This makes me miss South Africa so much! Thank you for sharing this video with us. We would love to visit the Midlands some day. The Howick falls are INCREDIBLE!!!
Wow I have never seen Howick Falls looking so good. Karkloof falls look amazing. Lots of memories from an awesome weekend spent cycling the trails there. Loved this video
I would love to see more of Hilton Town, especially the Quarry. We visited people there in the early 2000s and I fell in love with it. The drive between Hilton and Maritzburg was sooo pretty, I would drive it... just because...
I absolutely love your new hometown! Those waterfalls are spectacular! You have so many great nature options from the nature trails to the lake. to such amazing views! Glad you are all settled in and able to enjoy it!
Glad you showed Karkloof falls, just bear in mind that Guy Falcon fell to his death off its edge in pursuit of a butterfly 🦋 and now there is a house named in his memory at Hilton College.
Hilton was my home town before we moved to Melbourne, then Perth, then Bay of Plenty and now Cromwell in NZ’s South Island. I will always miss those forests and Midmar Dam
@@BeingBedingfield We left SA 13 years ago and moved from Perth to BoP 6 years ago, then down to South Island 3 years ago. I also used to run with Hilton Harriers 😊
Wow, the Howick waterfall looks impressive, I swear no matter how many we find around the world we’re still amazed by them! Love the coffee cups in the mushroom farm too, looked really nice! Love Craig’s little happy dance with beer, food and sand! We’d be happy too! Love the aerial shots of the trail 😍
Wow how lucky are you guys to live there now! Such a beautiful area! 😍 Looks like a lot of fun, nature-y things to do. So many beautiful waterfalls around you! We'll definitely need to live somewhere with lots of good hiking trails nearby someday. That seems so nice
Thanks truly guys as my family live in Howick and I’m visiting from the UK in November you video Was truly helpful like all your other ones including western cape.
Welcome to the Midlands Craig & Chantz! i been living here the last 54 years and dont worry it not that far away from the coast, You can stil be at the beach in 45minutes, lol thats if the N3 not busy! The nice thing about the midlands is, that it not to far from the Drakensberg and not far from the coast! Enjoyed watching this video and Your footage of the Karkloof is stunning!
Thanks Theo. We are really enjoying the Midlands mist. You are correct about the beach still being close. We will keep visiting Durban and then also enjoy our new Midlands adventure😁
@@BeingBedingfield yes the mist in summer up in Hilton can get very bad, i once walked around the Hilton hotel and could not find the entrance it was so misty lol, Yes the mist the moist that move inland from the ocean and then get stuck around the hills around Hilton, summer the worse, You wil notice it mostly happen in the afternoons!
Hey guys your new home area looks sooo beautiful ❤️ I love that you are getting out, exploring and taking us with you. Being so close to the best roastery in the country 😍😁🙌
The Karkloof trail through the forest to the waterfall was so pretty, and the view of the waterfall 😍 I also like that it is very shaded. Great episode you two 😊
Really enjoyed your latest video. 👍 Awesome guys! So many nice things to see and experience. How much we love your beautiful country. 🤩😍❤ I think I have a brilliant idea where we can meet and enjoy a good coffee in august! 😉☕☕
The dinner and wine pairing is right up our alley - I love those experience. The scenery looks amazing there. I love seeing around your new hometown and those waterfalls were incredible! Such a nice picnic at the end too - we aren't allowed to drink here unless it's a designated spot to no mimosa picnics for us. Those monkeys seemed serious!! lol
Last time I was in Howick Falls in 2011 - it was just a trickle. Locals were doing their laundry atop. Had some nice pies at a nearby shop. The bar was closed because "some locals can't handle themselves" - according to the owner. 🤣Edit - in 2011 - walking in the country along the river was not a good idea. Local kids would spot you and soon local teens would come to take your stuff - or worse.
Wow Howick falls are looking amazing, really beautiful there! Old Mushroom Farm seems like a very cool place to visit as well, glad you enjoyed your coffee there :) It seems like a great trail to enjoy the nature. Your new hometown has so much to enjoy! What a peaceful picnic by the water, really enjoyed this video!
Always love the bloops! Thank you for taking us through your amazing new backyard!!! WOW, the falls were incredible! Excellent drone shots too! Too funny the monkey on your car…not sure we’d ever see that in the USA! ~Fabulous video guys! ~Cara 💕
Hi Melissa, thanks so much for subscribing, so exciting that you’re starting your own channel 🤗 if we were still in Hilton, we would’ve loved to meet up, but we’ve emigrated to New Zealand. You’re welcome to send us a DM on Insta or FB if you need any help or pointers 😊
