do sandy cape trips on the regular 😅
Welcome back, will watch the video today. Tassy tiger snakes are pretty special. I encountered one fat one plonked in the middle of the track on King Island. Would not move for us. Very thick scrub either side of the track meant we just waited for it to move.
Thank you. Yes, the tiger and I both moved fast when we were close.🙂
Some of my favourite country
Thanks
Fantastic video of a magnificent wilderness. Spectacular! Still haven’t fixed that squeaking bottom bracket though. I only heard it for 30 minutes but Between that and the wind, I think I’ve gone a bit loopy. Maybe that’s what I need to go adventuring like you……
Thanks. Great place except for the wind. I have fixed the bottom bracket on a number of occasions. First bit of moisture, and it starts again. Big annoyance to me for sure.
Nice one.
Thanks.
Congrats on returning.
I've always been waiting for your very great video.
Thank you. There's definitely more to come cheers, Chris.
Thanks for posting Chris - another niteresting trip. Sony A1 ? Wow !
Thanks, Mark. Yes, A1 with 100 to 400 mm G lens and 14mm ultra wide G lens. Should be able to get some good footage with this camera.🙂
You mean 100-400 G MASTER lens - I just got this lens myself about a month ago for my A7Siii - you will love it. I look forward to seeing your carry for it on the bike.
@Mark Harwood Yes, do you have the tele converter 1.4 or 2 that a must for me. Yes going to get the Lauf Carbonara forks to take the bumps out with large front handle bar bag. Still lots to do. You must enjoy your camera as well. Just Mt biked to Montezuma falls Tasmania.
Don't have the tele converters though might consider in the future. Probably the 1.4 so as to maintain autofocus performance and less light loss. The clear image zoom in the camera is usable in 4K video shooting.
Miss your videos Chris. Hope all is good with you. Stay safe. (Henry)
Thanks, Henry. I do have a knee problem, which is very annoying. It won't stop me just the same. A new camera is waiting for me when I get back to the mainland. Sony alpha a1 with two good lenses. This will make the quality lot's better. Cheers, Chris.
What a great video! Well done. 👍🏻 My most favorite pic was @ 26:08 of you riding on the beach!
Thank you. I will be back here next year with a pack raft to do the whole section and a water filter.🙂
Hey! Nice video, I enjoyed it, be careful when listening to parks down there, they can be corrupt or straight up liars
Thanks. Yes they did give me bad advice.
Always great to see a new video from you Chris !
4 months of cherry picking sheesh ! We get a couple of weeks here in Britain, did you have to travel across Australia as the season moved to get such a long harvest ?
Thanks, Ian. Yes, 4 orchards starting Hillston NSW then Wangaratta Victoria, then NSW Wombat, then Ross Tasmania. Cheers Chris.
Nice video, I enjoy your adventures. What is the squeak from your bike? Is it the bottom bracket?
Thanks. Yes, the bottom bracket. I clean it starts again with the smallest amount of water. Very annoying.
Great video. Your bar ends give me ocd
Thanks.
Great stuff Chris! My mother in law was staying with us at Christmas and I mentioned that I’d love to ride western Tassie. She said “You’ll never do that!” So needless to say now I’m 100% determined to do it! This video was even more great inspiration. Hey by the way, are Muru still selling bikes? They don’t reply to my emails and I’d love to buy a 29’er from them…
Thank you.
Yes, they didn't respond to my email either.
Area59 rings a bell or something similar they go by now. I'm not sure exactly what they are doing. There's still the owners group on Facebook, which you can get some answers to. Best of luck, cheers, Chris.
@@ChrisRishworth thanks Chris. I guess if I can’t raise Muru I could always go for a Bombtrack. All the best with your adventures, they really inspire me. Ride safe and all the best with the knee!
Love seeing your videos mate. Been looking forward to them. I lived over in Hobart for a couple of years and traveled all over the island. By the way how do you find the Jones bars on your bike. I have a 27.5 mtb and thinking of fitting some for my touring?.👍
Thanks. The Jones are good, but I probably prefer touring bars for the positions you can push up hills with. Jones have a great place to attach bags to. That's the main reason I'm keeping them.
@@ChrisRishworth yep I put tracking bars on one of my mountain bikes to tour and they are awesome. Anyway thanks for the response. Look forward to future videos.👍
You pedal on the craziest terrain, you must have strong legs!
Just low gears, and fat tyres 😃
@@ChrisRishworth 😂🙌
you running tubeless?
No, but probably it would be lighter and better. The reason I have tuffy inserts and I lot's all my gue with a big hole once. Tubeless, I'm tempted to go back to.
@@ChrisRishworth ok good to know, Im in the process of building a fat trike and am running tubes atm I run slime but will have a look into tuffy inserts
