Cheers Adrian, I hope you didn't have to put your gloves on like I did ;-) It is interesting the way things develop and I think the talking can add a great deal in describing the journey so I think it is here to stay :-) Take care and have many adventures in 2019 :-)
Great to see this area in the raw! lighting was beautiful Gerry it really looks a fulfilling place to hike. I loved the views by the loch side at the bottom and then the distance you traveled looking back towards the loch, gives the viewer a real perspective of the walk. I remember driving through this area and wishing we could stay a couple of days, so very good to see ;) Tim
@@savedpurplecat Aaah that's nice to hear. I value your friendship in the same way as i value Gerry's. Peace to you both throughout 2019. Hopefully see some great adventures of yours.
Another inspiring outing Gerry. The sunlight was superb as was the setting - a bit fresh up on top. Just popping in to say have a great week and new year. Thanks for your support and your own shares. Here's to new adventures and the best in life in 2019. Mark
Mark, thank you and all the best for the coming year - for peace, happiness, exploration, adventure and finding things (a)new about ourselves and the wonderful world around us :-)
Super video Gerry..... as always, many thanks, last time I was there the midges would have eaten anyone alive! Winter/ autumn is the time to go, a beautiful wild place
Cheers Richard, I have been eaten alive by those very same midges on a wet and miserable day with little wind, it is great not to have to worry about them. Agree that autumn and winter are great times to visit :-)
Stunning footage Gerry, you really made the most of the beautiful weather !! I was over there last month and climbed Drumnalifferny, up and down the same way you came down. I found the ground pretty tough-going on the lowest part. The Derryveaghs are among my top favourite Irish mountain ranges, so beautifully wild and rugged.
Cheers David, totally agree that the Derryveaghs are up at the top in terms of mountains in Ireland. That was a really good day for walking and I am sure it was beautiful on Drumnalifferny :-)
Great again Gerry, I thought it was Tom Selleck for a minute :) , the strong winds make for a quick time lapse with the clouds...hope you had dry socks and runners in the car.. :)
Cheers Mark, I now know you are a man of a certain age knowing Tom Selleck - the brilliant Magnum PI - who I copied for my November tash :-) Yep feet were soaking and was good to get the dry stuff on :-)
Hi Gerry, loved the time lapses at the start, great stuff. Lovely sunset over Lough Barra (19.24). It seemed pretty windy, however the wind added to the sense of adventure, i nearly went to get a coat. Any day its not raining its a good day to be out and about. As always, beautiful footage of Donegal and very nicely edited. Buy the way are you using a different camera when your panning around and blogging? I enjoyed the walk 👌
Aidan, i only had the Go Pro with me that day. I usually take it and the DSLR which is great for zooming in on distant views and for up close stuff - it would have added to the day with close ups of Errigal etc. The Go Pro is good for talking to the camera and it was interesting to just be using it on the day as i had to think differently about shots.
Yes, started at the small carpark at the lough and just followed the lough around until i reached the river - it was a bit difficult following the river upstream to find a crossing point though more than manageable :-)
Great views. Windy. The falls are great. Nice time lapse at the beginning.
Brilliant - watching your films is like being up there. Can almost feel the wind and the ground underfoot. Like the new talking Gerry too :)

Tim on your return you will have so much to do :-)
It was a good one. I always enjoy gerry's walks. All the best for 2019 Tim. I hope you can visit. Mark
@@WyeExplorer Hi Mark I will my friend, same too you too :)Tim and Mandy

Must get over to the West coast one day Gerry,those lough's look perfect for kayaking. Donegal looks a cracking county.Another great video mate.
Donegal is perhaps the best county in Ireland :-) Loads of loughs and potential for sea kayaking i would think :-)
Great movie. As always :-)
Thank you Ana :-)
Fantastic video just love it well done 👍👍🇬🇧
Cheers Rod, it is yet another stunning part of Donegal :-)

It definitely was, especially after the clouds lifted !! :-D

I just saw this mountain on book white by grant Allen

Did you start your journey from the parking lot? Where is the path to the river?
Yes, started at the small carpark at the lough and just followed the lough around until i reached the river - it was a bit difficult following the river upstream to find a crossing point though more than manageable :-)
@@gerrymcveigh left or right from the parking lot? Thanks.
@@balor7 left and i have included a map at the end of the video that might be helpful :-)
@@gerrymcveigh thanks Gerry. I wasn't able to make it over to Donegal this year but this video has made me happy.
