A strenuous yet rewarding hike & camp - Glencorbet Horseshoe, Twelve Bens Connemara
This is a strenuous walk but so rewarding when you have the weather like I did to take in the views. I’d imagine most walkers would complete this as a day hike but a high camp was certainly attractive given the conditions. The small lakes at Benbrack and An Lochán on the Benbaun descent provided me with enough water for the duration of the hike and camp. The visibility was spectacular throughout and it definitely paid to wait until good conditions allowed me to see where I was going and that I could show the place off. The traditional Glencorbet Horseshoe route excludes the ascent of small Benbaun and Mucanacht - but sure why not!

Having never seen the entire Ring of Kerry before, I took the opportunity to cycle a loop of the Iveragh peninsula on my Brompton. Altogether on this trip, I cycled about 185/190km and camped for 3 nights along the way. This is a wonderful loop which brings you through a number of small yet busy towns and includes coastal views with some mountain passes thrown in for luck. This is a popular rou...

    • @MiriamKennedy
      @MiriamKennedy 11 дней назад

      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 😉

    Fantastic video... you did a great job (as always) with the filming... beautiful shots... I will pick up a copy of the guidebook you referenced and hopefully plan a visit to the area. It looks great. Thanks for sharing! 🙏

      Thank you Richard 🤗 Some lovely rocky terrain like you have in the Mournes. That book has served me well for hikes in Mayo and Connemara in recent years, it’s very good! Thanks for watching this and your message 😊

    I work that area a couple of times a week and occasionally I've sneakily pitched a tent on top of a cliff not far from Wellington Bridge and stayed over. Fabulous part of the world. Hoping my next camp will be in the Northwest though. North Leitrim is calling to me.. 😁

    • @MiriamKennedy
      @MiriamKennedy 2 месяца назад

      Ha brilliant!! Such a great coastline for some sneaky camps 😉 Hope your North Leitrim camp works out soon…the weather is looking good for me to get a sneaky camp in Wicklow this weekend 🤞

      ​@@MiriamKennedy ​ Oh I love it. Wicklow is a touch of class. I'm hoping for somewhere near Glencar. BTW, Durston bringing out the X-Dome.. think I'm in love. A freestanding tent weighing about a kg. The X-Mid is taking a back seat for the time being 😅😅😅😅

    • @MiriamKennedy

      Yes I saw the X-Dome has been released - a thing of beauty!! 🤩 Happy dreaming and shopping 😎

    Hi Miriam. Just found your channel by accident and loving it. Think this is my fourth or fifth video to watch since last night 😂 Can you tell me what tent you're using in this? Looks like the Mongar but the red inner has me confused .. but its not difficult to confuse me 😅 Keep posting, great content.

    • @MiriamKennedy
      @MiriamKennedy 2 месяца назад

      Thanks very much and great to hear about your accidental landing on my little videos 🤗 This tent is the MSR Access 2 - it’s marketed as a 4 season tent but I would never use it in very high winds. It has less mesh in the inner, more stability on the central pole and a greater number of guyline points than their 3 season Hubba Hubba tent. Yes - the Mongar Naturehike tent does look like the MSR Access & Hubba tents. The MSR Access 2 is lighter though at 1.8Kg V 2.1Kg for Naturehike. I can’t comment about materials used and quality of the Naturehike tents - my MSRs have lasted me well whilst knowing their limitations! 😉

    • @JTRavers69
      @JTRavers69 2 месяца назад

      @MiriamKennedy the Nature Hikes are okay but you get what you pay for. They're an entry level tent for somebody looking to see if the like wild camping. They'd do the job. Being made redundant in March so looking to do lots more camping, so like you, my next tent will be the Durston X-Mid 2. Your videos are inspiring and its definitely given me the kick in the backside that I needed to get more hiking into my camping.

    • @MiriamKennedy
      @MiriamKennedy 2 месяца назад

      Great stuff (not about the redundancy - unless you’re happy about it!) No doubt you’ll enjoy your X-Mid 2, I’m certainly enjoying mine 😊 The very best of luck with your camping and hiking plans - it’s such a great thing to be able to do so I hope you get to do lots!! 😎

      @MiriamKennedy after 35 years with same company, I'll look forward to the break. Will take nine months out to relax and recharge. I'll miss the job, the patients especially but I think I'll enjoy the break 😁
