Exploring Bere Island - Biking, Walking & Camping
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 มิ.ย. 2024
- Two nights spent exploring the wonderful Bere Island with fabulous weather. There are many places of interest on Bere Island including - Martello Towers, Ardnakinna Lighthouse, Holy Year Cross, Gallán Standing Stone and Bere Island Heritage and Information Centre to name a few. I brought a bike which helped cover a lot of ground but some places of interest were definitely more accessible by foot so the combination worked well for me. The island is 11km long by 4km wide (and not 10km x 2 km as stated in the video).
There are two separate ferry operators serving the island from Castletownbere and another about 5km outside Castletownbere. The two ferry providers bring you to different parts of the island.

Well worth a visit!!
That was absolutely beautiful Miriam from start to finish. Thank you.
@@jengreatrex7384 thank you Jen! That’s a lovely compliment to receive 🤗 Wishing you well x
That was just beautiful 😊 Thankyou for posting 👍
@@carmeltravers6371 thanks very much Carmel 🤗 Delighted you enjoyed it 😉
Tent right on edge of Scart Beach, amazing sunset/sunrise AND a jam and sausage bun. Doesn’t get better than that! So good the weather was kind as drone shots were particularly good. Many thanks for sharing the trip with us as always.
@@niceverett166 Thanks very much Nic 🤗 The weather was certainly my on my side for this trip. I thoroughly enjoyed it!! The sausage bun is a hit every time when I have one with me - soooo nice!! 😂 Thanks for watching the video and your message.
Superb, as usual! What a gem of a place and beautifully filmed, as always. 🙂
@@snowcelt cheers Kevin! A lovely spot to visit and explore, I loved it! Hope all is good with you this Summer 🤗
Such a beautiful island and the cove you camped in was perfect. You made my mouth water with the sight of your sausage bap.
Glad the weather stayed dry for you, here we've had a lousy summer with far too much rain. It gets a bit boring having to remember to take the rain gear with you.
Thanks for a lovely start to my day Miriam and I'm already looking forward to another video.
@@colinwellman9480 thanks so much Colin! The rain has been relentless here too recently 🤦♀️ I’ve injured my knee so I can’t get up to much anyway but it’ll be nice to get out and about again when the weather and my knee behaves!! 🤞 You have me thinking of a sausage bap now which would be nice!! 😂
Irish tourism owes you a debt of gratitude, Miriam. Every time you post a video, I want to travel there. Thank you so much. 👍🙂🏕️🚴♀️
Ha! That's lovely to hear 🤩 A big thanks to you for watching it and letting me know you enjoyed it...that always gives me a lot of pleasure!!
Good to see you back
@@artfavreau8859 thank you Art! Good to be back 🤗
Fab video! Bere Island is on my "must visit" list.
@@carrigman thanks John! I think you’d enjoy it - lovely little spot 🤗
Oh Miriam! You have done it again. You are one of the best creators on TH-cam, in my opinion, and I watch a lot of TH-cam. Every time I see you pop up with a new video ... I rush home to watch it. Only a 60 inch TV will do!! Thank you so much for making these.
Awwwww - thats very lovely of you to say!! 😁 I just watched it on my tele this evening with a pal who always comes over to watch a video I post with me...it definitely looks better on the tele!! 🤗 Thanks again x
Miriam, good to have you back. 👋 Beautiful travel and documentation about 🤗
@@aedamhaeng thanks very much!! It’s a lovely place and it was great to be there 🤗
Fab video, thank you! Spent a lot of time in Beara peninsula area over the years and always wondered what Bere island was like. You're such an inspiration. Love that music so much too. Gonna be okay.
Ah super, you know what the general area is like so! 🤗 The island was a lovely peaceful spot and there’s so much more to see than what I was able to get to. Very glad to hear you enjoyed the music!! 🤩 hee hee…
Absolutely magic video. Multi million dollar Block busters don’t do for me what little reflections on a persons reality like this one can do. Somehow took me right back to the proper pace of life that’s so hard to find until you get out west.
I’ve never been to Bere island. So beautiful and intoxicatingly so in the weather you found.
Your gear is so tidy and light. Less is more. I’m always learning.
The mortello towers are intriguing because they’re made in the local dry stone wall style rather than cut granite like in Dublin.
“A few ideas but no fixed plan for the day”
There’s a motto to travel by. Thanks for sharing as always.
Thanks Robin!! You seem to find similar places of solitude when you take your boat (whatever the correct term is!) and overlander to off the beaten track places! Always a pleasure to find these places. I thought Bere would have been a place you had visited. On my way into the Lighthouse Cinema here for some other escapism 🤗
‘Boat’ is perfectly correct, ‘escape’ would also be descriptively accurate😂 enjoy your escapism.
All good Miriam? You are my 'go to' video when I get homesick.
@@kevinmcquade2154 All pretty good thanks Kevin! Finished a 10k yesterday which I’m chuffed about. Nursing a sore knee but hopeful I’ll get it right again soon enough 🤞 I hope the homesickness isn’t too bad for you!!
This is soooooo gorgeous Miriam! Wow that beach... And the hillside camp spot too, your tent like that, what a view. Just gorgeous. What a super trip. It is lovely to see you doing this again looking so HAPPY. And it always me smile to see what you do and see so many things so similar with what I do, when you did that sandwich I thought oh look my red sitmat! you are making food on it just like I do... haha. And your hair is awesome! So great, love it! Yay. Keep going us and keep going everyone x x x x x
Thank you Susanna!! 🤗 I was surprised how much this island offered - such a relaxed and lovely spot, it certainly delivered! That beach was fab - I should have hopped in the water that morning but I thought I’d save it until later in the day and then the opportunity escaped! 🤦♀️ The red sitmat is always close to hand (and bum!) - I’ve lost a few over the years!! I’m feeling a lot better these days and I’m back jogging and building up some better fitness at last 🥳 The hair is definitely growing and I’ve developed the infamous chemo curls…it’s great to have hair again! You take care whatever you’re up to these days and I look forward to chapter 2 of your Sweden trip 🤩 Thanks!! xx
Great video Miriam. Very jealous.Thanks.
Thanks very much Joe 🤩
Great video, wonderful scenery.
@@divild1 thanks very much Dom 🤗
Good to see you out and about 😊
Thanks very much David! 🙏 Really nice to be able to get out and about again for sure!! 🤗
Perfect weather for you Miriam. Another Lovely video. Great to see you out on the Brompton.
It certainly was Chris! Let’s hope we have plenty more blue sky days like that 🤞 Great to get out on the Brompton again, it did well!! 🤗
Just what the doctor ordered not only for you but the viewers. 🚴🚴🚴
Ah thanks Gerard! I hope you enjoyed the views - thanks so much for watching it and your message 😎
Absolutely wonderful Miriam, beautiful showcasing of your adventure great editing all together and most importantly what a wonderful happy energy of you 🧡 Thank you for sharing see you on the trail 😊🧡
Hi Jens! Cheers for watching this and your message 🙏 So nice to get away with the fine weather and explore this lovely island…I loved it! I adore that island feeling of somehow being a bit further away from normal life! I hope you’re enjoying the Summer - catch you soon 😎
@@MiriamKennedy yes these places can take us more away from reality but is that perhaps not the reason why we go there ?! 😉😊🧡🧡🧡🧡
@@inkedgermanexplorer a more appealing reality for sure 😊
Great to see and hear you on your travels in such lovely places Miriam, thank you once again. All the very best 💚🙏😎
Thanks very much Michael! Glad I didn’t bore you too much 🤗
@@MiriamKennedy 😂🤣 Dear Miriam, you are not at all boring in any way or fashion!, you're an absolute pleasure to watch and listen to x 🥰
@@michaelhawkins7995 😂 ah thanks!!
Another brilliant video :)
@@simonfoster398 shucks…thanks very much Simon 🤗
Beautiful video, Miriam. The clip of you walking into the sea at the sandy beach was magical.
You have a really soothing voice btw!
@@MsChipmonkey awww thank you!! 😍 It would have been a great spot to have a full dip in fairness - the whole place to myself! Thanks very much for your lovely message 🙏
What a gorgeous island and the weather was stunning. That campsite first night looked amazing. Great work as always Miriam.
Cheers!! It’s such a nice island to visit and explore. I loved it…a stunning little camp spot - I couldn’t have dreamt of better 🤗
@@MiriamKennedy gonna have to get down that direction again soon myself, you're always giving me ideas 😁
@TheWanderingIrishman good stuff!! 😎
Great video and great to see you enjoying it.
Thanks very much Patrick! So nice to be able to do it 🤗
Another cracking video, good to see you back and looking well 👍
@@davidharris4062 thanks very much David! I’m feeling very well too which is fab 😊 Thanks a million for your lovely message!!
@@MiriamKennedy that’s not a problem, take care and I’m looking forward to seeing more of your adventures 👍
Some lovely drone footage Miriam. We are heading down to Kerry next week - wish I had more time to explore some of the Islands.
@@babcockandbobbins thanks Bob! Lucky you heading down to Kerry next week 🤗 Hope you have a wonderful time and that the weather is kind and allows you to see plenty! 😎 Enjoy it!!
Great to catch up with your latest marvellous offering Miriam. I have been cycling on the Brompton from IJmuiden to Amsterdam recently and didn't find any time to devote to TH-cam. Since then, I had a wee accident and fell off the bike fracturing some bone in my elbow. It was a pity as I had intended on cycling the D-Day Beaches in Normandy before travelling back home by way of Ireland: the Cherbourg-Rosslare ferry, then trains / bus / ferry / and bus to Glasgow. Your video as always has lifted my spirits after my travails and I continue to marvel over your technical abilities in producing such videos in the face of all difficulties. You are an inspiration indeed !
@@Grangeburn Hi Michael - so sorry to hear about your recent accident. That sounds so horribly painful 😮 Such a shame you didn’t get to continue on the route you planned - I know you had been dreaming and planning that one for quite a while! 🤦♀️ I hope you’re recovering well and feeling some healing in the elbow at this stage. What a drag that must have been for you. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch this little trip - another lovely little island to have seen! I’ve been laying low nursing a knee injury over the past few weeks…hopefully I’ve the right exercises to rehab it now. Healing from the war wounds definitely takes a lot longer than it did a few years ago 😇 Wishing you well!!
Hi Miriam so happy to see you on your beautiful adventures again and great to see you are making a good recovery. Thank you for sharing your video of such a beautiful location really enjoyed the video
@@johncarnahan4067 Hi John! Thanks so much for your message and for taking the time to watch the video 🤩 I’m feeling very well which is so good to be able to say!! Fingers crossed I’ll get back out with the camera again and have some more fun soon! Take good care 😊
No scone and jam safe with you in town 😂. Great wee adventure Miriam, I loved the Martello towers and lighthouse, must visit. Thanks
@@tullycottage367 😂😂😂 I’m a sucker for some blackberry jam!! It’s a lovely spot Colin - lots of history and wonderful sights to entertain, you’d love it!! Hope all is well 🤗
Ooh, just discovered I missed this I was so busy editing😂, darn it I’m already supposed to be asleep but can’t wait to watch this tomorrow 👍🙏
Ha!!! 😂 I hope it does your local island some justice 🤞 Such a great spot to visit - I loved it! 😎
Great video Miriam..you were really lucky with the weather..
Thanks very much Caroline! The weather forecast certainly played ball for this little trip 🤩 It made all the difference. Cheers for your message!! 😊
Awesome video 👏 Great to see you back out Miriam. Miss your video's. Hope you're feeling stronger 💚
@@kevintipper9267 thank you Kevin! 🤗 I’m feeling a good bit stronger thanks, still a few niggles and bothersome aspects but they’re really not holding me back now…I’ve no excuses 😉
Just watched this and your other recent videos, stunning footage and great to see you back! :)
@@spillanemike Thanks very much Mike! 🤗 It’s lovely to be getting out and about again….thanks so much for your message 🙏
Excellent film! My dad came from Bere Island. I now live in Germany. Really enjoyed the show. Drone shots amazing! My sis lives where your camped on the first night. Thanks you so very much for making this movie. It made my day!! Slan Tony
Hi Tony! So lovely to hear from you 🤗 That's such a compliment to hear you enjoyed watching the video with family being from the island....it made my day to read your comment! To think that you got some pleasure from it...wow!! Thanks so much for letting me know 😎 It’s a very special place!
Nice little series of utube even had a book of Amy Liptrop.
Good to see you are recovering well.
Many thanks
@@colinmexcellentcommentary7609 well spotted! It’s not often I bring a book along when I bring the camera but I’d hoped for some more tent time…far too much for me to see on the island! I’m feeling pretty good - plenty of aches and pains but can’t grumble too much!! 😉 Cheers for your message Colin 🙏
As so many have said, Miriam, another joyful, soulful, gentle film. And as so many others have said, your ability to engage and communicate with your viewers so naturally, is wonderful. Thank you.
Thank you very much John, that’s lovely ❤️
Miriam! Go on ya good thing! A sausage sambo on that beach and sunrise...... wow! What do you do when it gets dark?...podcast? Book? Phone?.......drone footage was yeah!!!!!!! Absolutely beautiful scenery Miriam!
@@faulknertkd the aul sausage sambo adds a special element to a trip for sure!! 🤩 I often bring a book but hardly ever read anything…the night just escapes…by the time it gets dark in the Summertime I’m ready for sleep. In the winter I just potter around - cooking, drinking tea, dunking biscuits, sorting my stuff out, sitting there with a smug grin at how great it is to be in a tent!! It’s amazing how the time passes!! Just sitting in the tent or staring out of the tent brings plenty of entertainment 😊
I like solitude myself, calms the mind, I discovered wim Hoff breathing a good while ago and his cold water therapy.....cold showers and it works for me! Gary Brika recommends it ! Yeah I get it , when you walk a long time with your thoughts you do get tired! Miriam try this one.... when you want to quieten the mind ask yourself this question "I wonder what my next thought will be?" Let me know how you get on 😮
@faulknertkd I’ve been a meditator for nearly 30 years so I’m well used to watching my mind at work 😉 Great that you get such benefit from the cold water work - so many sing its praises! My interest in camping started with my desire for solitude - a wonderful opportunity to get away from the trappings of life for sure!! The novelty hasn’t worn off for me after years of it - it still works!! 🤩
Pleased to see you in good form. Happy days Miriam.
Thanks Kevin 🤗 The sunshine definitely helps lift the spirit 😉
Uwielbiam😍
Dziękuję bardzo 🙂
Miriam Columbus discovers a new world and thankfully has a drone for some more great shots. With that weather and peacefulness it looked like the best place in the world. Seemed to be increasing your brain waves too!
😂😂 yep the solitude makes me very brainy!! Watch out world for any longer trips that I might do 🤩 So peaceful as you said - I never realised it could be so nice. Thanks for watching this one and I hope things are going well for you at the moment 😎
@@MiriamKennedy Hi Miriam. I'm currently trying Shilajit for my CFS and I've actually started to try some home exercise to see if I can push through the fatigue. Will need longer to see if it might be working but just being able now to attempt some exercise is better than normal. If I get just even normal energy back it would feel like I have the potential to have a life again. I was talking to guy who walks in the local countryside where I go but he walks to fast for me and I said I liked to take in and enjoy the beautiful countryside and he replied " I couldn't give a shit about it". Horses for courses I guess. He was just walking to walk. Not us. Weather seems to affect me a lot and walking in the sun really feels nice. I still cycle too but generally ache a lot with that if any distance. It seems life is largely about being ill lol.
Awwww - I hope it gives you a great boost and changes some things for you, it sounds very tough. That guys comment was hilarious!! Horses for courses for sure 😂 I hope we get some continued warm weather this Summer and that you get the benefits of that!! 🤞
Brilliant as usual, great to see you looking so well. I've camped there before - a very special place. You picked better camp spots than me though :)
@@DavidHickey cheers David! Great to hear you’ve camped there before 🤗 A very special place as you said! I got lucky with my camp spots for sure 😉 It’s great to be feeling good again!! Thanks so much 😎
Thank you for this fabulous video Miriam great to see you looking so good. Couldn’t wait to watch this one, I could listen to your voice all day, no sound track required lol,so very pleased for you.can’t wait to see the next one.
Awww thank you 🙏 I certainly talked a lot to camera on this one for some reason! I hope you’ve been enjoying your Brompton by the way!! 🤗 Thanks for your message!
I absolutely love Bere Island. I spent many days there with the FCA or the Army Reserve as it is now called. I got to zip line across the strand where you camped, shoot on the range & go fishing off the rocks. The history of the island is unreal from Vikings using it as a base & somewhere to repair their long boats, the Martello towers you mentioned & of course Loneheart battery which is a huge fort built by the British to defend their fleet. The whole island has the most incredible vibe that it is simply indescribable but you certainly nailed it. Thank you. Keep up the great work.
@@gerharold264 thanks Ger! Great to hear from another fan of the island 😊 There is so much amazing history as you rightly said - a very special place. I found the vibe of the island to be very welcoming, safe and serene…another bit of heaven just off the coastline ❤️ I loved it!! Thanks for your message 🙏
Simply beautiful you do the area full justice. An absolute joy to watch.
@@bumbleo8993 that’s lovely of you to say!! Thank you 🤗
I like the way you told us about your bike at the end Miriam. Yes, a top time out on what was a most beautiful island. A full view my friend - loved it as always. I hope you're well. Mark
Thanks very much Mark! Very glad the bike made it home with me again 😉 A nice and easy one (apart from the hills!) I’m doing pretty good thanks and finding my way with some little challenges. I hope all is well with you and that you’re feeling good! 😊
@@MiriamKennedy A pleasure Miriam. Yeah, it's a cool useful bike too. I saw that it was easy - change of plans to make it easier back even. Good to hear you're well and adapting. Me? Overcoming in jury - it's been a long one. Peace.
A bloody long one for you Mark 😕
@@MiriamKennedy I know Miriam - had an x-ray-bloody arthritis in my ankle of all places. It's an old injury, which was really bad at the time. I'm getting a handle on it.
Aww no Mark, sorry to hear that! 🤦♀️
Another great video that makes me want to be there. I have only ever explored Arranmore and Bere Islands but its been a long time since I was last at Bere so good to get a refresher 😊
@@GregAdventure thanks Greg! A lovely island for a visit, not sure if much will have changed since your last visit…an absolute pleasure to ramble around and explore in the fine weather 😊
@MiriamKennedy well it is about 20 years so something has changed. The hostel had just opened but it's now Lawrence Cove Lodge. I have certnally been in Glengarriff many times since. I must take Kathy there some day soon.
I hope you enjoy it if you both go! It was all new to me - a nice little surprise 🤗
@MiriamKennedy we went to Arranmore earlier this year with bikes but mist & rain spoilt any camera work but still had fun. Sunshine helps 😉
@@GregAdventureawwwww 😢 It definitely does!!
Welcome back Miriam , thank you for a brilliant video. May the wind be always at your back .
Thanks Valerie - lovely to hear you enjoyed it!! 🙏
Super late to pop a comment on here Miriam, I actually watched this the night it came online, on the big tv, where there are no comment options - then life got busy and I totes forgot. Better late than never ay? Lol. And how full of sparkle were you on this trip to Bere Island 😁You do research some amazing areas to visit, and this one was no exception. What a fantastic place, with so much to explore on so compact an island, and the best way to do it is by bike, even if it's hard going at times. And some beautiful drone work, as always.
It's a good idea strapping the backpack to your Brompton - I always worry I'm going to encounter a locked gate when I'm out bikepacking on the e-bike, then having to take the panniers off, and the e-bike is pretty heavy for lifting over fences (I haven't had to do that yet). Brompton life looks a lot more carefree lol. And easier to stash - like a body 🤣🤣
I'd never heard of Martello Towers before, but they look really interesting.
Another extremely enjoyable watch. They all are. Ireland has so much to offer and I love it when we get to see these smaller islands first hand. Thanks Miriam 😁👍🏼
Hi Donna! Lovely to hear from you 🤩 Cheers for your message 🙏 Bere island was lovely - a long time on the hit list and it certainly didn’t disappoint in what it offered. Those hills and gates made me work but the long days helped make it a chilled adventure overall 😉 I haven’t been out since then although I’m out this weekend with a work friend who is doing her first wild camp having bought herself some gear….that should be fun! I hope all is well with you!! 😊
Welcome back! You’re such an inspiration. Ireland is so very beautiful! I bike vicariously, through you as there is no where in California as gorgeous as where you take us on your Brompton tours. Looking forward to the next. Hope all is well with you! ❤
Thanks very much Denice! You have such wonderful beauty in California I’m sure 😊 Very nice to hear that you enjoy seeing some of what Ireland has to offer…super nice to hear 🙏
Always a delight to share your adventures. Beautiful photography thank you.
Thanks very much Rob 😊
Terrific!! Well done Miriam, always glad to see you are on the road again and it's a privilege to be able to come along. 😊
An absolute privilege for me that you came along 🤩 Thanks so much! 🙏
Love it. Beautiful scenery and music. Slow travel at its best. Thank you
Thanks Jo! 🙏 Certainly a nice way to spend a few days!
Gracias por dejarnos viajar contigo a esos lugares que nunca tendré oportunidad de ver. Haces un buen trabajo y tengo la sensación de estar ahí cuando veo tus vídeos
Muchas gracias por acompañarme! Es realmente agradable saber que sentiste que estabas allí 🤩
What an amazing Island. So blue and green. Love the timelaps from the beautiful beach and the awsome Droneshots. For sure a great time in wonderful nature. This is the good life. Enjoy rest of the summer. Søren ❤❤❤
Thank you Søren - fingers crossed we’ll get some more sunny days this Summer 🤞It was lovely to have that little beach to myself, a real treasure!
Wonderful excursion. You are quite adept at finding perfect spots to wild camp.
Your film making is superb, I can feel the atmosphere and beauty of the island.
Glad to see you healthy and back at doing what you love.
Peter from Florida (actually now in Stornoway after completing the Hebridean Way on my Brompton)
Oh my god Peter!! How wonderful 🤗 Congratulations on completing the Hebridean Way…that must have been a marvellous experience - did the Brompton handle the terrain ok? Thanks very much for watching my little trip, you’re very good!! Safe journey back to Florida now 😎
Thank you for the wonderful tour of that beautiful island, Miriam. Always look forward to your adventures. You amaze me at the amount of strength and endurance you have with all you have been through over the last year. Your videos are so relaxing. Thanks for taking us along.
@@BiznessWizard thanks for taking a look Denis!! It was a lovely spot to visit - I thoroughly enjoyed it and found the hills tough on the bike. I’ve been back jogging for the past few weeks and I’ve signed up for a 10k in 2 more weeks time so it’s been great to have that as a focus to build up my stamina again! It’s working at last 😉
Love those landscapes! Great video because I felt I was visiting the island myself 🙂
That’s great to hear! It’s a lovely island to visit and thank you for joining me 🤗
Miriam Kennedy, you’re back! With sausages!
Wahoooo!! That was a whopper of a sausage that was leftover from a BBQ from a few weeks ago. I parboiled the sausage and stuck it in the freezer to bring with me on a trip....it worked a treat!! At least I knew it was cooked right through when I cooked it on my little pan 😎
What a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing your multimodal journey with us. 🙏
Thanks for coming along with me 🤩 A wonderful travel companion 😎
Absolutely delightful! Thank you!
Thanks very much John 🙏
Dear Miriam,
Thank you so much for another incredible video❤
You are such an inspiration!
Beautifull nature❤
Thanks so much for watching it Mirjam ❤️😍
Loved seeing this one Miriam. Reminds me if my kayaking days on the west coast of Scotland. Thank you for the time you take to make these videos. Glad to see you looking so well
Thanks so much Brenda! What lovely memories you must have from kayaking on the west coast of Scotland 😊 A big thank you for your support in watching this and your lovely message ❤️

Miriam! Just gorgeous, relaxing, beautiful adventure
Awww thanks Audrey 😍 A lovely chilled escape that I thoroughly enjoyed 🤗
outro shovel session for the win
😂😂 while digging a hole I realised I’ve never seen it in a video so decided to capture the moment!! 😎
Lovely to see you out and about again and in such lovely weather!! Always enjoy your videos and your smile makes my day.
Ha! Thank you Alex 😁 Delighted to hear you enjoyed the video and that weather was so nice to be in....lets hope we get some more sunny days this Summer 🤞
Stunning Island and Beautiful weather. So glad you had such an adventure.
Thank you!! It was a fab place to visit - the weather was certainly very kind 😄
Yet another beautiful film. Here Island certainly looks a tranquil place. Thanks and looking forward to your next adventure!
Thanks a million 🤗 It really was so quiet - I’d imagine it might be busier in July and August or at the weekends. Nice to experience!!
Tus videos transmiten paz y libertad. Enhorabuena
Es muy agradable saber que ves eso! Muchas gracias 🙏
Lovely to see you back adventuring. Stunning drone footage.
Thank you 🙏 The drone is such a powerful little machine, I'm still amazed at what it can do. Many thanks for your message 🤗
Great to see you back miriam just made my day health & happiness to you for many more years to come look after yourself and take care thanks again for another beautiful video
Thanks very much Peter 🙏 Hope all is well with you!
Another wonderful video. Great to see you again. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks Dick! I hope you're doing well with your healing journey too 😊
Such a beautiful and unique place, as always flawless storytelling! 👏
Such a wonderful scenery 🔥
Thank you Ervin! Really nice landscape to spend some time - I loved it 😊
Fantastic to see you are enjoying adventuring again😀 The scenery is absolutely stunning. Looking forward to your next adventure😀
Thank you Yvonne!! Such a nice area - breathtaking in every direction 😎 Cheers for your support!
Great to see you out adventuring far and wide. Another fantastic video, thanks for sharing this inspiring content.
Thanks very much James for watching this and your lovely message 🙏
Fantastic to see you back out on another amazing adventure, the island looks to beautiful ❤xx
Thank you very much Leanne 🤗 Oh it’s very beautiful for sure - a really nice place to visit and explore! 😍
Great to see you Miriam, looks beautiful. Love watching ❤❤.
Thanks very much Alan! The blue skies were a great companion to have along the way 😊
Great to see you out and about again beautiful film and Ireland is definitely on my bucket list
Hi Peter, cheers for your message and I hope you’re keeping well! Ireland would love to have you over ☘️ 😎 Thanks!!
Stunning Miriam, serene watch. No midges in that part of Ireland?
Thanks Ed! 🤩 The first night had a small amount at the beach but not enough for me to even get my spray or net from my bag. The second night had none and there was very little breeze also. We’re nothing like Scotland - they can be bad but I could count on one hand the amount of times they’ve interfered with a trip away to be honest 😉
Nice ending! Digging a cat hole! Always like your videos
Ha!! The unmentionable 🤩 Thanks very much Graham!
Looked a perfect few days Miriam (such a beautiful and laidback island 😊👌🏻) some lovely cinematic shots too (stunning light )thanks for bringing us along
🤠👍 Simon
Thanks Simon! The good weather coming out to play helped make this trip even more enjoyable 🤩 Cheers for your message!!
My day always brightens when I'm notified of another Miriam video. This one was excellent. I detect a slightly more' laid back' and 'as it comes' sort of attitude which I like. This would be my default setting for bike rides anyway - planning is not one of my strong points. I enjoy the excitement of not knowing where I'm going.
I hope you're okay now Miriam?
Thanks very much Jeremy! I definitely enjoy a more relaxed style to my trips but I’m possibly less relaxed when I bring the camera along. In saying that - I was maybe able to be a bit more relaxed on this one, possibly as I know I’m not firing on all cylinders 🤔 Without the camera I definitely relax more, I find it hard to completely shut down the brain with the camera. Maybe that’ll come with experience, I do know I seemed to talk to camera a lot more on this one for some reason, no idea why 🤷♀️ I’m doing pretty good - still some ongoing treatment (targeted treatment where I get an injection once every 3 weeks for a year and a hormone treatment of a tablet a day for the next 5 years). I seem to be doing pretty well with the side effects of those to date! 😉
@@MiriamKennedy Thanks for such a thorough response Miriam. I can understand why having the camera with you causes a little more anxiety but watching your videos, you wouldn't know it! I would guess that your 'easy manner' when talking 'to camera' has come as a surprise to you and it's certainly a joy for us. You are 'a natural' Miriam and that's one of the reasons why your videos are so enjoyable. I'm pleased to here that your recovery is going well. Best wishes.
Thanks for that Jeremy ❤️
So happy to see you and glad the weather was so wonderful :)
Hi Melissa - thank you! The weather really made this trip for me 😊
Wonderful video Miriam. I had no idea Bere Island is as big as that. It’s definitely worth a visit at some stage. It’s great to see you looking so well. Your hair really suits you like that. I hope your health continues on a very positive trajectory. Thanks for all of the time and effort you put into these videos - the combination of scenery, music and your easy going commentary are almost therapeutic!
@@chelladugg Hi Richella! Thank you for your lovely message 🤩 Yes Bere island was surprisingly big to me too - it certainly had plenty for me to see, unfortunately some of those things were at the top of hills 😇 Such a lovely place though. So nice to take the camera along and that anyone would take a look at the video - makes it very worthwhile 🤗 I hope you’re enjoying the long days, I certainly am! Thanks again Richella xx
Good to see you on your adventures again 😊 very inspiring 💚
Thank you!! And thanks for watching the video and your message 🙏 Great to get out and about again 🤗
What a fantastic video Miriam. Looks like an idyllic island and so quiet. Lovely to see you out and about on your bike again x
Aww thank you Heather! 😍 Yes, the island was very quiet - I'd imagine it will be busier at the weekends and possibly during the week in July and August too. Luckily I managed to get over without many other visitors being around 😉 Thanks so much for your message!
I guess I shouldn’t expect the lovely things you see and do Miriam, they always hit the spot.
I like the idea not to do certain things and chill, sometimes doing very little is the best thing you can do if you are in the right place .
Also leaving things until another possible time is a good move , there is an anxiety sometimes in trying to do everything you originally set out to do that detracts from enjoyment
As usual love what you do / Danny K x
Hi Danny! Yes - it was pretty easy for me not to push myself to do the additional looped walk in fairness, I was only regretting that I'd said it to camera 🙃 It would have killed the enjoyment for me - I was tired enough after day 2 anyway 🤭 Thanks very much Danny - take good care xx
😂you digging the whole at the end😂👍
😲🫣😂 real life in nature!!
Looking forward to this one 😀
Tonight's watching
Fingers crossed that you enjoy it Joe! Thanks 🤩
Thanks for the nice video, I really enjoyed it. 👍
Thanks so much for watching it 🙏
Really enjoyed your video, I agree that taking the easier route is sometimes the best option. Such a relaxed stay on the island and no midges as far as I can see, mind the wind helps keep them away. Thanks as always for taking the trouble t take us along ATB Big Dave Scotland
Thanks Dave! My first night at the beach at some midges, not bad though. I had my net and spray but didn’t even bother getting them out. The second night was completely clear 🎉 Very glad you took the time to watch the video - thanks 🤗
Blessings to ye Miriam , glad to see you're out about again. Have a great summer !
Thank you!! Hope you have a great Summer too - nice to have these longer days (although its all downhill from now!!) 🤭
Great too see your back Miriam , hope your keeping WELL🍀
Hi Ian - thanks very much! I’m doing pretty well thanks 🤩 Trying to find my mojo again!! 🤗
So good to see you back and out there camping and biking. The island looks a lovely pace. I hope it did you good.
Thank you!! The trip certainly gave me plenty - I had a good workout but also some relaxing time when I wasn’t rushing around the place chasing cameras 🤗
Such a lovely video and good to see you looking so well :)
Thank you David 🙏 Time is definitely helping...its nearly 4 months since the end of chemo and 3 months since surgery. Still a few things knocking about but generally I'm feeling very good!!
You certainly got the weather for it, beautiful video, as always. Spectacular scenery. Was down that way in May, a lot to discover there. Keep up with the adventures. Stay well.
Thank you Aileen! Such a great area as you know...so much to discover is right! 😊 Yep, thankfully the weather predictions played ball for this one 😉
The island looks really bonny. A great place to visit, it's now on my list. 👍😁
A worthy entry for your list!! 😉 A really great place to visit and explore. Cheers for watching it!
Great video Miriam. There's something about putting your bike on a boat that makes it more of an adventure 🙂
You’re so right Jules! Even for only a 20 minute ferry ride it definitely added to the adventure and magic of it all 🤩 Thanks!!
Since your last video I have made my trip to southwest Ireland and back - and plotting a return. I was also in Castletown, closest to Bere Island. It was all so beautiful and wonderous. It was quite an experience for this landlocked Coloradan. "the ocean unknits the mind," John ODonohue🌊
Oh wonderful Carol! It sounds like you had a very positive experience on your trip....I hope the plotting is going well for you now!! Thats a lovely quote from John ODonohue - I'm continuously drawn back to spending time next to the west coast anyway, I love it! In fairness it doesn't take me too much time to get to the coast so I know how lucky I am. I hope you make it back over here for another trip! 🤞
A lovely chilled video Miriam and you really got great weather. Looks like an interesting place with plenty to see and spots to stop. Id be keen to know if Murphy's do ice cream? Might be an essential in sunny weather. Lol. Beautiful video Miriam. Really well put together, beautifully shot, great chat too. Thanks for takin us along
There will be no more sun until April 2025 Alyn 🤫 I’m pretty sure Murphy’s does have ice cream and the Heritage Centre had a fridge with ice cream too! 😇 Cheers for watching this and your message 🙏
