Today there's a really nice flow.

It rained a few days ago, so it looks really beautiful right now

We plan to hike up the adjacent river.

Last year we flew a drone all the way up the mountain,

To about a thousand meters [above sea level] we're at about 400 right now.

And we saw that there's a nice

waterfall way up the mountain there so

we're going to attempt to get to it today.

In the in the drone video that we shot last year.

We saw that there's a farm up on the top of the mountain there

so we're going to attempt to drive to it

that would take up to about 650 meters [above sea level]

so then we'd only have to hike up

another 350 meters, to 1000 meters above sea level.

The roads to that farm are not on Google Maps.

hopefully we can find them

there's a lot of water now.

Hopefully as we get up there

the water will decrease a bit

and make it easier for us to get in.

It's a beautiful day I'm excited.

So let's do this!

so we've reached the end of the road

We're going to start walking from here.

It looks like there's a path that will go down into the river.

And we found this hiking flag, so maybe maybe there's

a path that we can take that'll go all the way up

or maybe go to the mountain

we don't know but we're about to find out

we made it to the river

but there's a lot of water.

It looks like we're going to have to swim it from here.

Woo, this water is a little bit cold!

so the river is getting pretty narrow here .

If we still have to go up another

250 meters or so [in elevation] and the rivers like this here now,

We might not be able to make it the whole way.

but we'll just go as far as we can and and see what's up there.

Hopefully we can get to our destination

This last bit of River has been kind of like a staircase.

We've been able to gain a lot of elevation pretty quickly.

It's been kind of easy.

We were worried before that

because the the river was really narrow,

maybe we wouldn't be able to make it.

Thankfully it widened back up.

We think that it's got to go up to that ridge there,

and around to the right

And then we'll be at the waterfall.

There's an hundred meter section in there

that we have no information about.

I couldn't see it on the satellite images,

but it looks pretty narrow.

Even though we're almost there,

I think it's still about 150 meters in elevation gain,

so hopefully we can we can get around that.

so we just came around the bend here

after a very steep area

It looks like a completely different river.

It's really beautiful here. I like it

We've been traveling for a few hours now up river.

We past a canyony part in the very beginning.

Then it sort of opened out in quite a wide river base.

And we've just taken a right hand fork.

It seems like we're entering up the third and final stage

up through the jungle.

So let's see how we get on! Onwards and Upwards!

After the last [3] hours of river climbing,

We've past a dozen waterfalls,

A couple of wades and a couple of slips.

We've finally made it to the Badboy.

It's just around this bend.

It should open up.

It sounds like it's really pouring in there,

But we're all quite excited.

John tell me how you tell me how you got the drone up so high?

DJI Vision Control came on.

And it would only let me go 10 meters high.

So I bounced off that first tree.

And let the alarm and sensors go off.

Then I bounced off that tree.

I flew out to the center of the canyon

And I managed to go as high as it would let me.

And then the GPS kicked in.

Nice!

The DJI Phantom 4 can only fly ten meters above ground

without a GPS signal.

To get around this

John flies over a branch

setting off the 10-meter sensor.

Then over the top of the tree.

Triggering the 10 meter sensor again.

And then he could get high enough to get a GPS signal,

And fly over the waterfall.

Wow!

Wow! We made it.

This was not a given.

I was not sure if we'd be able to make it here or not.

I'm very happy we did.

It looks amazing.

And it is huge!

Wow!

This waterfall must be, I don't know, 60 meters tall?

It's beautiful.

I love it.

This is definitely one of the bigger falls that I've been to.

And one of the harder ones to get to.

I'm not sure how long it took us,

maybe three hours, could be more.

I've got to check the GPS log.

But, Wow!

This was an adventure.

I'm pretty happy with today.

The weather held out.

It's just so good to be here right now.

I finally made it back to the bikes.

It turns out this hiking flag had had nothing to do with the waterfall.

The path goes up the mountain to the left.

I'll post where it is later.

Further up the stream there was some pipes

But they quickly finished off.

As continued up the stream there was a

little bit of garbage that I picked up

probably from some hunters.

But then it stopped and once we turned the corner

and went up into the canyon,

where thing got quite quite difficult,

We didn't see any signs of humans being there after that,

So I'm pretty sure that this is an uncharted waterfall.

I wasn't able to find anything online about it

In about two years now of searching.

So we've decided, John and I, that we're going to

That we're name the English name of this waterfall

after ourselves.

Why didn't you guys help me out with the Chinese name.

Comment your ideas for the Chinese name below,

And we'll pick one and name the waterfall after that.

Thanks a lot for watching I'll have the

I'll have map and details up soon.

So that you can hike there yourself.

It's not really a beginner waterfall,

But for people who love the outdoors people who love adventure.

And are used to climbing rocks and playing in the river.

I think you'll really enjoy this one.
