Thanks very much Damian! Your island visits sound great (even your Caribbean islands!!) - what a time of year to be experiencing that. You will be arriving home to a storm on Friday...a grounded weekend yet again! Anyway - enjoy the last of your trip and thanks very much for watching this one 🙂

Thank you Tom - you have a fine back garden 😉 Lucky you!!

The very best of luck with your treatment journey Alan! I hope you travel lightly through it all 😉

@MiriamKennedy thanks Miriam, 😊

Sorry I'm not sure what you are asking me, is it that you want to know the name of the tent in this video? If that is what you mean - its called the Durston X-Mid 1.

Yes, thanks very much👍

You’re very welcome!!

Wonderful mountains and another great part of the country to explore! You’d love it I’m sure - getting such nice weather might be difficult though 🤭

@MiriamKennedy yes😅😅

Do you have Instagram?

Hi there - I don't use Instagram...another rabbit hole I could get lost in!

True🙏

Thank you! Wishing you a wonderful 2025 also 🤗 All is good here thanks - I seem to be taking a break from the videoing for now. Not sure when I’ll be back at it but it could happen any time!! I’ve been getting out and about which is the important thing 😉

Awww - you must have some wonderful memories from your time there Jofre! I agree, its a very special place! ❤️

Yes. I was doing a photographic project, following the footsteps of Tim Robinson in his two volumes book " Stones of Aran". He met me twice in the Island.

@jofretorello9199 wonderful!! It sounds like you immersed yourself in the islands natural beauty…it remains a captivating place! 😉

Hi Chris! Thank you and wishing you a wonderful 2025 also 🤗 All good this side thanks - keep that Brompton safe from the ice 😎

Hi Robin - lovely to hear from you! I've been given a reprieve from the darts for about 2 weeks after a very long year flying the flag...I loved it all!! 😊 I stupidly (possibly) came up with the idea of camping on every county's highpoint over the next year so that has kept me busy. I got the idea in October which wasn't ideal! With 32 counties we've 26 highpoints as some are shared...6 down, 20 to go! I'm capturing a few shots as I go and I might put a video together to tell the story at the end of the years challenge. We'll see! I haven't been watching RUclips in recent months as I realised that I was getting so annoyed with many people playing the game (which they are entitled to do) of dramatizing thumbnail titles etc to attract viewers. It was annoying me too much and I realised I'm better off not tuning in. It has also meant that I've missed seeing your creative outputs though....its better that way for me for now though. Maybe I'll be able to tune in again at some stage and not get so triggered by others 😵 I hope you and the family are all keeping well!!

@@MiriamKennedy I totally understand. Playing the algorithm has a very odd effect on both the creator and their creations. It gradually turns you into a one dimensional machine feeding only 1 interest set and then feeding ourselves back into the same loop for more of the same carefully filtered field of interest at the cost of the wider version of ourselves. Little room in peoples interest for darts on a hike for example. Real people are diverse. RUclips videos are targeted. The trouble is that once you know the rules of the game you can’t unsee them and you see them in everything. “Don’t buy X tent until you’ve seen this” …. I’ve turned my own algorithm on its head by turning to telling pretty random and different stories. I’m going into my past a bit more, and it’s taken a lot of time converting old VHS tapes but the end result will gain me a confused bunch of subscribers I suppose. At the end of the day I’m not here for money. I’m here to tell a story now snd then and to learn the skills to do it well. We have friends who enjoy our whole lives, subscribers who only enjoy a single chapter should not control how we live the whole or else it’s become a job. To this end I keep self terminating my algorithm but although it can feel deflating I don’t think it matters all that much. Unless I ever lose my medical this ain’t no job to me. Your plan is excellent. Love it. What a great idea and I am delighted to hear of it. I will follow along with interest whenever and however much of it may appear. Maybe you could throw darts at a map from your couch to decide which county comes next 😂 Have fun on this adventure.

Respect for not playing the game Robin and for always doing what you truly want to do!! 😎

@@MiriamKennedy standby for penguins 🐧 😁

Thank you! I use the DJI Action 4 - no external mic, just what's available in the camera and I use a cheap foam wind shield which possibly helps too. I use the DJI Mini 4 Pro for my drone shots. Thanks again!!

Hi Raimo! Wishing you a very Happy New Year too! Hope you’re enjoying some white weather where you are 😎

@MiriamKennedy There hasn’t been proper white weather here yet. At the latitude of Helsinki, snow has come and gone, now there’s 10 cm of very wet snow, and the temperature is +3°C. This evening, I’ll try to capture Helsinki’s LUX light art around the city. Maybe you’ll get a glimpse of the slush we’re trudging through.😄 I'll put that video on my channel today or tomorrow...

@@RaimoLehtinen very good Raimo! I hope it works out for you 🤞 I haven't been looking at RUclips in recent months so I haven't been following what people are up to. Just fancied a break from it 🙂

@MiriamKennedy Got it, maybe it's good to take a little break. I hope it will be good for you… take it easy. The next time you see a seagull, it will be bringing my hugs to you.🤗

Thank you Eoin! It was fantastic weather for sure 🤭 Couldn’t resist this trip with that weather forecasted…delighted that I did it then! It seems so rare we get days like that. That hoodie was a gift from a friend in New Zealand. It’s a brand called Macpac - I’ve another one in a blue colour too. Really lightweight and soft and perfect for the warm weather! The brand isn’t available here unfortunately but I really like their stuff 🙃

Thank you Jorge! Delighted to hear you enjoyed this video all the way over in Colombia 🤗

@MiriamKennedy ok 👍 beautiful Miriam

Hi Anthony - thank you!! Wishing you a wonderful 2025 also. I’ve been using the Outdooractive App for a few years. I’ve just purchased a Garmin watch so I hope to start using my watch for navigation now rather than my phone on the hills…on the bike I’ll likely stick with Outdooractive on my phone for now. I buy all my Rab gear from the SportPursuit website - they have much better prices than general outdoor stores and we don’t get stung for customs charges on delivery to Ireland. It can take 2 weeks or more to get your item delivered so if you’re not in a rush, I find it the most economical way to purchase Rab gear 😉

Thank you Jorge! Wishing you the best for 2025 also…may you have many good outdoor adventures!! 😊

None planned…I’ve lost interest in watching and making videos for now. I’m still going out quite often but not posting any videos about it. I’ve taken on a challenge of camping on every county high point in Ireland over the next year. I started in mid October and I might make a video at the end of that experience to tell the story of what that was like to do (assuming I stick with it and finish it). That being said - I could feel the pull to make a video before then and if I do I’ll go for it but for now I don’t feel the pull to do it…it’s great to have the memories that I have with these videos but there was always a subtle feeling of finding it a little ‘off’ for me to post videos. I’ve never felt quite at home with it unfortunately! 🫣

Hopefully you experience plenty of goodness whilst going through your treatment Alan 😉 Fingers crossed you’ll have plenty of nice times amongst any tough times. I’ll be thinking of you!

Big thank you Miriam 😊

Thanks Sean from Tallaght - I’m down the road from you in Clondalkin. I’m very well thanks!! 😉

​@@MiriamKennedyhi neighbour 😊

​@@MiriamKennedyhi neighbour 😊

If you mean my health, all is good! 😉 I’ve finished treatment and recovered well and I’m back doing all that I enjoy doing thankfully 😎

@@MiriamKennedy ah brilliant, great to hear. blessings on you for the future, great videos Miriam........and great talking to you also. all the best for the future..............

Cheers Sean!! Thanks for your messages! 🙏

Thanks very much 😊

Hi - I currently use a DJI Action 4 and DJI Mini 4 Pro drone. When this video was recorded I was using a GoPro 8 and DJI Mini 2 drone 😉

Hi Jorge from Dublin to Cucuta - thanks so much for your message! Have a great 2025 ❤️🤗

@MiriamKennedy Happy 2025 for you too. Amen 🙏

Hi Jonny - I use a DJI Action 4 and my drone is a DJI Mini 4 Pro. I’m using that gear for the last year or so - prior to that I was using a GoPro 8 and a DJI Mini 2 drone. Bright days are best for these cameras so I’ve usually only brought cameras with me when the weather is looking good as I want to be able to show the areas off 😉 For small and lightweight cameras, they are very effective!

Cheers Joe! Hope you’ve had a good day so far today 🎄 My darts obsession continues - still enjoying it immensely 🤭 Wishing you well for 2025 also 🤗

Thanks very much Nigel! Wishing you the best for today and beyond also 🎅🎉 Take good care! x

Aww thank you Mickey!! That’s very nice of you to say 🤩🎉 So nice!! 😊

Hi Steven - all good here thanks! I'm lucky in that I now own both the X-Mid 1 and 2...my first choice is the X-Mid 2 for its spaciousness and still being so light but the X-Mid 1 has its uses also for me! 😉

Sorry to hear that Alan - I hope all goes well for you and that you feel some security as you progress. Challenging stuff for anyone to face. I hope you find your way through this phase with as much ease as you can. Take good care 😊

@MiriamKennedy thanks Miriam, it'll be tough and I should be ok 👍

Ha!!

@MiriamKennedy drove passed dooneen peir today, where ya met your freind living in currywngaun/curry gone wrong aswell:)

@MiriamKennedy thank you for the great videos, very underrated👍

Thanks very much! 😊

@@MiriamKennedy fkn spot on boss:)

Very lucky indeed Donall! You’re the true lucky one with the island within your daily view though 😉

@MiriamKennedy it's not bad, went out to boffin plenty of times aswell as the islands surroundings it's, the sunrise is always spectacular out there:) can see the mountains on the mainland start to glow in the sun:)

Our islands are very special! I love them all 😊

@MiriamKennedy that they are. would recommend inis turk aswell, its just north of bofin, theirs cliffs on the north side, with puffins:)

@donallmccrudden4812 yes I’ve been - I even made a little video of my visit there. A wonderful spot!

Thanks very much John, I appreciate it! 😊 A stunning area for sure - it was great to do, delighted I took the chance to do it!

Thanks very much John! It’s an easy sell with blue skies and long days 😉 Thanks so much for the encouragement and your support! I had a great time doing this trip - even more delighted to hear that you or anyone enjoyed it too 😊

Thanks Paul! All a bit of fun to capture and share the journey a bit 😉 Thanks so much for watching it!! I’m feeling very well thanks…nice to be out the other side of most of the treatment. I hope all is going well for you! 🤞 Thanks again!!

Hi Michael - there is a definite route but you’d be wise to go with a gpx route or read up on the route so you know some of the markers to watch out for. I was carrying quite a high backpack so that made it more difficult for me to see the route ahead…the high pack was blocking my view when I’d lean back. It was great to do - thrilled that I did it. I hope you go for it!! Let me know how you get on 😉

@MiriamKennedy thanks for your reply Mirriam. I'll definitely be doing it in the new-year. I've been on Errigal dozens of times, but never from the north. Your videos are excellent, and thanks again for putting them up. Keep up the good work

Thanks very much Michael - best of luck with your hike!! 😎

Thanks Tony! A super overnighter for sure. Such great conditions to explore these mountains…a wonderful treat for September! 😉

@MiriamKennedy Indeed it was a treat, and for your viewers too! 🙂

@tonypaddler ahhh thanks 🤭

I’m a toddler in the cycling world! 🤗 Cheers Tony! Hope yourself and Mrs Paddler are keeping well 😎

@@MiriamKennedy Haha, yes, us cyclists are often younger than our age 😁 We are recently back from a fortnight of walking around the hills near Salzburg, so still have those happy thoughts in our minds 🏞️ , thanks for asking 🙂 Cheers 👍

Sounds great!! 🙂

@@MiriamKennedy Yes, picture postcard scenery and great weather, I didn't want to leave! Landed back in NE England to gloomy weather. Oh well...🤷‍♂️🙂

@tonypaddler ggggrrrrrr!! Sounds like a lovely trip - a tough land for you I’m sure being back!! 🤦‍♀️

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

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

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

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

Hi - I came on to respond to your comment and I seem to have somehow deleted your message 🫣 It’s the second time I’ve done that this week…not sure what I did! Anyway - great to hear about your work on the bike and I hope you enjoy taking it for a spin this week (when the weather allows). I was out last night in the tent before the next bout of strong winds arrives - it was still strong and I had to jump up at 7am to get the tent packed up before I took off!! Take good care 😉

@MiriamKennedy Unfortunately on the basis of the forecast I've elected not to bring it up - just arrived and it's blowing.hard already. Nevermind, I'll get the chance soon.

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

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

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

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

You’ll love it I’m sure Owen!! 😎

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

Merci 😊

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

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

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

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