it wasn't a whole night but got some

rest now it's having a quick coffee and

then we're gonna start walking up it's

about another hour and a half

walk up and then we'll be up there at

sunrise and you can watch this thing

happened any alley

well it is sort of hard to film up here

because it's so dark so I'll try and

describe it a little bit it's very dark

obviously and like some sort of other

world landscape just rocks and sort of

there's a bit ashle everywhere so it's

dusty every time we touch something it

sort of powders up and we're sort of

following this black Sand Creek and just

walking up it there's no water but I

just yeah it's all just lava landscape

and it's covered all my camera gear in

basically sand really light sand

Maxie are up there on the ridge and just

covered in ashes but look at this

craziness behind me you know every one

vomit up into the sky and then the wind

just blows it away and big billowing

clouds like full and then this this all

that I'm standing on it's all this sort

torrent was yesterday that we had to

cross not much left of it there was a

waterfall down here below me just when

it rains then we were walking down here

down 3/4 of the way down it started

raining and found these guys working in

the bush and they've made this little

Hut here and now they've climbed up a

coconut tree and got us some fresh

coconuts they're clearing the bushes so

they can grow more coconuts

oh we're back in the nut med groves and

we're about to catch the motorbike to

the noisy motorbikes and go back down to

the village pretty awesome adventure up

so good it's like 40 degree water and

washing in this hot water couldn't get

more perfect ending for this little

adventure we survived too sketchy

okay so that's another episode in the

books I think that's my first ever

double episode to be honest at this

point I would like to say a big thank

you to Maxie and to Addie from Metis

cottage awesome place and they were so

good with organizing stuff for us going

up the the decor know and the food there

it's just fantastic I couldn't recommend

it enough to go and stay there if you

really want somewhere off the beaten

track

you've got luxury you've got beautiful

coral and and you know you've got this

volcano up behind there and you can just

hang out and do nothing but and get fat

that food is just amazing I could have

stayed there for months to be honest but

anyway I'll definitely go back

another thing it was real cool to have

my brother Toby on board had three

episodes with him in but he actually

stayed for weeks I think altogether

which was really really cool I don't get

to see Toby very often he lives in

Australia and you know we would were

eight years apart and age so we didn't

grow up super close but it's really

really cool to experience these things

with him every couple of years and that

was cool Toby thanks for bringing the

drone and the the GoPro camera for me at

this point also want to thank sub Tech

it's a great company from Sweden who

make expedition bags and computer cases

and things like that

in this episode you've seen the

conditions I was in just crazy rain and

dust and sand and stuff everywhere

without subject my all my gear would

have been destroyed our managed to clean

it on it's all still working but yeah

thanks the subtext they don't pay me

they give me these bags to test and more

than happy with them so if you do feel

you need something to protect your gear

and harsh environments I could recommend

sub tech for sure there's a link below

and I can also give you a code for a 20%

discount on all their gear it's not

cheap but it's it's the best if you if

you really want to protect your stuff

get the subtext stuff there's a link

below yeah and like on every video I

thank my patrons and it's not just

because I have to it's because I really

want to you mean a lot to me and not

just the financial to help obviously but

but

you know you guys are extra good with

writing comments and asking me things

and there is a little connection there

through through that community vibe

which is lost in a lot of the other

social media I find so that's that's

really cool thank you all very much it's

been a couple of new ones on board too

very very happy to welcome you guys if

anybody else would like to support these

videos so I just do keep making them in

the future there's a link below you can

go and check that one out and to

everyone else who's watching this video

I hope you like to end the last one if

you do and obviously there are quite a

few of you liking them these days best

way you can help me out on this channel

is to share these videos if you know if

you've got friends that you think might

like this sort of content obviously it's

not for everyone but if you've got

friends who you think might really get

really good into it share with them I'll

be really really happy about that it's

the best thing you can do for me

actually liking in comments great

obviously being a being a patreon is

great as well but sharing the videos is

the best way to get them around okay

thanks for watching in two weeks there

will be another video and it will be

still on MIDI Ireland but a bit of a

special one anyway a little kid coming

up behind me on my pedalboard see you
