Lucky with the weather. Hope it continues. If shelters were ever considered I guess this campsite and perhaps the Fourways might be the ones. I'm thinking of the simpler types one sees on the NZ trails.
Yeah there weren't many places you could make an unofficial campsite on the range because of the buttongrass. I recall one place a short way on from Bare Mountain (on day 5), but not all that much else.
On this same day I was flying over black bluff on a scenic flight with another you tuber the wandering foxbat! Amazing scenary and black bluff seemed to have the most snow on it. The wandering foxbat channel has some great videos of him flying over the mountains etc. Worth a look.
Yeah I've seen quite a few of his videos! And I seem to recall watching a light aircraft fly over us that day! Was September 28 the day you were up there?
@@LucasChamberlain Haha not surprised! Yes September 28th. Would have been around 2.30pm ish in the arvo. Flew up past mount Roland and black bluff to cradle and barn bluff, then right back over to black bluff again before heading back to Wynyard. Got a real good view on black bluff on the way back.
Enjoying this series of videos mate. I'd definitely heard of the trail being from Ulverstone and it's great to see it in the videos you've made of the walk.
A long but awesome day for you both. That snow looked slow going. A great location for a camp but didn't expect you to have internet connection. Another great video.
Thank you Lucas. Another days hike another beautiful video presentation. Snow is always prettier to look at than walk through it. Those camp sites look great.( better than my backyard in Melbourne atm )
Yeah despite the struggles in the snow, I do look back fondly on most of this day of walking. 🙂 It was definitely a great place to set up camp for the night. 👍
I was about to say it was only you that did the face planting, but then I remembered that drift of snow where I went up my waist and couldn't get out 😂
amazing series so far lucas! have you ever had to set your tent up on snow before? just wondering if it would melt through the tent bottom or not? any tips on snow camping if you have done it. cheers!
Thanks mate! No I haven't actually set up a tent in snow before, which I put down to umpiring (as a result, no real time for multiday winter walks in snow). I don't think it would seep through into the inner, unless the hydrostatic head rating is very low. But yeah, I'm not actually sure, as I've only ever packed up with snow around, not setting up.
You make my days with your videos! I love just coming to your channel and watch your videos and relax. The vibes are always so positive. Keep doing what you're doing please🤗 ❤️ you're welcome on our channel as well! :)
Fancy seeing you here Lucas.
Glad you've found the channel Rowan!

@@LucasChamberlain no worries mate! Definitely am, looking forward to the rest. 👌
A long but awesome day for you both. That snow looked slow going. A great location for a camp but didn't expect you to have internet connection. Another great video.
Thanks! Yes it was a bit of a surprise to have coverage there, given it was semi sheltered. I certainly wasn't complaining though!
Thank you Lucas. Another days hike another beautiful video presentation. Snow is always prettier to look at than walk through it. Those camp sites look great.( better than my backyard in Melbourne atm )
Thanks and no worries! Yeah I know what you mean, it's beautiful to look at, but ploughing through it is very draining.
Been waiting for this, thanks for making the Sunday nights a bit better 👍
No worries! Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Looked like a great walk with a great spot to camp at the end.

As always Lucas thank you for sharing your adventures. I had a wonderful morning doing the Bastion cascades yesterday :)
No worries! Happy to hear bastion Cascades was a good outing! The weather was quite nice up north yesterday which would have been a bonus.
That lake looked like a nice place to camp. Still lot of snow to walk through. 😁 Lucky you could camp away from the snow! 😀 Have a great day! ATB
You're right, Paddy's Lake is beautiful, and it would have been nice to spend more time there. Thanks!
What an adventure this epic walk is , you make it look easy Lucas . I’d love to see you go all the way through to lake St Clair 😊
Maybe one day... 😉 unfortunately our trip finished at cradle on this particular adventure.
This vid is definitely not representative of the amount of face planting that happened!! What a great day it was!!
I was about to say it was only you that did the face planting, but then I remembered that drift of snow where I went up my waist and couldn't get out 😂
love your work m8.
These videos should be shown in our schools, show the kids what they can achieve, and what Tasmania has to offer.
Thanks mate!
Haha if the curriculum requires the showing of these videos, then why not! 😉
@@LucasChamberlain my kids love your walks lol, and they adults

That’s one of my favourite walks I have seen you do so far!
That campsite is also my fav. What’s a view of Cradle 😍
Yeah it was a pretty great place to finish the day! We were quite fortunate to have the weather on our side that day. 🙂
Terrific stuff Lucas... cant wait for tomorrow’s installment 🙂
Thanks John!
You know what i want to say ⛷️
Awesome!

Thanks!
Another great video. Have you ever watched some of the hiking videos by Kraig Adams. Some of his videos are very similar to yours in style
Thanks Sam!
Don't think I have, but I'll check it out when I get back home later tonight.
@@LucasChamberlain They are quite good. Mind you as a professional youtuber, he needs to make them good to get paid haha
