[@johnnyhayward69]

You’re backyard is just stunning great video cheers Phil 👍👍

[@bogor73]

Looks like a great walk out to that beach. Great weather you had. Thanks for sharing.

[@garywain7261]

Not bad Phil the old Salty Sea Dog Very enjoyable

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Cheers Gary 🍻

[@freewayproject]

I have surfed that whole stretch of coast line many many times, a good mate lived at Crescent Head so north and south of there was endless days in the water. It was good to see it again, thanks mate.

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Lots of great breaks down that way from cruisy point breaks to punchy beach breaks - as you'd know 😎👌

[@stevebain3872]

Great video Phil, enjoying all you work. Cut my teeth riding Hat Head and Hungry beaches and dunes in the 70's and 80's. Family had a house in Hat for 50 years. Brought back some great memories. Hungry was a great hidden surf beach until everyone bought 4x4's and travelled up from Crescent. Still a great part of the NSW coast, haven't changed much over the years. Cheers

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Lovely part of the MNC hey Steve 👍

[@bugman5337]

yeah got to say Phil nice on the East Coast where a lot of people think it's NICE to Be Important Personally i Prefer when you go on or over the Divide where people thinks it's MORE IMPORTANT to be NICE LUV your Solo Isolation Keep am Coming Staysafe Mate 🏍👍🙏

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Sometimes adventure is just around the next headland from where you live, but yeah, I'd rather go longer range camping, tap out from life's pressures for longer. So that is the plan this weekend 😊👍

[@dannyhall3287]

Good one Phil always entertaining & informative

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Thanks Danny👍

[@volvogt21]

Great thumbnail. Would love you to see you on a Tuareg sometime although watching your adventures on smaller bikes appeals

[@in2ADV]

Loved the video mate. The third beach looked awesome. Stay upright 🙂

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Cheers mate 🍻

[@peterwoollard288]

Phil....everyone now knows where hungry head is now...secret is out

[@retiredwaterdoctor]

Great beaches....reminds me of home....Tomorrow morning, picking up a 2023 DR 650 for a winter build. Garth

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Cool Garth 😎 Enjoy the build mate, they're terrific adventure machines 👍

[@DatAdz73]

another one to check out ,,what a slice of paradise ,,cheers phil

[@hammy490]

Love your ‘soapbox’ Phil, and you’re absolutely right. Get out there. Enjoy the day. Don’t waste them. I’m finally off on a 3-day solo camp on Monday. Will be a tad warm, but the back is good to go. Cheers mate

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Enjoy the trio mate 😎👍

[@chrisduffy8018]

You've inspired me to check out third beach Phil

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Well worth the walk 👍

[@neilheyward2599]

Thanks for the use of your legs Phil, I've now seen a little bit more of our place that i hadn't seen before. Cheers mate😃👍👍

[@MidCoastAdventures]

No problem, Neil👍 Enjoy your day mate 🍻

[@TheTenderiser]

Beautiful part of the coast 👍 thanks for sharing. Phill what cameras are you running? (Mounted ones) Your vids always seem to be of good quality. Cheers

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Ah thanks mate 👍 Just changed over from Gopro's to a DJI Action 3. Such a step up from Gopro! DJI wireless mic helps heaps too 😎👍

[@TheTenderiser]

@@MidCoastAdventures cool, like I said your vids always seem to be of good quality and clear images, I’ll be looking to buy myself an early Xmas present. Thanks again stay safe 🤙🏻

[@diggy-d8w]

Nice to see & I suppose it's getting warm in the down under b/c I'm feeling the coolness of fall here. Do you still work or just retired & it's none of my business but I love the energy/enthusiasm as you just HiT the road. Having a full time gig would make it more difficult but I see you experiencing freedom & worry that this generation or the next might not have what we've got now. I hope/pray that I'm wrong but if it turns out to be true, what a wonderful account we've got in the way of your videos? Thanks for all of that... peace & GB ALL

[@Willberight2moro]

Weather here is 20ish degrees and on off light showers so pick your days... I'm 56, retired, but see plenty of young ppl around on boats, surfing, playing golf etc so they seem to have more free time than I did. Perhaps less ppl having kids, 4 day weeks or "working from home"... Where in the world are you?

[@MidCoastAdventures]

G'day mate. I wish I was retired! Semi retired at the moment. Noticed few kids around here are right into fishing and outdoors stuff, so they're at lest doing fun outdoor stuff in my part of Australia 😎👍

[@diggy-d8w]

I liked working when I was able but seeing the garage & what looks to be a few hobbies, I thought you might be retired but it's honorable to work. You are a much busier man that I had originally thought but it's all good, I like some of the scenes you show of a small bay early or late so we can see dusk in all of it's beauty. It's a sight that can heal..... thanks & peace

[@diggy-d8w]

In the fabled lore of the Nation of Texas..... lol, when I was younger, Australia was the one place that I would have loved to go & quite possibly live there. It was the early 90's when I really gave it a serious look-see but circumstances kept me in the US. All those things that changed since you were in school happened the same way here as well. Riding in the way you do brings freedom to my forethought ~ thanks for that

[@SomewhereInside]

Great tips on sand riding there , I think I would have made the mistake of getting in those ruts. Breathtaking scenery and videography . Do you find the DRZ is better than the old rally in sand ? Cheers

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Thanks mate 👍 Love this region, so many stunning places. Both bikes about the same on sand. DRZ definitely more grunt to plough off a beach, but nearly the same 👍

[@douglipscomb3002]

Another great video Phil. Question: What sort of boots are those you are wearing? I've found my bike boots useless for riding and this sort of bush walking.

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Hi Doug, just been using high sided work boots - Oliver's. Very comfortable and provides decent protection I guess. I can't do MX boots, just not for me, or my style of riding / exploring 👍

[@Willberight2moro]

Do you need a permit to ride on the beaches, What psi are you running for sand? Greetings from Forster....

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Hi mate, yeah, need a beach permit for the region you're planning to ride. Up here the one I have only covers a few local beaches. Hastings Shire and down where you are Forster may have a longer list of beaches you can ride on? Something to look into. As for PSI, I just leave mine at 25 psi all the time. Seems to work for me. Cheers mate 👍

[@3goldfinger]

​@@MidCoastAdventuresHow much is the permit and how long does it last.

[@Willberight2moro]

@3goldfinger I only see 4wd so not sure if motorbikes are the same. It's $105 per annum or $50 for pensioners looking at Services NSW..

[@MidCoastAdventures]

@@3goldfinger Pretty well what @Willberight2moro said 👍 www.midcoast.nsw.gov.au/Community/Sport-and-recreation/Beaches-and-public-pools/Driving-on-beaches

[@3goldfinger]

@@MidCoastAdventures so a one day ride will set you back $105, or $50 for me, no thanks. I will wait till I GET TO Cable Beach in Broome, it's free.
