Hiking MOUNT BRANDON from the Faha Side - My FAVOURITE trail in Ireland

Join me on my favorite hike in Ireland as I take on the challenging elements of climbing Mount Brandon in fog and cold weather.
Hiking MOUNT BRANDON from the Faha Side - My FAVOURITE trail in Ireland

This breathtaking hike offers stunning views of the Irish countryside, but it's not for the faint of heart. The fog and cold weather add an extra layer of challenge to the climb, requiring hikers to be prepared with appropriate gear and a good understanding of hiking techniques.

As I make my way up the mountain, I share my experience of navigating through the thick fog and battling the cold wind. But despite the challenging conditions, the hike is incredibly rewarding, offering unparalleled views of the surrounding landscape.

So come along with me and discover why Mount Brandon is my favorite hike in Ireland, and learn how to conquer the elements on your next outdoor adventure.

Martin, a stunning area for hiking and well worth a return visit👍 Well done on finding the WW2 crash site 👍 Pretty good weather, even if it was freezing and misty on the top❄😊 Camping beside some of those Paternoster Lakes is on my list too👍 Take care.

That looks absolutely stunning and you hot a great day for it. Pity that there was no views at the top but the ones you did get were class 👍

Cracking Hike with big views 👍
looking for villages or in this case wreck sites adds to the climbing so glad you managed to find the engine 👍🙏🏼😊
I tried to find a similar crash site in the Peak District but didn’t find it (an excuse to return 😬)

Loved the humour again in his one. I can see why this is your favourite hike. It's absolutely stunning. Loved the drone footage too. Excellent video Martin.

Class video Martin, the scenery looked stunning down the valley and out to the coast. Some class looking rock formations gives the place a rugged character, perfect spot for a wee camp as you say! Fair play to ye for having the brew at the top, it looked Baltic!! Thanks for sharing another great adventure Martin, ATB!

Great video, thanks Martin. We're planning climbing Brandon next month for the first time. Is Faha the better route to take?

Must take a look for that plane debris sometime.
I bèen up from Faha 3 times and down 4 times, and never saw it.
Be a WW2 man too, read anything I see about it.
