I loved watching this. Grief, I wish I knew about this kind of stuff when I was young ! Good on you. So impressive.
You are a real inspiration Imogen keep on smiling and clocking up the miles, your videos give a much more realistic view of the terrain and its difficulty and are going a long way in helping me to make up my mind as to what and where my next walking experience might be when i next visit my family in Australia.
That you for the beautiful words! Best of luck with your future travels…there are so many beautiful hikes in Australia
Thanks for very much doing this video so I could see GPT
Cool another adventure.
Well done for doing it in 6 days! On my bucket list now!
Thank you so much!!
I'm with you with rats, they freak me out and a fear when camping at night. Cant believe how tough you are walking thru the creeks with your shoes on. I take mine off when crossing them. Love watching your videos and hope there's more to come :)
Thank you again!! Yeh my feet weren’t to great after that hike. I don’t think they were dry once ahaha
Great video- enjoyed watching it. Those camp shelters are quite swish
Great video and very inspiring. Thank you 😊
Sitting here currently at djardji-djawara after seeing and getting inspo from this video (though I ended up doing 7 after I saw some photos of werdug and needed to make that a definite for sunset and sunrise 😅) and your log is the first page that opens! Ha.
Thanks for the video and inspo!
I also followed your GOW a couple of months ago 👌🏻
I always love how much detail and care you put into your videos. I have one friend who is interested in hiking, but you inspire me to do it alone one day....one day :)
Thank you again!!! And it is very beautiful to be able to share hiking with others
Wow you pushed through that like a boss Imogen! thank you for sharing those beautiful scenes. I'm hiking the GPT this October with a couple of friends so this footage is great to get an idea of what we can look forward too.
Thanks Shane! Good luck with your hike : )
Thanks for the vid! I’m excited to do the last 2 nights of the trail this weekend 😊
Thanks!!! Hope it went well 😁😁
I didnt realise you could hike it in fewer days than parks get you to book for! Or did they change it after yours? Looking at the pace you are doing (and I've done the Larapinta as a fastpack in 5) I'm gonna be cooling my jets a long time in camp each day - especially as I like to start in the pre dawn!) and damn those school kids! Im going in the peak of summer (not ideal but such is my schedule) so hopefully no kids out there!
Another good video.
Will have to add this walk to the “to do list”
Thank you!
Thank you! Sure do : )
Hey me and my brother done the great Ocean walk a few months ago and are planning on doing the peaks trail soon as well.
Love the videos keep them coming 🤙
You are very inspiring 🙂 I think the “TV Box” you mentioned was a Trig point used for surveying purposes 🙂
Thank you very much! Also good to know I was wondering : )
So good, killed ittttt
Thank you so much!!
Hi Imogen. Please post another adventure soon! Just did Mt Rosea today. Don't know how you can do double legs.
Was wondering the same thing. Kudos on doing it in 6 days. I noticed in some of your earlier videos you were wearing boots but are now seem to be wearing trail runners. How have you found the transition and what sort of weight were you carrying at the start of the hike, considering you carried all your food ? One more question is how are you filtering or treating your water?
Wow! Great job. Let me know if you want to have a go at the wild Nadgee wilderness down over the NSW/VIC border to Mallacoota.
Thank you! I have actually wanted to do the wilderness coast walk for sometime, however it has been closed for numerous reasons the past few years.
@@ImogenBall This was a bit of a challenge to get to after the fires went through, but it was worth the view. ruclips.net/video/f5ZTW-cqeac/видео.html
Well done! What size backpack and make?
And what was your rain jacket (brand) please.
I am starting out and want to get the right gear.
Thanks
how much did you end up paying for the whole trip ? and how much for the shuttling ?
Great video. How did you go about booking the campsites as you were skipping half of them and not following the “official” itinerary?
Hey Graham! I ended up booking the entire trip as that was the only option. I then combined the shorter days together. It was quite easy for me as I didn't come across any other GPT hikers, most likely because it was the middle of winter. It's more expensive per night, however I didn't want to make the time to do it over 13 days as a solo hiker. The only thing is in summer i'm not sure how'll busy it will be : )
@@ImogenBall , Thanks. I figured this was what I would have to do.
Strange way to market the trail though.
Sure everyone is free to walk at their own pace , but I don’t find the idea of spending 13 days hiking for 5 hours or less very appealing.
@@grahamparker8192 Yeh 100% agree! I'm pretty sure they're thinking of changing it once they understand how popular the hike will be. Just who knows when that will be : )
Would also love to know how you went about booking this skipping huts and shortening days spent on trail? Am planning to hike GPT before summer.
Amazing! It is a beautiful hike...in terms of shortening the days I booked the entire hike and then completed the itinerary at my own pace. It was quite easy for me as I didn't come across any other GPT hikers, most likely because it was the middle of winter. It's more expensive per night, however I didn't want to make the time to do it over 13 days as a solo hiker. The only thing is in summer i'm not sure how'll busy it will be... Good luck with it : )
What camera equipment you using to film your hikes ?
I've just been using my phone and go pro
Imogen you got a cute smile
