Every time I watch your video's I'm looking for a weekend to get out there- I'll be out there soon - go mca.

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Ah thanks David- love the positive feedback. Enjoy your weekend mate 😎🍻

[@neilheyward2599]

Loved that one Phil.👍 All the old place's i used to ride a push bike when I was a kid. I can remember back in the 70's having to drink the muddy water from the dam when the new water system broke down! As usual mate, bloody great video🏍️🇦🇺🍻

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Cool Neil! You've done some exploring mate! 😎 Different world where that damn is, hey . Cheers 🍻

[@neilheyward2599]

[@retiredwaterdoctor]

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Enjoyed that. Impressive dam.

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍

[@kurts64]

Great trip! I checked out the Bottlebutt a few months back, bloody impressive tree, but now im spewin i didnt know about that dam, that place looked awesome! Definitely gunna head back there, cheers for the vid👍👍

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Wild arse road into the damn, but worth it, Kurt. Bit of old school history 😎👍 Cheers 🍻

[@bogor73]

Always a good day when you upload :) great video. I am not a fan of heights at all but loving the views.

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Ah thanks Bogor 🙏

[@BarrySimmons-y4h]

Great video Phil, look forward to meeting you and hitting some tracks with Curtis. Cheers Baz

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Thanks Baz! Some fun exploring coming up 😎👍

[@anotherguyonabike4726]

Mate that tree was ridiculously big so cool🙌interested to see who this other KZbinr is as well🤔great vid as always Phil👌

[@MidCoastAdventures]

It's one serious lump of wood...lol I'll let you know who the other youtuber is tomorrow 😅. Catch ya Curt 😎👍

[@darcyh2889]

Greggs road is super sketchy as. Looking back at that section where you called no thanks where the bridge crossing was no longer looked like a harder run getting out than in. Good call being a solo rider. Amazing findings looking up from ground level. 🙌

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Cheers Darcy, gotta play it safe on your own I feel. Catch ya 👍

[@dr650supermoto3]

Coming down to swr on the 28th April for a week at trail bay will have to go do this ride for saw. Keep up the awesome videos mate 💪👍🇦🇺

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Cool. Looks of good places even closer than Wauchope. Tamban through to the Pub With No Beer (Taylors Arm) is a great day ride 😎👍

[@MrHorsePony]

I have old photo's back in the day when I use to drive my HD Holden car up that road to the dam with no problems at all and that was right up to about 100mtr from the Dam Wall.

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Wow! The road has crumbled dramatically since then! Probably be unusable in a year or so. Cheers mate 🍻

[@douglipscomb3002]

The camera doesn't show just how bad some of those tracks are or how steep hills can be. I have come to grief on rutted tracks several times, so not a great fan. Maybe a smaller, lighter bike might be the answer! Love your work Phil

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Ah, thanks Dough 👍 There's definitely less stress and effort navigating rough terrain with a lighter bike. Not ideal on the highway, but perfect once in the fun stuff. Cheers mate 🍻

[@adssmedo7376]

you and dave @staying sane from the willa post office need to do a ride together

[@cliff1551]

11:55 I can see a pub from ere 👋🤠🍻

[@MrHorsePony]

I was done with Horse and Cart back in the day Phil. They switch over to Blue Creek Dam when the Hastings River was in flood and to dirty to use for the town water supply.

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Ah cool, thanks for dam info 🙏😎👍

[@CaptainCrankyMotovlogger]

Wow, fascinating ride Phil - a fair bit on the technical side and lots of it really smashed up by the fourbies who've obviously gone charging up there in the wet. I did see a video once by some guy who launched a drone from the Radio tower up there, he also did a flight over Ellenborough falls. Yeah, how in the hell did they get the materials in there, let alone build that dam?? I always wonder about that, work was harder and people tougher those days I reckon! There's not even a real road in there from any direction! Wifey and I went to Old Bottlebutt - lovely forest in there and quite an unusual tree.

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Thanks heaps David! Appreciate the kind words mate 🙏 Pretty wild ride into the dam! And old bottle butt is a monster- glade it wasn't logged back in the day 👍 Cheers mate 🍻

[@peterhoutkamp5581]

Hi just wandering whats the navigation you have? Great videos

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Hi Pete, I use either of two free off line maps - OsmAnd, and Gaia Maps . Both great 👍

[@todgilding1365]

That's great Phill, you don't have to go far to find God's country from where we live . Just a shame that a lot is national park

[@MidCoastAdventures]
