- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- In 2019 we met a Frenchy named Sophie who was walking the 1000km Bibbulmun track in Western Australia.
Stephy joined Sophie for a 4 day section of this long distance hike and from this was inspired to one day attempt an end to end of this epic track herself.
Well now we can say we've done it!
Of all the adventures we've had travelling the world for years in more than 50 countries the Bibbulmun track is by far the most life changing experience.
We really hope you enjoy this video of our hike. It's our longest video to date and Stephy put in countless hours editing this one.
Walking a long distance hike like the Bibbulmun is something that challenges you both mentally and physically and the rewards are beyond measure.
We encourage everyone to try a multi day hike at least once in your life, we promise you won't regret it 😉

Hello friends
We really hope you enjoy this very special video. Walking the Bibbulmun track has been a dream of Steph's for many years. It was one of the most amazing adventures we've ever been on and we are so excited to share this experience with you ❤️
It's our longest video to date and Stephy worked very hard to have this done in a week. From 11 hours of raw footage down to this 45 minute documentary. Anyone that's attempted to edit videos will understand what a mammoth task this is 😳
If you would like to support the work Steph puts in each week please do consider joining us on Patreon, we'd really appreciate your support 🙏

♥️ when things get wrong or tough, please come back to watch this video. Thanks couple!
That video is inspiring. Well done. Great achievement. I had the pleasure of meeting you and Steph at Nerang campsite. At the time I was hiking E2E to Albany with hiking buddy Duncan. My track name was Cumbrian John. Unfortunately we never made it. Duncan forced to pull out at Dwellingup with a fracture in his leg and I was forced to pull out at Pemberton with a fracture to my back!! Go figure. Wasn't to be. Your video has inspired me to really want to finish my E2E. Just need to heal and I will be back out there to complete it. Thank you.
You guys are amazing ☺️💖💖
Weldon this amazing trick
... and after having travelling the world, hiked the longest trails and completed the most difficult tasks life can throw in your way: one of the most precious things in your life is a partner to share all the unseen moments, wiping away your tears, sharing your laughter and holding your hands in the cold, dark nights.... Thanks a lot for taking us with you on this once-in-a-lifetime-adventure of your life!
What an amaizing achievement for you both, I had tears in my eyes as you hugged in Albany. You must feel so proud. Congratulations and hope you walking wounds heal quickly.
31 seconds into the video and I am already in tears!
Toughen up.
@@bertplank8011 nah, I like the way I am ;-)
Who needs Netflix when you can watch this!! Well done both off you!
🥰 thank you 🙏🏻 that’s such a compliment
Magnificent. Magnifique. Magnífico. A standing ovation from the other side of the world. ¡¡PURA VIDA!! Specially for a hidden pearl called Steph.
we're back from Turkey and I nearly couldn't wait for this episode... It is amazing, it is huge - and I mean it in every possible way. I just can imagine, what a huge walk like this is stressing in every way possible. Cool to see, how you motivated yourself - along the whole way to Albany. This video is just amazing - thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you so much mate. Hope you enjoyed beautiful Turkey 😊
I love the video! You got the best support crew ever!
Amazing accomplishment!!! Bravo 👏
I've never been a people kinda person, since you are living most people's dream, it is impossible not to feel your achievements as my own, or your memories as my own. I am so fucking glad for you. I'll finish the video later on... You know, life. But I already have a wide open smile.... Oscar Award Winner Stephy!!!!
Superb video guys, love the scenery. Very emotional ending, congratulations. M
Thank you Deb ❤️❤️❤️
Yes! you did it, you did it. I am so excited for you. You really took us with you. We felt terrible for your knees, feet and ankles. We cheered when you reached each hut, met nice people and it was especially nice when your Mum, Dad and Aunty popped up along the way. As I am a big sook, the tears were filling my eyes, your gratitude was palpable. What an achievement. You are both amazing Steph and Leigh. Good on you both, great effort! I hope your injuries are much better now and you recovered quickly. Loved, loved, loved this vlog! You did this all while filming for us. So you had to carry extra for that. Thank You.🥇🥇 🪱🛶👟🌊🦭♨️⛺⛈👏🎉❤🇦🇺🦘
Thank you so much for this awesome comment. Positive feedback like this helps us stay motivated to keep making videos ❤️

Hello from California. I watch this video and inspired. Much love to both of you, and letting us in to observe a small glimpse of such a wonderful life. Take care of those 🦶🥾
Wow, what a fantastic adventure. Thanks for taking us with you
Good job guys!! What a hike... The track is so well organised :) Frenchy you diddd it!! :D ofc you too Leigh!
Opening and closing with the same scene, expecially Steph's raw emotion, brought about 2 very different reactions for me. The first time I was a simply an observer knowing what had happened but not really able to understand your feelings. The second time I was moved. Outstanding. Congrats and thanks.
Thank you so much for taking us to this beautiful track in Australia!!
Awesome accomplishment, awesome video.
Un sourire béat est resté accroché à mes lèvres du début à la fin ! Quelle magnifique aventure, quel magnifique partage ! Merci tellement.
Votre ténacité ainsi que votre bienveillance l'un envers l'autre est aussi gratifiant à voir que les paysages sublimes. Une expérience qui restera gravé. Merci.
This was an amazing video..Thank you both for taking us along on this amazing walk... I felt like I was there and I even cried at the end.... Much love to you both ❤..Bigfella family
Thank you so much my bro ❤️🙏
What an incredible feat, the hike - of course - but also this documentary!
Thank you Karin, keep enjoying beautiful Toktogul 😉
Epic journey well done guys.
Bloody brilliant. I think what everyone else has said.
I'm not crying, you're crying!
Well done Stephanie!! This is your achievement.
Leigh was with you and not unlike my wife and I we really need each other but it was your dream and you did it, own it.
We are all so proud of you.
A great personal triumph only you 2 can truly appreciate . Happy trails
Amazing journey and adventure, Congratulations
I’m impressed 👏🏻💪🏻….. I once cycled 1100 km with my Son from our residence (Dalfsen in the Netherlands) to Zürich in Switzerland. And I thought that was an achievement, but hats off for 1000 km walking !
Thank you 😊 What an amazing thing to do with your son. Must been lots and lots of elevation. How long it took you? Next to the Bibb there is a 1000km bike track call the Mundabiddi .
@@GrizzlyNbearOverland Hello Steffy and Lee, how Nice to get response from you ! We did 17 days on the trip of which 14 days cycling and 3 rest days. The toughest part was the part in southern Germany and the part in Switserland. The route led mainly along rivers such as the Rhine and the Danube. Greetings Gert. (I Will continue to follow you).
That was epic. VERY well filmed and edited and full of emotions. Well done you 2.
thank you for this amazing video. respect for both of you
How incredibly talented you are. And also have the strength to make a film about your entire journey. Hope you have not been injured.
Thank you Kurt appreciate the kind words ❤️
Congratulations! Amazing! This is a story that you will be telling to your grandchildren! Her raw emotions are priceless! Such a love story! Wishing you a long and happy life together! See you when you have fully recuperated! Rest well! Loved this so much!

Thank you very much for this great emotional video. Congratulations to this effort.
Great video and well done on the walk,
Massive congratulations on your epic 1000k walk. Such an endurance and just as well you are both fit enough to have endured. Thanks for the video.
I can’t imagine which took more time and effort, hiking the trail or putting together this video. Either way both were magnificent. Congratulations.
Awesome video Steph. All the hard work and pain paid off. You can really feel Steph's emotion at the end. It is 4 am but I had to watch the video now. It would be neat to see some of the video that did not make the cut for this video. Stay safe and healthy, awesome accomplishment!!!
Thanks so much mate ❤️ We hope you can get back to sleep 😴
@@leighdearle5965 thanks. Stay safe hope you both are healed up
Mate, you have got the best attitude to life I've seen for a while! Constantly smiling and even though your ankle was (really quite fucked) you still kept it quiet... like a good man should.. im in bridgetown and would go on a hike with you anytime.. Steph is a gorgeous human being also! Perhaps suggest doing the PCT together and documenting that? Anyway it was a pleasure watching your documentary, I hope to see more from you 👌
Wow! Very cool! Congratulations!!
Super, absolument magnifique, bravo à tous les deux. Vous êtes adorables. 😃👍🥰🥰😘😘😘❤
👍. Well done.
Bravo vous avez fait quelque chose d’extraordinaire. Les cloques me rappelle les marches que l’on faisait à l’armée. Bonne suite et je me réjoui pour les prochaines vidéos que j’adore. 😘😘
This is by far the best yet. This is what it is all about - getting out from the car! Thanks
Absolutely amazing and very inspiriting, been a fan for quite a while, but this blog is one one my favourites. Glad to see you back in Aust, hope to see you down the track.. Scott
Superb video as always. Really enjoyed watching. Best wishes from us here in France. Vidéo fantastique comme toujours. Bonne chance de nous tous ici en France.
Unbelievable.....Your enthusiasm never ends..... Best hour I spend in a week....watching you two 👍👍👍
Thanks so much Ed ❤️
You both are soooo great, every time I love to see your videos, you both are so authentic.... 🤗💜
To see the emotion and relief in both of you is simply lovely.
Really well done, I have loved watching via Patreon. You are an amazing couple.
Thanks for sharing your personal challenge with us.
Chris
G'day mate
Thank you so much for the positive feedback, very much appreciated ❤️
Hope you're hanging in there ok over east mate.
J'ai pleuré de bonheur pour vous, je vous adore ! Quelle aventure !!!
Frenchie diving into a 1/4 pounder is hysterical. So very happy and proud of you both you are Legends. I will be glad to volunteer for a support role if you do a through hike in the USA.
Congratulations!
Amazing video ... raw emotion, endurance ... loved it!! But there's more. I have lived in WA for 70 years (Perth and not all that far from Mumbalup and Balingup and I never realised how epic the Bibbulmun track is ... a real eye opener ... thank you Leigh and Steph👍🙂
Guys this is fantastic. Pushing me into the right mood for my hike on the GR20 next week! Well done you two. Cheers
Thank you so much Andreas ❤️🙏
Gr 20 is one the bucket list! We would love to hear back from your experience. All the best !!
@@GrizzlyNbearOverland it won’t be the same level as your 1000 km trip but I’m sure it’s going to be awesome. It’ll be my son’s first hike with a tent through some steep mountains. I will get back to you to show off my bruises.
Good job on the quality of filming and well edited.
Clearly your life balance with being on the road and the necessity of weekly RUclips posts is working well. I think not having the pressure of major new boat builds / costs and other complications makes for a longer term happy experience in trying to live and do what you are doing , and you are doing it well, as I am sure all your viewers will agree.
Congratulations. Well done both of you. And Steph' , brilliant footage & editing. 👍
I wish there were multiple thumbs up I could give. Well done to both of you !!!
Well done!!
First of all, congratulations for completing your long hike!!
Second, thank you for bringing old memories of long hikes I did as a 23 year old Boy Scout Leader, and the feeling of complete communion with nature for days at a time; long journeys on foot, alone or nearly alone a way of finding yourself. I’m 71 years old now and not as mobile as I once was, but almost everyday I drive my three dogs to the mountains near my home to smell the pines and walk the earth. Thanks 🙏🏼
Fantastic job getting to the end, well done. Great video, I have been following along since your old Land Rover got hit and you built the new one. I had a 1967 Safari 110 before I left the UK and moved to Canada. If you ever make it to Ontario, Canada I am more than happy to help out with a parking spot. Looking forward to more of your travels.
Great doco Steph and Leigh. Loved seeing our beautiful country through your eyes and getting the opportunity of catching up along the way. Gave us a chance to to take in the beauty of our South West. Magnificent job, great achievement and so proud of you both ❤️🥰😘
Extraordinaire d’aller au bout de soi comme vous l’avez fait. Bravo Stephy la Frenchy comme dit ton mari. Cela vous change de votre land rover. Je vous suis depuis le début de votre départ RUclips tube avec tous les différents pays que vous avez traversé Maroc Portugal (accident) puis de la France à la Corée . Merci de nous faire partager des traditions, des coutumes , et des pays que nous verrons jamais , Merci encore toi ma,petite française toujours souriante et ton australien de mari bricoleur . Vous étés tellement attachant que vous vous êtes faites beaucoup d’amis (gang land rover) prenez soin de vous. 🇫🇷🇫🇷😉😘👍🏃♀️🏃♂️
Wow Leigh & Steff, what an inspiration you both are! This would be your best video by far. I particulary enjoyed the WA landscape, it's obviously enjoyed a fair amount of rain recently, looking so green & the wild flowers in bloom. Huge congratulations to you both!!
Sublime vidéo, mais quel exploit de votre part, vous nous faite rêver, bonne continuation à vous deux.
Perfecto and respect for the non click bait thumbnail . 👏 this is real people.
Thanks mate appreciate it ❤️
Gold nuggets every step of the way..... Thank you for sharing
the world is not enough... in fact the words are not enough ! so thank you for sharing this wonderful "journey" ! keep going. congratulations.
Fantastic emotional journey guys! Inspiring as well , going to do that one day soon I hope!
Une superbe expérience très beaux paysages merci pour le partage
Congratulations for living and sharing that experience! What beautiful moments! It really touched my heart! It has reminded me so much of the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage of about 700 km in the north of Spain that I did with my partner a few years ago !!! Congratulations for your successes, for being who you are and for sharing it and being an inspiration !!! Many thanks! I wish you the best !!! 🙏🏼❤️
