We're out to share with you what it's like to experience some of the great hiking adventures around the world, showing first hand what's it's like to explore nature, culture, and ourselves.
We're not super explorers or professional adventurers. These are accessible adventures that anyone can do for themselves, and we're just here to help show you what to expect.
This is the third rewatch I’ve done. It has become one of my comfort shows. I really am surprised none of the TV networks have picked this up, the production value and effort put in is amazing. I’m planning to start doing sections of the Bib as my fitness improves.
Can you please post a video about what you used on your trek. Food, camping gear, hiking gear, etc. I watched the whole series and left a like on every video :)
I've just watched through the whole series. I wish more people would have left likes on your videos as they were great. I'm wondering if you could please do a video on your pack list, what you used and how you found the items for usefulnes or things you might change?
@GreatWalksoftheWorld thanks heaps. I weigh 220kgs and this video series has inspired me to get out walking and one day do the track, just like she did 😁
Lovely final vlog.what i observe as a follower of you on this walk is that you have become Australuan -yeah,truly.The slowing of your speech,the colour in your sun beaten face,the hat (no corks tho 😅) and the Aussie twang in your now non scandinavian accent.Welcome Sheila,goodday😅
I love that you’re real and raw even the swearing it shows your emotions and how much it all means to you ❤ thank you for being your authentic self 🫶🏽 don’t ever change.
Thank you both for your excellent footage and views of the Bibbulmun. I can only hope to one day walk it end to end but until then I will continue watching your amazing journey ❤ God bless you both!
This video is one of the most informative videos I’ve seen of the Bib! Thank you!! 🙏🏽What an incredible series and beautifully done ❤️ You should be incredibly proud 👏🏽
Thank you so much for this video..... I cried a lot watching what you went through good and bad and the stresses and emotions of being alone etc..... I plan on doing Perth to Albany when my fitness levels are better as Iam 55 and have emphysema..... 😢 But I want to prove to myself that I can do this trek..... Just need to learn the basics of trekking etc..... I need to get alone with God and nature and rediscover myself and who I really am..... God bless you in your future adventures trekking..... Going to miss seeing and hearing you now..... 😢😢😢 Loved every minute of it..... Take care. Jason from Perth
I almost cried when you finished the track, thank you so much for sharing, I start mine for the second time early march, 2 day's in I will be 78, never growing old to be out there, loved your experience, good on you..❤
@@GreatWalksoftheWorld wonderful that you have taken the time to reply, thank you so much, yes I did start back on the track in early March this year, I had finished eternal late 2019 and wanted to do again, unfortunately I got covid on my flight from Queensland to Perth unknown to me, I only got to Pemberton this time on my second eye, will try again next year..
Yes, even in ideal conditions it's a challenge. It needs to either be dry or covered in snow, but for us it was a deep, boggy swamp. The conditions were too severe to cover the distances planned.
the pipe you found with water coming out of it near grey mare hut probably the nicest tasting water I have ever had in my life if anyone looking at this comment section reads this you will not regret drinking that water it is insane.
Please never remove this series from RU-vid. I hope your walking buddy gave you a Great big hug outside Schafer when the emotional tidal wave swamped you ....
I felt for you, I think day two is always the hardest on any hike. I could see you struggling as you walked. It would of been tough walking on those roads and so much better finally hitting a walking trail. Hike your own hike 💕
Wow, I haven't seen you since the Bibbulmun. I recognised your voice before I recognised you. You've lost a ship load of weight. FFS sake if you're walking on the road walk facing the traffic.
Until I became a long distance hiker I never thought I would be able to watch one video, never mind a series on the subject. I have watched plenty in my time now and I rate this series the best I have seen. Everyone involved clearly put a lot of effort into the series and it shows. The drama, tedium, elation, lows and highs, were all captured in a most natural way that articulate clearly what a long distance hike is really like. Special shout out to the cinematography, the editing, and my favourite, the music, which must have been selected with great care. I just loved everything about this series and just want to say thanks for giving me so much joy in my downtime as I prepare for the next big hike.
Hi Caroline, great to see you on another Oz hike! I haven't watched the rest of this trail's vids to see what you thought of this trail yet, but I have to say The Hume and Hovell is my LEAST favorite backpacking trail in Australia. Wait, strike that. I REALLY hated this trail! It started nice enough, but then it just became a series of dreary, pointless, boring road walks. For reference, and just in case someone reading this comment is looking for some hiking ideas for Australia, here is the Australian trails part of my CV, from favorite to a bit less favorite. Bibbulmun, Larapinta, The Great North Walk, The Great South West Walk, Six Foot Track, Cape to Cape. The H&H Walk is all alone on my "Don't waste your time on this trail list".
Thank you! And yes it was soooo heavy. Yeah anything over 20km starts to get super tough - it's mainly all the hours in a day spent carrying a heavy load! But what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger, right?!
Caroline might have been wiped out by this day but it looks like it picked up in scenic quality at least. Some of those earlier days with the bleak logging and road walking did not make the Hume and Hovell look like a very interesting walk at all (had a bit of a laugh at how dispiriting it must've been to arrive at that shelter destroyed by fallen trees), but this shows a lot more promise. Looking forward to seeing weeks 2 and 3 when they are out!
Caroline makes a great video. I’ve got a mate Steve who does these kind of walks and I’m always encouraging him to start a RU-vid channel to share them.
@@htown11465 Awwww, thanks for the luv. We're gearing back up to get into it after Covid took the wind out of our sails. H and H was an old walk I thought I'd share in the mean time.
@@GreatWalksoftheWorld We are all looking forward to your next hikes. I absolutely loved the Bibbulmun series. I’m doing it sectional and like to rewatch after each section I do 😊
WOO! Just yesterday I was rewatching your Kiandra to Kosciuszko videos as I prepare for my own attempt this Summer (fire gods willing) and was lamenting a lack of new Great Walks of the World videos. I thought the worst when I realised your website was gone too, so I'm very glad to see this episode. I am a repeat viewer of your Bibb series (to me, the gold standard for RU-vid hiking series) and y'all were a big inspiration for my own switch from blogging to video making on RU-vid! Glad to see you back!
Woohooo!!! Been dying for the next adventure! I keep rewatching your Bibbulmun series in anticipation of my own E2E starting, looking forward to the Hume & Hovell series
@@GreatWalksoftheWorld thank you so much! Hoping to kick off April 1st and be mid way by my Birthday on the 15th 🤞🤞 Still watch your Bibb series on almost a weekly basis, absolutely love it! Really enjoyed the H & H series also
Thanks for this inspirational journey, I am new to hiking and really want to complete the Bibblumun, would you share where you posted things to, I see you collect packages in each town… hiw did you know how much to send, lol there is alot of planning for a newbie
Yes, walk the track. It's amazing and anyone can do it. We posted to our pre-booked accommodation, and contacted them as a courtesy. You can also send to some visitors centres. How much to send depends on what type of food you eat and how much you plan to buy in town (some towns have more than others, while some have nothing), and how many days each section will take. It does take a fair bit of planning to be prepared. Others just wing it. Best advice is to contact the Bibbulmun track foundation for their advice, or jump on the facebook pages.
Nicely done. I enjoyed your Bibb series. The "why long distance hiking" is a discussion that pops up with some frequency and it's not a simple question to answer well. So many aspects to it.
The reason can be very different for everyone and hard to explain. I think there's a saying that goes: if you need to explain why you do it then they won't understand the answer.
