This is such a great area to explore. We were down in Copmanhurst on the mighty Clarence only 8 weeks ago and did same roads out to the Mann just to explore. Saw a bunch of riders on a variety of bikes having a great ride. Stay upright and thank you for the vid!

[@MidCoastAdventures]

It's great out there, hey Tony 👍

[@MidCoastAdventures]

It's a top loop, Michelle! Catch ya 👍

[@waynekerr2397]

Many thanks . I enjoyed that video very much. Missing 2 wheels. Now on a spyder, which I love but would still love to be riding 2 wheels on roads like this post. cheers.

[@michaeloconnor1215]

You rode past my old family home when you rode through copmanhurst brings pack memories of riding all around that area

[@twouptravels2022]

Great video! Carnham Rd is now on the list for our next trip through to the Hunter Valley!

[@3goldfinger]

Good to get away😂. Phil, you're always away.

[@retiredwaterdoctor]

great as always. Garth

[@CaptainCrankyMotovlogger]

Carnham Rd is such a fantastic ride - great country - views for miles. A mate took me through there on the way back from Tingha one year, he veered off onto a very steep climn onto an almost bare hill and I got the most amazing 360 view of that whole valley and river system from up there! Love the Ulmarra Pub - damn shame the bureaucrats closed down the Ferry there!

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Cool David! I need to find that hill...lol The pub was basic but good, and what a terrific beer garden 🍻 Enjoy your weekend mate 👍

[@hinterlandrider5300]

Nice one mate 👍

[@chevstaroyal1293]

[@davidw9325]

Great ride and excellent video, I'll have to give it a go on my vstrom650. Cheers

[@johnnyhayward69]

Wow I can’t remember the last time I saw a platypus. Your lucky you camped where you did all those people that’s scary 😂 cheers Phil 👍👍

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Platypus are pretty cool creatures! And just the right amount of people camped near me 😂

[@anotherguyonabike4726]

Camped at Cangai heaps fantastic place if you pick your timing well you’ll get it mostly to yourself🙌great vid Phil👍

[@MidCoastAdventures]

It's a great loop ride hey Curt. Lots more spots around there than I've seen, and I'm keen to camp up The Gorge on trip. Cheers mate, enjoy you weekend mate 😎👍

[@bugman5337]

LUV the Videos hope catch up 1 day 🏍you have a bourbon i will have a Bundy Cheers Phil 👍👍Staysafe 🙏

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Many thanks Bugman! And cheers for your comments over the years - much appreciated mate 👍👍 Message me on Facebook when you're around this way, should be able to meet up for a cruisy ride. Cheers mate😎👍

[@coobye]

It's like a caravan park. They get away from it all so they can all pack in together😂😂

[@MidCoastAdventures]

😅 Yep!

[@dannysdirtbikeadventures2606]

Some really nice looking countryside out that way. Thanks for sharing.

[@harbour_explore]

Another ripper episode mate in some more amazing country!👌 That platypus was cool I see a fair few of them amazing creatures! And yep I’m with you mate, Cangai and Lillydale are beautiful places but crowded camping isn’t my thing either😎😬 Catch ya in the next one🍻

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Hey Sam. Was a sweet run around there, love that countryside 🙏 Anywhere there's virtually no-one, is my happy place...lol Catch ya 🍻

[@neilheyward2599]

Top marks Phil, well done👍😀 Something to ponder for you - Some say that the Clarence River used to flow towards the west! When the Great Dividing Range sprung up it was forced to flow towards the east. If you look closely at the map you may notice where the Clarence ends/ starts? near the QLD border, just over the range it lines up with the Condomine R! Keeps me up at night sometimes thinking about that one😂 Keep those videos coming buddy thier the best👌🇦🇺

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Damn, you get me looking at maps, contour lines and over-thinking way too much for a Friday night 🤣👍. Enjoy your weekend, Neil 🍻

[@neilheyward2599]

@@MidCoastAdventures my work is done 😂

[@seanb1081]

Once again you’ve found some amazing roads. Nice one mate 👍🏼

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Google maps keeps me entertained, Sean 😂 Let me know when you're off on your trip, might be able to join ya for a section of it 👍

[@seanb1081]

@@MidCoastAdventures I've decided to postpone my Big Trip. The weather forecast id for rain of showers every day over the entire area that I was hoping to go adventuring and camping. 🙄 Won't be able to get holidays from work until the last half of November. In the meantime, I've set up the new tent (a Naturehike Mongar 2) and new overhead tarp system in the back yard. Should be a good test to see how it all goes during the rain. I'll definitely let you know, when I next try for The Big Trip. Hopefully we might be able to join up for part of the ride. 😎

[@noelbowerman1562]

You've given me food for thought ,I might organise another ride from Tamworth to there .

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Well worth doing that loop ride, Noel 👍

[@benbianchi781]

Gday Phil, really enjoying your movies. We were camped on the island at Mann River camping ground when you went through on the weekend, shame we didn’t bump into mate! Thanks again

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Was great weather for the long weekend hey 👍 Nice camp spots both the Cangai and Mann River 😎

[@chrisduffy8018]

Looks like a great trip!

[@douglipscomb3002]

Great trip Phil. Guessing you avoid splashing those cow pats up onto the hot exhaust. I know I do!

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Yep, try to avoid the splatter, Doug 👍

[@hammy490]

Nice ride Phil. I love that guitar strum too. I was heading off on a solo for two nights next week but have stuffed my back again FFS! Cheers

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Bummer about the back mate! Better days to come - and weather I hope too! Cheers 🍻

[@SomewhereInside]

Another great video , liked those swivel head to the side more shots ( when safe of course😊) your camera work really was immersive , NSW and SE Qld have some fantastic scenic rides. Just some feedback the video looked great in small screen mode on my iPad Pro , but in full screen was a bit grainy . Was reading where 60% of KZbin users , watch on big TV screens nowadays, just wondering if you shot this video in 4K? Bought a DJi action cam 5 pro …planning to do a motovlog based in SE Qld so using your videos as one of my benchmarks aspire to channels . Your audio is fantastic as usual , and your videography and editing is brilliant , just the sharpness on the bigger screen .

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Cheers for the feedback 👍 Yeah, I'm still mucking around with rendering settings, and when it's overcast seem to get mixed results with action cameras. It's fun working to the gremlins and trying to refine them. Enjoy your weekend mate 🍻

[@chevstaroyal1293]

mate loving the vids they are really inspiring me to get out and ride more your riding style is exactly what i love doing quick question if you don't mind me asking do you now if there is any way to get to this run coming from tabulam as I'm from the gold coast cheers mate 😊

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Cheers mate for the kind words 🙏 From Tabulum, ride down Plains Station Road, right onto Clarence Way, then left into Carnham Road. You'll only miss out on about 5 kays of Llewellyn Road 👍

[@chevstaroyal1293]

@MidCoastAdventures thanks heaps mate as soon as we break for Christmas I'm going to do the run have a great Christmas and looking forward to more vids😊
