MOUNT TENNENT SNOW WALK

The following video is from the YouTube channel jtneill. It's a mad adventure and a race against darkness up the slopes of Mount Tennent to the snow.

James seems to have strapped a video camera to his body and ran up the Mountain starting at 4.20 pm.

The video shows a vivid side to the mountain, wildlife, scenery and a lovely ending that I thought was well worth a little extra exposure...


"There was snow on Mt Tennent, so I did a late afternoon run to suck in Mother Nature's winter rapture. Water, rivulets, sweat, rocks, trees, kangaroos, drink, wombat, dusk, sky, silence, ice, snow, descent, home, share, memories, edit, upload, reflect." James T Neill - Wilderdom.

    Hey Dave, I think you should take a leaf out of James' book and shoot your next video while taking on a drastic physical challenge, like swimming across Lake Burley Griffen at night in a gale or abseiling down Black Mountain Tower during a bushfire. :) Keep up the great work. Cheers, Paul.

    Thanks Paul... I think a car inner-tube starting on the Murrumbidgee up on the long plain (where you can still step over it) all the way down to Tharwa... I'll mount the camera but I won't be on it mate :)
