    Mt Solitary - Blue Mountains- Australia

    Hey guys I went for a hike and camped on Mt Solitary and thought I would post a vid of it.

    Mt Solitary is near Katoomba in the blue mountains.

    Jamie Neale got "Lost" for 12 days.
    After doing the walk myself I still believe he was not lost and was faking it.

    Maybe a few days would have been believable but not 12. Tracks are really easy to follow and there is phone reception for most of the length of the mountain.

    No Hammock footage in this video But I will post my hammock setup (which was on the mountain) on my page.

    Thanks for posting that. That is some Beautiful country you got there. It looks like you guys had a great time.
