Glad to see I'm not the only person who forgets to bring their cutlery along with them . Lol I love when the clouds are down low the air just smells so pure. You managed to get some fantastic video of it . Great views captured all around. 👍🦁
Cheers Richard, the Mournes are a wee bit different in character and further away than the Antrim Hills but well worth visiting time and again as they always provide a great experience :-)
Cheers Liam, a cracking couple of days even though the wind was blowing a gale on occasion but it gave a different take on an area which is outstandingly beautiful :-)
Well that was peaceful with stunning view's. Just found your channel...Subbed, look forward to watching your other vid's and some new adventures. Forgot my fork many a time. ATB Jim.
Barry, there are so many places you could camp and I suppose the weather would play a part in high or low. Low - could be looking at Lough Shannagh or where the Kilkeel River enters Ben Crom Resevoir. Also along the wall from Meelmore Lodge towards Fofanny Reservoir looks like would have some suitable spots. Higher - along the wall from Hare's Gap to Slieve Commedagh has some cool spots that are level and with good ground. I have also camped on the summit of Slieve Commedagh next to the wall and on the summit of Chimney Rock. Slieve Binnian and Slieve Bernagh seem to be popular for camping though haven't myself yet. Have always fancied a camp on the summit of Slieve Meelmore but pretty much any of the summits would be suitable if the weather was okay. I did have to retreat with a damaged tent one New Years eve at 1am due to the wind :-)
Gerry, another classic from you mate. That was urging me to say all the way. You captured some of the greatness of the outdoors in your own inimitable style. No fork?....Well our fingers are very useful. Just the job and the Ben Crom Bivvy. Spectacular view. Thanks for sharing my friend. Inspiring. All the best. Mark. P.S what was the camera?
Cheers Mark, fingers are so useful when caught short, just as are toilets ;-) I am lucky to be so close to these great mountains and probably do not visit often enough. I mainly use a DSLR i have had for a few years (no good with pics so have to use it for something) and do a bit of time lapse with a gopro. Cheers gerry :-)
gerry mcveigh A pleasure. Yeah there are some useful things we can call upon. The place in which you live is glorious...I want to and will visit your part of the world one day. The old DSLR still working fine it appears. If it's not broken why fix it? No reason. Have a great week Gerry. All the best and happy exploring. Mark.
Derrick - I mainly shop online at some of the discount sites like Sports Pursuit or Private Sports Shop which are free to join and have different brands every day - though may have to be patient to get something you like but with 50%+ savings it is worth it :-)
Cheers Tim, it is just over an hours drive to the Mournes which are the highest and most compact mountains in Northern Ireland and also the most varied and most beautiful. A great place o visit every few months to stretch the legs and the mind :-)
I love bencrom in the mountains of mourn ❤
Paul, I am with you😊
Glad to see I'm not the only person who forgets to bring their cutlery along with them . Lol

Spectacular video, beautifully shot, thank you

What a magnificent video! I love Ireland and would love to experience it like this ! 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Mike, get yourself over and do it :-)
gerry mcveigh I think I will! I have been all over Ireland by car but never camping .... that’s seems the right way to do it 😀
Beautiful mate.Wish i lived in my ancestral homeland
Wayne, I was going to say are you missing all the rain we get here, though you have been getting more than your fair share recently 💦😊
@@gerrymcveigh We sure have but it`s stopped for now
what a wonderful place thanks for sharing.
Many thanks, it is a wonderful place alright :-)
Great job again Gerry! And a lovely location too!
Cheers Liam, a cracking couple of days even though the wind was blowing a gale on occasion but it gave a different take on an area which is outstandingly beautiful :-)
You've been at this TH-cam stuff for a while I see. Nice nature shots in this one for sure!
A good few years 😊
very professional work of art!
Cheers :-)
That's a beautiful video. Very well photographed.
Cheers Joe, the Mournes never fail to surprise with new experiences - with the different seasons and changing weather :-)
Well that was peaceful with stunning view's. Just found your channel...Subbed, look forward to watching your other vid's and some new adventures. Forgot my fork many a time. ATB Jim.
Cheers Jim, subbed you back, forks and cups are especially important to remember ;-)
Amazing country side, looks cold brrr
Thanks for sharing
Cheers Chris, was a chilly night and had to put my gloves on as a second pair of socks but it was worth it :-)
Brilliant footage. Did you park at silent valley car park Gerry ? Tia
Meelmore Lodge for this one, though Silent Valley is a great starting point for trips too 😊
@@gerrymcveigh thank you. Just trying to get info on best way and best place to park to climb Ben Crom. You seem.to be quite the expert.well.done pal.
Beautiful but i wonder what it looked like before the dams were built
I often wonder that too, I would think it would be the steepest most impressive valley in the Mournes without all that water :-)
@@gerrymcveigh Its still impressive never been there ,but i have been to doolough and it looks right up there with it
Great views liked your time Lapse's, nice one Yorkie
Cheers Yorkie, the views are pretty cool in the Mournes alright :-)
Qué bellas las montañas irlandesas! En medio de esa soledad uno se siente libre y alegre! Espero escaparme por allí pronto.
Hi Gerry, great videos. I'm planning a wild camp (tent) in the coming days. Is there a spot in the mourne region you would recommend?
