- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ค. 2022
- Running 19 miles in the record breaking Heatwave of July 2022 as I attempt to make it around the tallest seven mountains in the Mourne Mountains, The Seven Sevens. Binnian, Lamagan, Donard, Commedagh, Bearnagh, Meelmore & Meelbeg.

Got quite angry watching this. Massively irresponsible regardless of your experience. Clearly not enough water, not enough food and inappropriate clothing to deal with changes in the weather. A very poor example to set.
Hi Jim thanks for the comment, although I have to disagree. There was no real extra risk to my person on this than on any other day. I've addressed each concern below, I might pin this comment in case anyone else is concerned. I take safety seriously and in the past have changed my route or shortened a run or hike when it felt too risky. I've done this several times on solo runs in windy, cold, wet weather with low clouds, that's the conditions that scare me the most.
Firstly I can't cover every safety aspect in every video for every person. So possibly the one thing I should have done was to say "I know my body and fitness, I'm prepared for this, doesn't mean you should try it". But I felt that it was kind of obvious that this is something I'm experienced with.
PRE-SAFETY:
I gave my wife a printed map of my planned route. It's also a very popular hiking route with at least a few people walking most of that route per day. Forecast was checked and doubled checked including summits. I did know there was a chance of rain. I knew 90% of the route like the back of my hand.
WATER:
This was the most well planned aspect. As made clear at the start of the video and throughout, I knew where multiple water sources would be. I had my water filter, small 300ml bottle and electrolyte tablets. Worse case scenario I would be at the most 1hr away from a water source. While I did get thirsty, the risk was minimal and I've been more dehydrated in much better conditions.
Also I knew if it did become a potential issue that I could just leave the route at multiple locations and descend to the rivers in the valleys. I don't know if you're familiar with the Mourne? But it's not a big range.
FOOD:
Food really is irrelevant, your body has enough stores to keep going for 2 months. Having to deal with being hungry and lower energy for a day isn't going to harm me as long as I've no underlying conditions. I wouldn't recommend it for other people, but I managed this entire day on only 1000calories of food ( I didn't have breakfast either). I know my body and I know how it reacts when the energy runs out. I've been there a lot.
CLOTHING:
I checked the weather including summit forecasts before heading out. Temp was to be max 25C, with I think 10-15C on the summits. I've been on the summits in this range at -5 in shorts and a T-shirt while running in winter (with spare warm layers of course).
So I knew that even at worse, I would just get a bit cold for a few minutes. Which is exactly what happened. I sheltered under the rock more to avoid the inconvenience of getting colder, rather than fear of it being a risk. At any case a 10min descent would have brought me down and out of the wind.
I hope this helps with concerns and thanks for being worried about my safety, I appreciate it. My mother also messaged me to say that drinking that much water could give me brain damage (it won't)
I did of course have a foil space blanket just in case I got a proper chill and needed warmth. You'll note I didn't use it as I didn't get cold enough to need it.
I don't see why a simple youtube video should make you "quite angry". Not worth it, breathe and let be. Anger is also a poor example to set.
Thanks for the mention…. Believe it or not a few subs have appeared! We sat down to watch and we enjoyed every second of this video! Longer video was best choice …. Thanks again for an amazing video!
Was so happy to finally see a friendly face after 10hours of only meeting about 4 other people! Glad you picked up a few subs! And thanks, yeah 10mins wouldn't have quite communicated what was involved in this run!.
Well done, great attitude, always a good idea to take 5 or 10 minutes to reevaluate the situation when things go against you, you looked in control of that situation and you obviously know the mournes well and had a back up plan just to get out whenever you needed, I know it was still probably 2 or 3 hours to your car but anyone can find the strength to do that when we really need to, people underestimate themselves. You can learn alot about yourself up a mountain. Thanks for showing how things really are out there and not editing the video to just show peaks and sunsets👊👊 I was in the mournes twice in the last 6 weeks and its amazing up there, absolutely stunning, it's awesome it takes my breath away every time, I love the place
Thank you! yeah I definitely wouldn't recommend doing something like this to someone who doesn't know the area or who isn't experienced being up there. But I had several self-escape options if I needed them. Glad you enjoyed the video and yeah, love being in the mountains.
Crazy. Well done Stephen 👏 I voted for a shorter video but 100% glad you didn't listen and went for the longer one as it worked out brilliant 😂👍
Haha thanks! Would have been difficult to properly tell the story of this one as a shorter video
Haha thanks! Would have been difficult to properly tell the story of this one as a shorter video
Well done Stephen, you were right to keep going, all 7 done no regrets, I cramped up in the car on the way home when I did it. Bet those chips tasted great though, great film
Thanks Kevin! I forgot to get my curry chip!
Well that looks like a miserable experience 😅 Very entertaining though. I nearly gagged when you took a bite out of that protein bar 😂
Mater class in being a mountain warrior 💪💪💪💪💪 love your honesty and integrity. I've never seen a hill/fell runner go past me while hoffin and poffin going up a mountain with little more Yan a fanny pack 😉😉😉.any way me mate was gasping for a drink and had ran outta food on commadagh. Over the hill came a farmer with half a bag of bon bons and showed him were the water spring on commadagh was. I thought he was taking the Mick. After watching your vid turns out he was not speaking with a forked tongue 😹😹😹😹😹
Haha thanks John Henry! Think that’s the smallest bag I’ve ever run with in mountains, usually have a full vest pack.
Haha yeah people think I’m taking the mick when I tell them about that spring. The water is glorious!
Well done and in tht heat. Glad it was the longer video version, to achieve the 7 7s while recording also. Really enjoyed that Stephen keep the fitness up and videos buddy.
Thanks Andrew! Keeping at it!
Well done getting footage of the lizard. I've only ever seen a lizard twice and both times were in the mournes
They are hard to spot. This was my second time, previous was at Glenariff
THIS Is the content I'm here for.. Steven takes the pain I get the laughs. Great video keep it up I'll be back Hi sheep
Haha, thanks, wait till you see the midges video! 🤣
@@StephenJReid so did your tooth just grow back? I mean that's pretty amazing if so....or maybe it was filmed before the concrete popcorn episode? either way, love you content. Hey, Sheep...think ya left somethin under the rocks!!
Well done, that’s some achievement, especially given the weather. Fantastic job with the video edit too, it definitely warranted a longer video. I really enjoy the style and content of your videos, it is easy to see the time and effort that you put into them!
Thanks Simon! Glad I kept the longer video, although took me near two days to edit 😬 worth it though. 10mins wouldn’t have done it justice
First class Stephen, that’s some running! It felt like we were with you. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Stephen!
Great job, mate! Loved this video, one of my favourites.
Thanks Andrew! 🙂 one of my least favourite to make! 😂😂
Great video Stephen. Your vids are amazing and very creative. Really enjoyed this 👍
Thanks Andrew!
Great adventure and the longer video length did it justice. The weather was really battling you all the way for extra kudos. ‘Eat my belly’ 😄
Thanks Neil! Didn't eat nearly enough of my belly, think I made up for it afterwards, lost zero weight 🤣
Well done Stephen! That’s some endurance (madness) to keep going - great the water sources worked out for you! Best of luck when you do it again in the upcoming race 😂
Thanks Miriam! Think I drank half the water up there!
To a Mr. Stephen J Reid. Jogging and trail hiking in CA.is awesome a hobby of mine before an ankle injury your channel content continues to remind me of one of the few joys we get in life challenging our own abilities and exploring the countries we're from & love so much...I can't wait to get healthy again and hit the trails again...One of the best arguments for TH-cam being a good source of knowledgeable, worthwhile and entertaining content is your channel and it's content. Thanks for bringing us viewers along.
To myself: for the purposes of preserving grammatical sanity , clarification: The point of hiking in California being an awesome hobby of mine, should be made clear. Better now...Thanks.
I love the fact that there's a shared experience there despite us living 5000 miles away from each other. Hope you get healthy and back out there soon! Thanks 🙂
Love the beautiful views! You are so lucky. Enjoy and be safe and Thanks for sharing your Journey with us!
Thanks John! 🙂
@@StephenJReid You bet! If it's getting cold out there just let me know and I will ship you one of our jackets :)
@@JohnElHanafi It's Ireland, we could have snow next week 🤣
Good effort Stephen, those filter bottles are the way forward, me and the missus had one between us on this year's edition of the Mourne Mountain Marathon. No shortage of water up there a few weeks ago though!
Game changer. I know plenty who would drink straight from some of the rivers but I’ve also heard plenty of stories of regretting it later.
In the race you must dab in at Commegah summit , plus drop of Commegah after Paddy's , onto the Brandy Pad to Bearnagh, far quicker .
ahhhh, I've never taken that route, I did think about it but didn't want to as unfamiliar with it. So you go straight over the edge after the pipe?
@@StephenJReid follow the water , keep right..
@@StephenJReid stay below the water ,trail takes you straight down.
Great epic video that captured an epic day in the mountains, hope you washed your own kit!
Haha thanks David, sure I had a wash in the river! 🤣
Brilliant Stephen! Another masterpiece!
Thanks Tony!
Great job, love the longer video was amazing 👍🏻
Thanks Paul! I’ll maybe do a few more longer ones in future too
Amazing, loved it!
Thanks Michael!
Great video edit Stephen, sound was good, audio from the GoPro? If you come to Victoria I will run Mt.Douglas with you. (not drone friendly, great for a point and shoot) Keep up the great content Bro!)
Yup all GoPro audio with some wind jammers stuck on
Good going mate. I was thirsty watching haha
Thanks James! Thirsty business indeed! At least I didn't hang around long enough for midges!
@@StephenJReid aye haha
great vid mate,defo gona try that some day👏
Thanks Micky! 🙂
Good going mate that looked really tough. 👍👍
Thanks Lee! It was not fun 😭
Fair play ya header 😁 looked brutal 🤪
I’ll not be doing it again in a hurry in that kind of heat! Should have went camping 😂
I hear Bear Grylls drinks his own pee. I’m glad you got a few water sources on the way 😎😎
Haha!! I was a long way from being that desperate, my pee was fanta colour, it's once it looks like tea that you have to start considering your options 🤣
@@StephenJReid 😂😂
That was pretty impressive, but why oh why doing that on the hottest possible day? Kinda asking for trouble imo, but good to see you survived ;-)
Did you change the intro/outro? Less text if I'm not mistaken? This version looks better if you'd ask me.
It was the last day that was early enough before the race to give it a go, busy with work the rest of the week. I was fully prepared for it though, wasn't concerned for my survival, been out in scarier weather (wind, rain, low cloud).
yeah I've finally updated the intro! Still tweaks to make.
Lovely video. Thanks...
Thanks!
That was some run stephen.The filter looked a great job.Where did you get it from.Could do with one myself
Thanks Robin! Currently on sale on amazon actually: amzn.to/3cIK1FA
OooH a LizArD!! Ha ha 🤣
You were right to go with the longer video as well, btw
🦎 Second time I've seen one, hard to spot! and thanks, don't think this would have worked as a short video!
Great video Stephen. Tough day for it! Question - do you have a Strava account? If so, I am travelling back to Ireland in August from Sydney and would love to use some of your routes as I explore the Mournes. Cheers!
Hi Philip, yeah I do, just search for my name, Stephen Reid (no j) I'm on there
come to Portugal, and u will see...
The choc bar looked really bad as a close up. Eww.
🤣 It did look grim!
Hahaha I put that hat under the rocks on lamagan🤣🤣🤣🤣 it was lying on the ground. Lasted 2 weeks. I got a pic of me reaching for the peak🤦🏼♂️🤣🤣🤣
Seriously?! Haha that’s amazing! Was it covered in flying ants then too?
@@StephenJReid yea it was in a dire state when we passed in the wet, it could only have gotten worse 🤣😂
