Hi Chris! Thank you for joining me on this little trip, nice memories 😉 I’m feeling very well thanks - back at work and coping ok with that. One of my treatments is an injection every 3 weeks for a year and I’ve my last one next week and another is a hormone treatment for 5 years and I seem to be tolerating that one ok too. I do hope you’re doing ok and that your treatment is progressing well and has been doing its job! Take good care of yourself and wishing you well!!

Ha!! Thank you 🤗 I hope you do get your Dahon out of the shed and have some lovely adventures 🤞 Thanks so much for letting me know you’ve enjoyed the videos, what a lovely message to read! You’ve inspired me today now too…have a nice day today. Ireland is being battered by Storm Bert today so I’m laying low 😉

@@MiriamKennedy Nice to hear from you Miriam. Coincidentally, I was close to being battered in the pub car park last night. Bert arrived a few hours later. Been watching some more this morning. Please keep well. And best wishes.

Glad you survived your pub car park near miss!! 🙃 Thanks for watching some videos - nice to hear!! Take care today yourself 🤩

Thanks so much! Your message prompted me to watch this video again, what a trip! So glad that I got to do it 😉 Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it!

Thank you Brian! Such great conditions for this walk - I loved it!! The little drone did very well with the beautiful light to show the place off 😊

Thanks John! Some great memories from this trip - long days, blue skies and peddling free! 😎

Thank you!! There’s lots of places in little old Ireland for me to still explore 😉 Thanks for your message, I really appreciate it!

You’ll love it I’m sure Owen!! 😎

All very good Owen thanks! I’m back at work and getting out on the hills when I can 😉

Merci 😊

Thanks Patrick! Always nice when the weather behaves as you would like 😎 So nice to be out in weather like that!

Thanks very much John, I appreciate it!! Almost a year ago now that I did that trip I believe. Hope you get back home for that trip next year🤞😊

@ just shared your channel with my wife as I think she will also be inspired. Keep up the great work Miriam.

Ah thanks John - I hope she enjoys them 🤗 I’m taking a break from the videos for the next while but I might get back at it again eventually!!

Thank you! Nice to hear that it offered some reprieve Catherine 😉 Take care out there…🙃

Thank you John! That’s lovely of you to say 😊 I’m kept busy exploring over here anyway and I realise that I’ve still so much more to see. You must be very content with your hiking over in the Peak District! Our lesser mountains await your visits…thanks so much for your message - really nice to receive 🤗

Thank you Maureen! That’s so interesting to hear, Newfoundland must be a very special place 😉 Really nice to hear from you and I wish you well today!! 🙏

Thanks very much Niall! That’s a lovely message to receive 😎 All is good with me thanks - hope you’re keeping well yourself!!

That's brilliant

Cheers Gary 🙂 A great little escape - blue skies and warm temperatures…ah bliss! Very quiet while I was there - it felt like I had the place to myself. Some nice memories for sure…thanks for your message!!

Thanks very much Martin!! So lucky - I jumped at the chance when the weather was looking so good 😊

Thanks very much Annie! Summer memories - the long days and blue skies…nice to be reminded of them 🤦‍♀️ Hope your trip on the Camino went well…you’re living the life!! Bere island turned out to be another lovely little spot to spend some time…very quiet when I was there. Thanks so much for your message and for checking out the video!! 🙏 Take good care!! 😉

Awww thank you for your lovely message! A hike I’m keen to keep remembering - it felt so great to get conditions like this to see the range in all its glory 😊 It always feels like a lucky break when the forecast works out as hoped! Thanks so much for joining me - a real pleasure to hear you enjoyed it. I hope all is well with you! 😉

Hi Alan - the waiting must be really tough. That’s a very long time to have to wait…you poor thing! Fingers and toes crossed that you’ll hear good news in December 🤞 I’m doing pretty well thanks Alan - I’m back at work but I’ve been well enough to be out in my tent for the last three weekends on the trot…always a good sign!! 😉 Take good care and thanks for letting me know what’s been happening!

Thank you very much Eric - that’s lovely to hear! I thoroughly enjoyed this trip 😊

Oh super! I wish you the very best of luck for your hike in March - fingers crossed on the weather for you too!! 😊

Thanks very much Emmett for letting me know you enjoyed it 🤗 I was very blessed with the weather for sure - always nice when the forecast actually works out 😉

Thank you Tony! 😊 I was learning how to use the drone on this one and having fun in the snow - such a nice day!

Thanks very much, it’s a wonderful area 🤗

Thank you!! Ignorance is bliss 🙃 Very glad I made it though 😂

Vielen Dank ❤️😊

Thank you Richard 🤗 Some lovely rocky terrain like you have in the Mournes. That book has served me well for hikes in Mayo and Connemara in recent years, it’s very good! Thanks for watching this and your message 😊

Ha!! Thanks Nigel ❤️

😂😂 I’ve the fire lit and I’m watching the darts here again this evening 🤭 While watching - I’m packing my bag for a cold camp tomorrow night!! 🤗

Thanks very much Nigel 🤗

It was the first outing of a new pink hat - a gift from a friend for my birthday 😂

Thank you 🙏 Very glad that you liked the quote - he knew a thing or two our John Moriarty! I hope you’re keeping well 😉

Ha brilliant!! Such a great coastline for some sneaky camps 😉 Hope your North Leitrim camp works out soon…the weather is looking good for me to get a sneaky camp in Wicklow this weekend 🤞

​@@MiriamKennedy ​ Oh I love it. Wicklow is a touch of class. I'm hoping for somewhere near Glencar. BTW, Durston bringing out the X-Dome.. think I'm in love. A freestanding tent weighing about a kg. The X-Mid is taking a back seat for the time being 😅😅😅😅

Yes I saw the X-Dome has been released - a thing of beauty!! 🤩 Happy dreaming and shopping 😎

Thanks very much Nigel 😊

Thanks very much and great to hear about your accidental landing on my little videos 🤗 This tent is the MSR Access 2 - it’s marketed as a 4 season tent but I would never use it in very high winds. It has less mesh in the inner, more stability on the central pole and a greater number of guyline points than their 3 season Hubba Hubba tent. Yes - the Mongar Naturehike tent does look like the MSR Access & Hubba tents. The MSR Access 2 is lighter though at 1.8Kg V 2.1Kg for Naturehike. I can’t comment about materials used and quality of the Naturehike tents - my MSRs have lasted me well whilst knowing their limitations! 😉

@MiriamKennedy the Nature Hikes are okay but you get what you pay for. They're an entry level tent for somebody looking to see if the like wild camping. They'd do the job. Being made redundant in March so looking to do lots more camping, so like you, my next tent will be the Durston X-Mid 2. Your videos are inspiring and its definitely given me the kick in the backside that I needed to get more hiking into my camping.

Great stuff (not about the redundancy - unless you’re happy about it!) No doubt you’ll enjoy your X-Mid 2, I’m certainly enjoying mine 😊 The very best of luck with your camping and hiking plans - it’s such a great thing to be able to do so I hope you get to do lots!! 😎

@MiriamKennedy after 35 years with same company, I'll look forward to the break. Will take nine months out to relax and recharge. I'll miss the job, the patients especially but I think I'll enjoy the break 😁

@JTRavers69 Sounds great!! 😊

Thanks very much John for your message 😊 A lovely memory to have of a great hike!!

Awww thank you Lena ❤️ Fond memories of this trip!!

Cheers Anthony!! A great little booster to realise that me and the bike could do it 😊 A fun milestone along my recovery journey!!

Thanks very much Gary! The drive for adventure gives me a nice lift when it arrives 😉 Very glad when I’m able to act on it!! Cheers for your message!

Thanks very much Kevin - great sense of achievement 😁 And DARTS all the way 🤩😎

The weather gods played ball with me Jason 😉 Thankfully it unfolded as forecasted! A pretty spectacular mountain range…those living in the west are very lucky. Great sense of achievement to finish the route safely 🤩 Thanks for watching it and your message 😎

Thank you! I don't use Komoot but I just had a look and I don't think the route is listed in their app. I use OutdoorActive and I've uploaded the route to that app from which you can download a gpx file of the route. Outdoor Active link: out.ac/IWOhw4 Hope that helps!

Thanks very much Olive! I know it seems totally unrealistic to get weather like this, sometimes it works though 🤭 Great you’re familiar with the route - really nice to do and a great sense of achievement that I was able for it. I’m back to work now tomorrow so it’s back to normal for me now 😉 Thanks again!

@@MiriamKennedy Back to...planning the next one! I always feel better if I have another trip to look forward to and enjoy the planning as much as the doing...

@@olivemcgrath5231 me too Olive! Happy planning 😊

Ha!! AI generated footage - it was really miserable when I was there…I couldn’t see a thing 🤦‍♀️

@@takumarify Thank you! Delighted I grabbed these moments of good weather like you said 😊 Such a nice thing to be able to do and to still have some decent daylight to enjoy the outdoors!

Thanks very much John for watching this one and your lovely message! 🙏 You’re so right - the weather makes all the difference in making our mountains so attractive…the mist and rain has its place but a bit of sunshine certainly helps get me out more!! 😉
