I've said it before and I'll say it again Gerry, you make beautiful content. Practical, informative and beautiful. Another great journey, thanks for taking us with you.

Nice one Gerry 👌 Getting chilly enough these evenings for the bivvy I'd say but not much space up there for a tent 🏕 Yet more inspiration to explore my own county 😎

Hi Gerry - Great camp at Slieve Snaght! I've seen quite a few frogs this summer, so it was fun to see that you found one too! Pretty pink heather and tumbling water! Loved seeing the views from the summit and the clouds rushing over and into the next valley. Seems like it's windy more often than not, but I guess it's good to keep the bugs away... probably a great trade off :) Thanks for sharing your trip, very peaceful to follow along :) Atb ~ Jennifer

Hello Walking & Wild Camping In Ireland! Thanks for the very nice video! I saw it with great interest! Great! Have a nice day!

Fair play to you Gerry for getting a sleep up there. Last time I was up there was New Year's Day 2019. Mist came in all around and the wind was howling. I was sat in that wee cairn trying to heat my stove and dry my outer shell, with no success. Had to use my compass to get off the mountain as the mist left me disorientated. But it's a great hike despite the slog through the bog. Speaking of alcohol litter. I found a six pack of Guinness cans lying on a pile of peat when I was walking down. Couldn't get more Irish litter than that. 🤣

Lovely clear footage as always Gerry. Really nice combination of shots and sounds. still not convinced about sleeping in a bivy, have thoughts of been woken by a sheep licking my face 🤐🐑. Looking forward to your next trip.

What a lovely spot... My wife and I made it to Slieve League and Malin Beg yesterday. Long trip but delighted that is now done.

Another great video Gerry, a splendid narration to describe the scene, Tks

Hi Gerry. We 'discovered' the fabulous Inishowen peninsula back in 2018 when we had a wee mid-week break at the Redcastle hotel. What a fascinating hidden treasure trove of stories, people and interesting places. We travelled right around the coastline and were amazed at what we stumbled across. Your video gives us another kind of view of the place that we really didn't see.

Some speedy running there Gerry! 😎 No one around and having the place to yourself - I still find it amazing and truly satisfying that so many places on the mountains or next to the coast in Ireland can offer so much solitude. Loved those fast rolling clouds you captured 👍 The bivy looked a great choice for that rocky summit with a flat green space amongst them! Nice to see another area explored, I haven’t climbed Slieve Snacht and it’s one for the near future I hope. And a new season begins….🤗

That’s a great wee guide book from Adrian. I’ve been working my way through it and done that one last Tuesday. Unfortunately Snaght was completely enshrouded in mist so I got no views at all. The upright rocks on the summit in the mist made it a haunting experience! Thankfully it cleared up by the time I got to Main.
Hard to beat Donegal, just love it. Thanks for sharing your experiences again Gerry.

Wonderful video as always Gerry, cheers Pal ! 😀

[gavinobrien]

Love the videos. Me and my friend looking to get into some Bivy camping soon. Looking forward to the next one 👍

[RamblingOn]

Great video Gerry as always. Although it was a micro adventure for you it seemed to be just as enjoyable as your longer trips and it was just as good a video too. The little frog was pretty cool, I have seen a good few out and about lately and your close up shots of the plants were class 👍

[topsdaily_productions]

Damn your cinematography in those opening shots were amazing. I climbed that mountain once was freezing dunno how you slept up there

[BigFly]

Nice video Gerry. Loved those time lapse of the clouds rolling in. Interesting topic about meeting someone, especially when your talking about it in the dark, could have been quite frightening if you had😲You captured some beautiful wee plants.
