Thanks so much Hawaii Girl!!

The colours are beautiful and tricky to capture on video but it is truly stunning!

It was a bit too windy unfortunately, but would have loved to get the drone up. I need a bit more practice in windy conditions.

It is so peaceful!! Provided it’s not crazy windy lol!!

Some of the areas have such clear water - it truly is beautiful!!

There’s a great selection of beaches around the city that’s for sure 😊

There’s quite a lot of history in that area. Such a shame the lift bridge is gone though.

@@supchick5757 and they dumped all the cane locomotive cane trains in the river

I recon it’s the best part of the river, shame about the motorway noise but I like all the trees about the rivers edge.

@supchick5757 bet ya life.

About 6 years now!! It’s done pretty well, but it would have done better if I hadn’t scraped the hole in the first place - silly mistake in my part…

I’ll have to check, I know it’s not marine grade and I don’t know how it will hold up in hot conditions as it’s designed for inside use but it’s a good experiment. Once I get back to somewhere more populated I should be able to find someone who can fix it properly 🤞🏽

I used it as a floatation device while snorkelling but it did have a slow leak - that was with the compressive force of me holding onto it to float though!!

I think it depends on the location, rules are constantly changing. It’s best to check your local area first by connecting with a paddle board group or looking at local bylaws with the local council.

It’s a really versatile way of mounting a GoPro!! Good for those under water shots too 😊

Thanks for watching 😊 It was near the Loch Ken Holiday Park by the decommissioned railway bridge - there is a link to a map with coordinates under ‘Location’ on this blog post sup-chick.com/paddle-boaring-on-loch-ken/

@@supchick5757 Many thanks👌

Yes, it was my own fault that put the original hole in it but the patch has done a good job so far.

Getting it professionally repaired is a good idea if you don’t know how to do it yourself. The people who repair surf lifesaving inflatables are a good place to start.

Lol I could barely notice the air coming out at all but I’d have been worried if we were a long way out from shore!

Thanks Big Daddy!! Glad you liked it. It’s a pretty nice spot 😊

It was sooo nice!!

Yes I think I saw one in the edit that I didn’t notice in the day. Some good snorkelling too 😊

Yes fishing is pretty popular in the region and the area is well known for prawns 🍤

A cocktail cabinet sounds like a brilliant idea!! Yes we found a lo Ely family for her who I think might love her almost as much as we did 💗🚐 All the best with getting your rust work done. It can be a bit of a mission 😊

It’s pretty cool to see😊

Still going strong!! 💪🏽

@@supchick5757 Thank goodness. I expect to sometimes toss heavy loads. Decided to spend a lot on I hope are strong bags. Believe it can take a large load? Thanks.

update - picked him up this morning and left my Amaz comments!

Wow that would have been fantastic!! I they seem to be one animal that just loves to play - we saw a group of 4 catching a wave and they were having a great old time, almost like they were saying to the surfers ‘this is how you do it’ 😊

It was awesome!! We were so lucky as there were 11 that came to visit the day we were there 🐬

They have such a lovely energy don’t they? And when the mum to be rolled over a bit and looked me straight in the eye!!! WOW 🤩

I think the AAV was around the 250K and SLR was about 100K more again but that could have changed since. Pretty cool trucks both of them. I was really surprised at how spacious the AAV felt inside. Have you checked out any others? Always interesting to see what’s on the market.

@@supchick5757 Thank you so much for responding! Yes, I've seen other overlanding vehicles, even ones from ATW (All Terain Warriors). The AAV and SLRV were the only two to pique my interest. The prices are not too bad also. Does the AAV come with a small washing machine like the SLRV?

I can’t remember a washing machine being part of the package but I wouldn’t be surprised if you could get it as an add on - but I honestly can’t remember. I don’t believe the model we looked at had one and I can’t remember seeing a spot specifically for one but I think customising these trucks is pretty common. There’s a KZbin channel called ‘Follow the Fuso’ that has an AAV they might be worth contacting as I think they’ve had theirs a year or so now and would have some great insights into what living in the truck is like 😊

Here’s a link to their truck tour which might be interesting kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYvdfKmMd6eYrKMsi=IWVA5L-7q7aeGpK2

@@supchick5757 Thank you so much for all your help!!! I reallt do appreciate it, I'll definitely check them out.

🤣

Thanks 😊 it’s such a beautiful place and a lesser known and quieter gem of a spot ✨

Thanks 😊 it’s great to think that some things are still made to last 🏄🏼‍♀️

Thanks 😊 trying to keep a fairly dry subject a little more interesting and I think the pictures speak for themselves ✨

Yes we have a few scratches on them from running into submerged obstacles but they’ve remained strong. They usually take about 10 -15 minutes to pump up manually (depending how hot it is 🥵 and how fast we go!!)

Thx..good to know

Let me know how you get on - I’m sure you’ll love it as I know you’re into your outdoor sports from your videos such as hiking 🥾 and riding 🚴

Yes it’s good to buy something that will last as long as possible and is able to be repaired instead of having to buy a new one all the time as they are pretty hard to recycle ♻️ I think very few of them have only a small percentage that can be reused but I have to do more research on that one.

Good idea!!

It’s a really beautiful place ✨

It’s a great place for plane spotting!!

A bit of a dad joke but oh well... 😝

Sunny days are the best days 😊

Lol yes!! I filmed mainly when it was calm. Kinda got distracted when the wind kicked up 😊

@@supchick5757 Still interesting! Like Herman, I was wondering about the wildlife, and am glad it's too chilly for certain wildlife.

Yes especially historic landmarks - some never seem to be noticed until it’s too late. I’m hoping the bridge at the very start of the trail doesn’t follow suit - it’s pretty cool 😎
