Inishbofin Island - Wild Camping & Hiking
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 พ.ค. 2022
- A visit to Inishbofin Island off the coast of Galway to explore the island and wild camp for the night. I caught a boat from Cleggan Pier in Galway at 2pm on a sunny Saturday afternoon to make the 35 minute journey over to the island. My return journey was at 1pm the following day. Inishbofin has many wonderful sights to keep you entertained - fantastic cliffs, birdlife, beaches, coves and plenty of solitude. Yet another island that is worth many visits!

ogni viaggio che fai riesci a stupirmi per i luoghi che vai a visitare ,sono unici.. sara che amo la natura e il ritrovarmi con me stesso e possibilmente senza essere umani intorno
Grazie! Sono molto fortunata a vivere in un paese dove ci sono posti così belli senza nessuno in giro... molto fortunata!! Sono molto contento che ti sia piaciuta questa incantevole isola 🙂
Loved this!! Amazing photography!!! The perfect weather you had certainly makes Inishbofin photgenic. Thanks for yet another brilliant video!
Thank you!! Oh the good weather certainly made Inishbofin very easy to show off 😎 A great place to visit for a wander and to camp, I loved it! I was over on Gola island off Donegal on Saturday night, my first time there and yet another really nice spot! Thanks for watching this one and your lovely message 😊
Sungguh menakjubkan, membuat saya ingin kesana,.. dari Indonesia 🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨
Senang mendengar! Terima kasih banyak untuk menonton dan menghubungi. Semoga suatu hari Anda akan mengunjungi 🙂
Glory be to God,Almighty...Miriam ur video is spectacular!!!thnx for sharing the wonderful sights....the Sun,the Cove...wonderful climate...go girl...🇸🇬from Singapore...👀🤭🤗👌
Hi Ramdan - thanks for watching this video all the way over in Singapore and great to hear you enjoyed it! It really is a wonderful place to visit and I thoroughly enjoyed spending some time there.Thanks again 🤗
Spectacular indeed Miriam, what a beautiful Island... I know what you mean about ‘keep stopping’ , I’m the same in the Scottish highlands, I find myself pulling over every few minutes to take in the beauty....aren’t we Lucky eh 🥰⭐️🌞
It’s not a bad complaint to have for sure David 😉 Lovely to hear you enjoyed seeing Inishbofin, I had a great time! Thanks for watching and your message. I’m writing this from another lovely spot in my tent…utterly spoilt we are!! 😊
Wow, truly spectaular footage!!
Thanks very much - great to hear you enjoyed it! Such a nice place to visit 😊
Irish landscape... what a contrast to Sussex. Ideal for drones. I need to get me one of them drone! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!! The drone is great fun, helps show off the lovely landscape for sure 😊 The type I have isn’t great for a bike, some of them you can programme them to follow you, mine doesn’t. When I lose or smash my current one, I’d upgrade to one of those…🙃
Wonderful video & photo's keep safe & enjoy
Thanks Peter for your message! Really nice to hear you enjoyed it 😎
Hello? It’s a nice and relaxing tour. The weather is so good 😃Thank you for sharing. Have a great day 😊
Thanks for watching! Very glad you enjoyed the video. Enjoy your day too! 😊
Wow Mirzo
Cheers Jo-Jo….the weather gods were on my side for this one!! A lovely spot 😊
Hello my dear..
Great video and journey 😍😍
Amazing landscape 🥰🥰
Greetings from Pacific ❤️🙏
Lovely to hear that you enjoyed this video! It was such a nice place to explore and spend some time 😊 Thanks so much for your message! 👍
My wanderlust seems to be impacting my heart rate as I watch this stunning film. Sooooo well done!
I’m sincerely grateful that you’ve given me this wonderful distraction from the stress I’m feeling at the moment. For that brief 15 minutes I felt relief, you’ve captured that paradise beautifully.
Thing I love about your wild camping videos is that there is no stress about trespassing or breaking bylaws, you’d think that would be the case here but it’s certainly not.
You’ve seen a little of my area, it’s all private land, all of it. Municipal governments don’t want wild campers, nor do private land owners. Plus I’m simply not as brave as you, that’s a fact!
My very best to you, with sincere thanks once again,
Cheers,
Rick
Thanks very much Rick! Hope the heart rate is beginning to settle now 😮 Sorry to hear you've been experiencing stress but great you found a little gateway to some relief...not nice to experience. These little trips are big stress busters for me - I leave everything behind when I head off. Its usually just for one night but it seems to do the trick, until the next time I get an urge to jump again! Hiking definitely opens up more remote and wild places for me to go (as opposed to the bike) - once I left the pier I saw no one. There were no houses or farms near me, even if there was private land, I wouldn't have known who an owner was. To be honest - camping wild is so uncommon here but no one would have sight of me at all in these places. I feel very lucky that I can escape to nature like this...my big love is the tent, the novelty hasn't worn off for me at all!! 😊 An endless list of places for me to explore over here still...thanks for watching and your message! Take Care 👍
Great video Miriam, thanks. I enjoyed the candid bit about your discovery of wild camping and you have a lovely way about you!
Thanks very much Derek - I know you’re a fellow Hubba Hubba fan 😉 A lovely little trip away and yep once I started wild camping I haven’t stopped..it’s where I feel most content and satisfied in life, a wonderful gift to have found! Thanks for watching the video and your message!! 😎
@@MiriamKennedy Yes the Hubba hubba ! It really is a case of "The truth is out there" huh...spending the night outside like you do is a beautiful way to awaken - which you clearly are (awake) :)
The quest continues Derek 🙃
We love your movies :)
Ah thanks very much Kris & Izabel - I really like what you guys get up to too! Thanks for your message! 😍
Love the scenery, love the mood, love the drone shots, love how natural your commentary is, love your passion and drive. Go girl!
Thanks very much Martin! Glad you enjoyed it - a wonderful place to visit 😊 I really enjoyed it too, my favourite kind of trip - a bit of effort but not too much and beautiful landscape to be in with no other people either being a bonus 😎
You’re killing it with those drone shots Miriam , some of those clips are up there with the best of them , really superb footage . You’ve sold me innishbofin , now planning a trip . Think you could nearly do a couple of nights to appreciate the rugged beauty . Great stuff as always Miriam . 👍🏻👌🏻Colin
Cheers Colin! Yes, you could definitely do a couple of nights. I raced around and didn't get to see everything but I managed to pack in a good bit. A more leisurely pace would allow you more time to appreciate it for sure! A lovely spot - you'd love it 😎👍
Really nice video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much for watching Rich 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed it, it’s a very beautiful spot to visit 👍
Awesome, as usual, Miriam
Thanks Tess! Another one of our lovely islands 😉
Brilliant video again Miriam, a stunning place! That opening sequence was great, fair play to you. I'm in Clifden every year so Inishbofin is definitely on my list after watching this. Take care!
Thanks John! Clifden is obviously working its magic on you - Inishbofin is well worth a day trip or a stopover. Hope you enjoy your visit! Thanks for watching and your message - it really is a stunning place!
❤
Cheers 😉
Magnificent! That simple really, magnificent Miriam. The intro music is something I now have to find! I hope you found the Hands and Patterns videos here that I mentioned in another of your videos. All the best from Austria😊
Thank you!! Such a great little trip that was 😊 How I would love to spend more time wandering our islands. This Summer I'll hopefully make time to spend a longer time in island life rather than rushing off after a night or two. The intro music is Ghosts of the Rail by Gabriel Lewis if that's any help. I haven't checked out more of the show you mentioned yet I must admit!! 🙃
You’re a gifted storyteller Miriam - both visually & through words. Delighted to watch your adventures & listen to your gentle Irish brogue. ☮️&💟 from Sydney.
Thanks very much Franny - that’s very kind of you to say! Great that you’re watching these videos over in Australia - the magic of the internet 😊 It was a great adventure to go on and lovely to have you join me to get a flavour of how nice a place it is. Hope all well in Sydney - coming in to your winter now I imagine. Thanks again ☘️
beautiful, amazing place! Happy cycling
Thank you!! Yes, it really is a beautiful island. So nice to visit and spend some time. Thanks for watching and your message 😊
@@MiriamKennedy later you can come paddling in Malaysia. there are very interesting and beautiful places
STUNNING. Cheers from Cornwall.
Thanks Paul - a lovely little trip, just seeing the thumbnail thugs on my heartstrings 😊 Thanks for your message!!
@@MiriamKennedy Great channel .... don't 'stay safe' , 'take risks'.
😂👍
Yet again fabulous hills and coastal places,
Really want to visit lol,
You have done some inspiring videos showing the best places,
I must have a few days in the remote spots of Scotland it’s hard with two kids to fit a few days in,
Keep em coming
Cheers!! Definitely very hard to manage as a family man, I’m a single woman with no kids so I’ve no excuses to not get away when I please in fairness. It keeps me entertained and I just love being in a tent as I know you do too (I know you’re a bivy man too) 😎 Just so many fab places to visit…I’m writing this from the west coast while on a cycling trip. I brought the drone and camera but it’s just so beautiful that I haven’t a clue how to capture it!! Eating a cornetto instead 😎
The times I have driven past the sign at Cleggan that indicates the ferry to Inishbofin and thought....well, I must make a point of parking up and and going for a day trip over there. Of course I never got round to it ! But what a beautiful place to amble round, especially off-peak or after the daytrippers have gone back. Another fab video, Miriam. Thank you.
Thanks Jim! That sign will still be there to remind you on another time perhaps 😉 I don’t think I’ve ever visited any of our islands and been disappointed…I’ve been bitten by the bug over the last couple of years on visiting them so hopefully I’ll get out to see another one or two this year. Probably my favourite trips..pretty easy hiking, lots of solitude and usually some nice sights…the off season and lack of day trippers definitely helps too of course like you said! Hope your Ireland trip plans are moving along! Take care over there and thanks for watching and your message 😊
@@MiriamKennedy yes, most accommodation and ferry booked, so plenty of time now for detailed plans with my OS maps and the mountainviews website for other walkers' views on best routes etc. The planning is one of the most enjoyable aspects for me....evn if in the event the itinerary changes some due to variable factors like weather :) Thanks for asking.
@@jimguitarfan yep - a very enjoyable part for me too! 😊
Another wonderful video Miriam
Thank you so much for sharing your experience of camping around our beautiful country ❤
Cheers George! Thanks very much for watching the video 👍 A really nice place to visit and pitch the tent. The great weather made it very easy and enjoyable...so many islands I'd like to visit and camp 😀
Miriam, thank you so much for such a wonderful video. Spectacular! I visited Inishbofin a month ago for a couple of days. I wish I had gone there many years ago. My late grandmother was born and raised on the island. I was able to visit the small, three room home where she lived. What was incredible is that I had an opportunity to actually see the chairs and table that my great grandfather made and where my grandmother, siblings, and parents sat to eat their meals. It gave me the chills.
Hi Jeff - thank you so much for watching this video and your lovely message 😊 What an experience that must have been for you, it sounds like it moved you greatly and thankfully you got there eventually 😉 All our islands are very special - I feel very at home in these places with the sense of solitude they seem to offer! Great you got to visit and feel the presence of your heritage so strongly. Lovely to receive your message!
Miriam, thank you. It was very moving. You probably walked right past my late grandmother's home as it is a couple of doors down from the Galley Restaurant on the East End, two homes from the beach. I can't wait to go back. Do you mind if I share the video on the Inishbofin Descendants Facebook Group that I started 10+ years ago? We have about 1,200 members. Here is my LinkedIn profile-< bit.ly/2luGIp4 It's always great to connect with people there, as well.
Hi Jeff - I'd be honoured for you to share the video, no problem at all. A beautiful place to have a connection with!
Miriam, I posted it to the group. I hope it gets you some more views and engagement. Do you have a Twitter account? I'd like to post it there and give you credit.
@@JeffSheehanMarketer Cheers Jeff 😊 I don’t use Twitter or any other social media to be honest (besides TH-cam). Thanks for your support, it’s very nice of you 👍
Hi Miriam. Stunning from start to finish! What a wonderful and peaceful place! Would love to visit some day👍👍
Hi Des! Thanks very much 🤗 What a lovely little trip it was - all our islands are so nice and a great place to spend some time, I really enjoyed this one! I hope you make it over to visit - I think you’d love it 😊 Not sure if you’re still abroad on your holiers - I hope all is well wherever you are anyway!
@@MiriamKennedy Back in the UK now. I'm fine thanks, but Maria has twisted her knee and is hobbling about using a stick! ☹
@@DesGreene awww Lord 🤦♀️ Wishing Maria a speedy recovery!! 🤞
Hi Miriam, this vid popped up on my recommends on this dark, rainy Friday morning. It's brilliant. So well put together. I love Inishbofin. I've been there several times birdwatching and thought I'd seen it all more or less but this video makes me think I need to spend more time in the North Eastern bit. For such a small island there's so much variation in the landscape. And places where you can get a good coffee! It really is a special place. I hope you've had a good week.
Hi Richella - your message prompted me to look at this video again too! Lovely memories of a lovely trip away, so nice to visit and spend some time in this special place as you said. I have the same feeling on all our islands - not one has ever disappointed me! 😍 I agree with you the island has so much packed in and a worthy place for an overnight trip. All is going pretty well this week (I think!) - I had my first session of chemo on Tuesday so I’ve been adjusting to the new experiences in my body. I got out for a stroll before the rain started earlier and thankfully had my umbrella for when it started, loved it 😊 Thanks for your lovely message Richella and I hope you’re having a good week too! x
@MiriamKennedy It's good to hear treatment has started. I don't have any personal experience of what you're going through, but I can imagine once you get a diagnosis that you probably just want to get on with things. I know you've said in the past that you are never quite sure of your motivation for making these videos, but aren't they great to look back on? I like winter, but I do struggle with the dark evenings - and it really does help to have videos like this to remind me of days in the sun. Around now, I always start counting the days to the winter solstice (63!). By the time the days start to get longer, I hope you'll be well on the road to full health and planning more island hopping. x
@@chelladugg 63 days to winter solstice - amazing!! Yep the videos are great to look back on, it’s just the performance thing of speaking to camera I suppose….don’t mind me, it’s a loop I continuously find myself in around posting videos! I can feel great about it but before long another part of myself comes out to play to sabotage it possibly but maybe it also helps me get clearer on what I really want to do when I use the camera 🤔 I hope the dark evenings will pass easily for you this year🤞 The buzz of long nights in the tent tends to greatly reduce as the winter goes on for me, I’m eventually wishing for the longer daylight hours to hurry along!! Still raining here - all is pretty good though….I really like not working 🤩
@MiriamKennedy I can highly recommend not working! Maybe now is the time for you to consider an early exit strategy. From work, I mean! 😉
@@chelladugg absolutely! 😊
Great video ❤😍😍
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Unglaublich schön 🤩
Vielen Dank! Ja, es ist wirklich ein wunderschöner Ort zum Besuchen und Verweilen. Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen 😎
Hi Miriam, thank you for taking the time and effort to film your trip to Inishbofin. I am so enjoying your videos showcasing the magnificent scenery around Ireland. Super drone montage at the start followed by your story so very well thought out on your edit. I am very particular what I watch on TH-cam but with yourself I know that its quality from start to finish. Thank you once again. ATB Tom
Thanks very much Tom for your lovely message! Thank you for watching the video - that’s a huge bonus for me if anyone is to watch a video and maybe enjoy it! Lovely to hear you enjoyed it 😊 Inishbofin was fab - with weather like that there aren’t too many places in Ireland that aren’t great to be in! Hope all well in your new chateau of a tent 🤗 I so enjoyed my Hubba Hubba on this trip, I hadn’t used it in months between the Access 2 and my new 1 person tent. I was struck how the groundsheet of my Hubba Hubba (an older version) is far superior than the Access 2…with the weight savings they tried to get on the latest Access 2, they compromised quite a few things. I fell in love with my Hubba Hubba again 😊 My other tents all have their purposes still - I actually love them all 😂
Beautiful video from a beautiful place .
Thanks very much Gazza - it really is a beautiful place, I have yet to be disappointed visiting any of the islands off the coast of Ireland. A really nice place to spend some time! 😊
Hi Miriam. Thank you for sharing a wonderful video and showcasing another magical and beautiful part of Ireland 🇮🇪. Long may it continue. Enjoy! Johnny
Thanks Johnny for watching the video and your message 👍 Far too many magical and beautiful places to visit - but it keeps us entertained to try visit a few of them anyway 😉 Loads more islands to visit yet!! Have a good one!
Inishbofin is amazing. The West Quarter hike is breathtaking. The footage is incredible. 9:25 is off the scale. 11:25 shows Inishark in the background. It's long since deserted but boat trips can be arranged from 'Bofin..
I’d imagine it would be worth a visit for sure! All our islands just blow me away. As I write to you I’m in my tent near Cleggan again and watching yet another lovely sunset over the Atlantic 😉
Hi Miriam, this is the first time I've come across your channel and I really enjoyed the super long drone intro with the music .. i got a real feel for the areas you were at as well 👍
Hi Bob - thanks for your message! Lovely to hear you enjoyed the video. It’s a beautiful place to visit and I was lucky to get some nice weather while there, definitely helps to show the place off! Thanks so much again, very nice to hear from you 👍
Another great video Miriam
Thanks Declan for watching - it’s a fab spot and the nice weather definitely helped to show it off! 😉 Lovely to hear that you enjoyed it, thanks for letting me know! 👍
Great to watch, perfect location Miriam.
Thanks John! Such a lovely spot alright - especially with glorious weather, its hard to find any fault with our lovely islands 😎 Hope all is well with you!
Another fabulous video, Miriam. What beautiful weather you got for your trip too!
Thanks very much! The weather really was glorious, it made showing the island off very easy and so enjoyable to walk in 😊 I loved it!! Leaving the island and being back in suburbia is quite a contrast. Thanks for watching - great to hear you enjoyed it!!
Home ❤.
A fine place to call home Ann 😍
Your video is fab
Thanks very much Ann 😊 Lovely to hear you enjoyed it!!
Miriam, that was some 'perch' you had out on the rocks as the sun went down☀️👍👍 A beautiful tour of the island from above and it looks like a fantastic place to go wild and explore😊 You picked a really cool camp spot for your balmy evening outdoors, way better than those busy camp sites😊. Always amazing to sit and watch the sun go down out over the Atlantic - nothing better in my humble opinion👍 Fantastic weather and beautiful light throughout. There is something magical about those islands on the west of Ireland where you can walk around the coastline and pretty much be on your own. A wonderful trip👍👍
A mighty fine perch is right Gerry 😊 Yet another lovely island to explore and no one about as you said. A great little trip and the weather played a blinder for this one - I love these island trips, feels like home every time! Thanks for watching and your message, always appreciated 👍😎
Absolutely amazing scenery thank you for sharing Miriam 😊🧡 added to the list 😊
Thanks Jens - a worthy addition to your list! All the islands off Mayo and Galway are worth a visit…I’m a big fan of them anyway! Thanks for watching and your message 👍 I’m catching up on your adventures now! Enjoy the planning for your next adventure 😎
@@MiriamKennedy they certainly are 🧡 thank you Miriam 😊
Thanks, Miriam. You've done it again....lovely part of the world. 🙂👍😘
Hi Brian - another one for your list!! It’s a beautiful little island to spend some time. Fantastic landscape and a great place to walk in solitude. Delighted you enjoyed it 👍 Thanks for your message and take care today!
Wow Miriam. Just wow.. my bucket list is overflowing. Gotta go there. Looks unreal. Would you recommend more than 2 days? Unreal. Your drone skills are on point. Love it. Those sausages made me hungry. 😁 Well done.
Thanks very much Martin! We need bigger buckets - smaller pack sizes but bigger buckets!! 😉 With one night you see a lot and get a very good feel for the entire island, with 2 nights you could go at a slower pace to take it in more. Filming of course adds to the time. My return journey was at 1pm - with a later ferry I could have squeezed in more but then you have to face into a long drive home later at night. You’re a faster walker than me so that has to be factored in too! If you had the time then 2 nights would be nice but you definitely get a good sense of the entire island with one night!
🙂🙂
Thanks for watching 😊
You had me just 1 minute in Miriam, Gorgeous !!!
It took a whole minute 😏 Ah that’s great to hear - it’s a beautiful spot to visit! Great to hear you enjoyed it…thanks!! 👍
Ok 15 seconds then Miriam and again it was over way too soon for me, loved it x
@@bromptinowner763 😂😂😂
What a gorgeous opens sequence and nice to get a free anything but that map was a good one to get free. Your tent looked real roomy, especially for a one person tent and what a place to pitch - not bad indeed, that sunset was superb! Loved the morning time-lapse and to get the fresh sea air on your face first thing in the morning must have been amazing. Those sausages were a tad on the small side for me but sitting there, eating them with the sea wind on my face, I would not be complaining! Yep, East coast was doing very well too and that lake spot was awesome but those two beaches, especially the one at Dumhatch was stunning - you sure were were not abroad? Cheers Alan
Ha Alan!! The Wild West coast of Ireland is pretty stunning for sure 😊 That was my 2 person tent that you saw, really roomy - such a nice treat!! A really nice spot to spend the night for sure, loved it! Definitely will be heading back to the west coast again soon - a great place to be for the sunset and sunrise even if it is with rather small looking sausages!! Thanks for watching and your message - hope all well with you!! 😎
Great video of yet another beautiful location and Wow! for the perfect weather 👌 Definitely a world away from the Clifden campsite 😂
You're right there!! In fairness I'd say that camp site gave me a good taste of what it was that I was really looking for...its the best campsite I've come across in terms of having a whiff of what wild camping might be like. It possibly played a big part in inspiring me to realise that I wanted to just head out with a tent on my own...I was a bit slow on the uptake it seems! 😂 The good weather really helped this trip Niall - it does wonders for helping show it off. Good to hear from you!
My parents often talk about this place, now I understand why. As a young couple they visited it and got stuck there in a bad storm for several days during which tourist prices suffered a sudden inflation 😅 What an absolutely beautiful place, thanks for brightening up yet another morning Coffee with this beautiful and busy little adventure.
Cheers Robin!! Oh Lord - what an adventure and story for your parents, not a bad location to find yourself stuck for sure! I’ve yet to visit one of our islands and be disappointed…I might find one yet, I’ll keep looking anyway 😎 Delighted you enjoyed this short but busy trip!!
Outstanding Miriam, really impressive drone work👌, what a lovely island indeed and you certainly got the weather for it. I was in Clifton eco campsite 8 years ago, very nice place, look forward to your next adventure 😀
Cheers Ben!! Totally blessed with the weather - makes such a difference to the experience and the footage. That campsite is hands down my favourite of all that I've seen to date - when I stayed there, I'd say it gave me a hint of what I was really looking for which was to just be out on my own in the tent and to experience the solitude of that. Once I made the leap, I haven't been able to stop 😉 Good to hear you experienced that campsite along the way too! Catch you soon!!
A very charming island...a lot of cool scenery..beautiful...
Hi Satria - yes, a very charming island and so nice to spend some time there. Delighted I could visit and explore it a bit. Thanks for watching the video and your message 👍
Fantastic drone shots especially open scenes, beautiful composition. 👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks very much Ervin...the wind died down at enough intervals to allow me to play with the drone a bit. It was forecasted to be low near sunset and it was great that it worked out that way. It just makes it a lot easier with the drone as you know! I'm still always very relieved that I haven't lost or crashed it after every flight. Thanks for watching and your message, I really appreciate it 😊
A lovely place, another one for the list! I was thinking about the wild camping piece; we’ve been doing it for about 40 years, I can only remember once being approached by a landowner, and he was ok when he saw that we weren’t causing harm or leaving rubbish. Good for you exploring these places and thanks for sharing with us.
Thats a good record to have!! I've only been approached once - I was in Wicklow and the wind was very strong so I came down off Lugalla and headed for the forest to pitch the tent. Its private land and I must have been spotted on CTV and someone drove out to tell me to leave. There was no negotiation - I left with my tail between my legs. Thats the only time for me...a pretty good record I think too! Besides that incident, I've never been approached at all. Thank you for watching the video - it's always nice if anyone might watch it and enjoy it! I appreciate it 😊
@@MiriamKennedy in fairness I haven’t done as much camping in recent years so with it becoming more popular, certainly in the easier to reach places, maybe there’s a bit more pressure and less tolerant landowners. If people didn’t leave all their crap behind it would help. Still plenty of places off the beaten track. Keep doing it, enjoying it and sharing it with us too! Thanks
Ah thanks!! I sometimes think I’m done with the videos but then I get the urge again 🤷♀️ I never come across any hassle but as you said it’s the more accessible spots that the beer drinkers are heading to and leaving their rubbish!
Wow 🤩 That intro 🤩 The drone footage and music 🎶 Absolutely beautiful!!
Another beautiful video Miriam! Really enjoyed this ☺️
Thanks very much John!! 😊 Great to hear you enjoyed it 👍 That was a lovely little trip for sure - the fab scenery and weather worked a treat! Hopefully I’ll get to some more islands in 2022 - possibly my favourite trips!! 😎
Gorgeous video Miriam. You were blessed with the weather. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks Lisa! Totally blessed with the weather, so nice to be able to wear a T-shirt for most of the weekend. I was out for a stroll this evening with a few pals, really strong winds, driving rain and hail for a section!! Such a contrast from a few days ago…catch up with you soon 😊
Brilliant video. Looks a fantastic place to explore. Thanks for sharing
Cheers James! It is a great place - you’d love it I reckon 😊 Thanks for watching and your message 👍
Great video Miriam , lovely scenery as always , well done !!
Cheers Mark! A beautiful spot and great to spend the night on an island again 😊 There’s nothing to fault about the landscape here alright…thanks for your message 😎👍
Some fantastic scenery there Miriam, you got a crackin couple of days. That sunset was amazing no matter what the name of the cove was 🙂, it must have been idyllic lying there watching the sun go down. Here, those were some fat bangers you had for breakfast, though I draw the line at ketchup, gotta be HP everytime for me in my butties! Great go at pronouncing Doonnahineena, I wouldn't even think of attempting that one! Thanks again for sharing another great video and wonderful adventure! ATB, Gary.
That was Ballymaloe Relish Gary 😃 I may have to venture into the HP pastures though to see what I'm missing! I got another bowling green pitch so it was lovely lying there and listening to the sound of the water crashing in the un-named cove...it was so nice to be in the Hubba Hubba aqain aswell, I love it's interior space! Thanks for watching the video and your message Gary, really nice to hear that you enjoyed it!! 😎
@@MiriamKennedy LOL, I should have known better that you would be slumming it with ketchup Miriam, Ballymaloe is well fancy for breakfast 🙂
@@IrelandOutdoors 😂😂😂
I love a challenging walk Miriam. It's nice to amble and take it easy but it feels great to dance with purpose through the landscape to. Ha, a luxury camp this time eh? Well, the tent I mean - the pitch was divine. What a cove! Well, I don't blame you at all for stopping. It's what I do - the beautiful land demands our attention. Excellent time out. I enjoyed that. Have a good weekend. Mark
Cheers Mark! I enjoyed this trip too - very special landscape to spend time in, nice and relaxed and nothing too strenuous and so much beauty around me! I seem to feel very content in environments like this and as for the luxury of my spacious tent - heaven!! 😂 Quite a contrast to return to suburbia after time in a place like that - it does me good!! Thanks for watching and your message - have a good weekend yourself 😉
@@MiriamKennedy A pleasure as always Miriam - I find myself smiling along with you. It's the person and that special landscape. I will have a good one. Peace.
Great stuff again Miriam 👏, drone footage is great, music too
Cheers Peter!! Thankfully the drone came home with me again too 😊 Hope all is well up the road with you 😀
Another brilliant video Miriam and so blessed to get the great weather again. Reminded me of one of those brilliant Attenborough documentaries where you get the visuals for the first half and then the background story for the second half. We’re all glad you brought the cameras after, weighty as they can be on long walk.
Cheers Robert! I'm so glad I did too...to be honest, the weight isn't much of an issue but I had fancied a trip without the 'camera head' on me 😊 In the end the desire to potentially capture some nice memories won out...no harm done and plenty of pleasure was had by me anyway!! And a big thank you to you for inspiring me to visit Inishbofin again - when I saw your great video a number of months ago - the seed was planted!! 😎
Thats my favourite video yet Miriam, it's incredible and I love the adventure explained. Your videos even make me want to go hiking and all I want to do is eat sweets. Lol.
😂😂 Glad you enjoyed it Peter!! I’m pretty sure you’d love hiking and camping - the sweets are on the packing list always!! Never leave home without them - one of the essentials alongside a tent, mattress and sleeping bag 😎 Thanks for your message!!
Once again great drone footage Miriam, glad you got the good weather. Really enjoy your videos. I am sure Gordan Ramsey will be putting "The pink ladys pan seared sausage" on his breakfast menu. Good look.
Thanks Andrew 😂😂 I borrowed a trick from a friend and when bringing a big sausage like this (my pan is small so this is one sausage cut in two), I simmer the sausage at home for about 10 minutes in boiling water so that I can have confidence it will cook right through. A raw sausage doesn't appeal...works for me with my little pan anyway. I also freeze it before bringing it so that it'll take time to thaw and keep fresher possibly while out walking 😎 I haven't had a dodgy tummy yet anyway! Thanks for watching the video Andrew - the weather turned out to be even better than forecasted!! 😉
Feck!!! That was awesome, I hope heaven looks like that. Really Really amazing footage, your spoiling us! Well done on another fantastic video, Can I ask what the opening music was? Please..thanks
Hi Niall - glad you enjoyed it, that's super to hear! 👍 That piece of music is called 'Ghosts of the Rail' by Gabriel Lewis. Maybe it is a little bit of heaven out there off the west coast...it certainly seems that way!! We seem to have been given a big share in the magical beauty spots in our little country alright! 😎 Thanks for watching and your support, I really appreciate it 😊
Always enjoy your vids but Wow! Stunning opening sequence! You could sell that to the local tourist board😃 Beautiful island..and the weather god's certainly smiled on you. As always, very inspiring! Looking forward to your next adventure.
Thanks Jimmy! Its a beautiful spot - I'm a bit partial to our coastal islands, I feel very at home in these places 😊 It feels very safe, not too effortful and the scenery is usually spectacular! Thanks for watching and your message! I look forward to your next adventure too 👍
Did you pick the weekend well! Your drone footage only gets better every time :)
Ha!! I was adamant that I wasn’t bringing the camera gear for this trip …but then the weather forecast was looking so good that I ended up giving in to the urge!! 🤦♀️ Right up until the day before heading away I had no plans to bring it - of course I’m now delighted I brought it 😂 Great spot to play with the drone - it was actually quite breezy at times but there were gaps that allowed me to have some fun with it! Thanks for watching and your support Kyra 😊
Beautiful little film.
It is after inspiring me to get back to Bofin, have camped there and on Shark beside it also, they are magic.
Thanks Cormac - yep they are beautiful places to visit and camp 😊 I haven't ever been to Shark so I'll have to check it out at some stage! I was eyeing it up on my way over in the boat. I reckon my favourite landscape in Ireland are our islands - something about the remoteness and solitude they exude never mind their beauty. Hope you get back there!
@@MiriamKennedy Yes I would agree completely Miriam. I'm a Sea Kayaker so Ireland's offshore Islands are my most frequent destination for camping. Wonderful places of beauty, history and often this feeling that time has stood still.
@@Corcioch yeah!! Stop - you’re making me want to pack my bag again 😊
Fantastic video Miriam, as always, the camera work is stunning, particularly the 360 degree drone shot of the Sunset. Looks like you have really suceeded in your search for Quiet Deserted places. Used to work with you in the College years ago (John C/Accounts). Very well done, looking forward to future Videos.
John C! There's a blast from the recent past...hope you're keeping well and I wonder are you still admiring campervans 😊 Lovely to hear from you. Yep my search continues for more quiet places - thankfully we've no shortage so I'll be kept entertained anyway! Thanks so much for watching the video and your message, that's given me a smile!
@@MiriamKennedy Many Thaks Miriam, I'm keeping very well thanks, retired now a few years. Well Miriam, in your travels you are getting to places no Campervan could ever reach, so good for you, and keep up the great work. Best Regards John

Amazing video again ! Definitely adding it to the "Places I need to visit" list. Do you have to clear it with anybody with regards to wild camping on the island ?
Hi Sean - you don’t need to clear it with anyone. My best advice would be to camp in the north east of the island as it’s very wild over there and you are not near any houses. The houses are to the South of the island near the pier and once you leave the pier area, it’s pretty sparse of dwellings. The 2 big beaches have some houses nearby but I also saw some tents set up in that area too, so that’s another option to consider. Just be respectful and quiet and no one will be bothered by you at all 😉 You’ll love it!! Let me know how you get on if you visit it!! 👍
Lovely video. Hope to get over to Inishbofin at some point. Can I ask what frying pan you are using, please? Thanks
Hi David - thanks very much, it’s a lovely spot, I hope you make it there! I use the Primus Litech Trek Kettle and the lid of the pot folds out for use as a little frying pan 😉 I’ve been using it for years and I love it 😎
@@MiriamKennedy thanks Miriam
Hi Miriam great video and storytelling. What’s the little skillet you’re using? 🙂
Hi Tom - thanks very much! My cooking system is a Primus Trek Kettle where the lid of the pot doubles up as a frying pan. The handle folds away neatly. I’ve been using it for years and I love it!! Delighted you enjoyed the video 😊
@@MiriamKennedy thanks! Looks neat
