I actually watched you a few yrs ago Derek when I was in America it kept me in touch with home.Then low and behold you were in America too doing the big trek lol and I really enjoyed those videos. I lost touch for a while with your videos and I found you again a couple of months back.Loving the videos Derek.
This is amazing stuff. I love the connection to nature, the poetic sense of place and how far we have come. Keep up the good work. Great to see there are more connected souls 😁 sending peace, love and Joy
New subscriber, friend. What got me, was when you recited that Poem by William E. Strafford, who described himself as 'one of the quiet of the land.' My late grandmother, Katy Cosgrove, came from a village in North Mayo, Gweesalia. Synge stayed there, and wrote 'The Playboy of the Western World'. My old grandad, Joseph Cannon, was from Lettermacward, Donegal, in the Rosses. Because I've not visited Ireland before, writing their names here kind of allows me to keep them alive.
Fascinating stuff, I can imagine the energy of such a place could be felt. It seems that for hundreds of thousands of years humans have respected their dear ones by the efforts they’ve gone to bury them. We now spend a lot of money and energy discovering these places so that we can learn about the lives of people in the past. We also rely on the written word leaving us messages and knowledge. Neither of of which we seem to leave for future generations
The Carrowkeel Passage tombs are certainly mysterious and fascinating - but what is a bit more strange is that this video should have far more Views and Likes... You've made a fine video, showing the landscape from a human point of view (not from a drone!) and you've been brave to crawl into these spaces and film from within. A job very well done!
I often go to places like this to find the comfort of silence and the sense of loneliness leaves me. My companion is the sense of self in the quiet. I feel lonely in the noise of others when I'm disconnected from them. This grounds me.
i like your video and your narrative,it doesnt surprise me any more that great places are reduced to attractions,unfortunately,ireland follows money,nothing else,buildings,places and people are very slightly thought of,thanks for the video,its so cool
Hi Phillip, I don't live all that far from here so didn't need to stay anywhere. However, I did actually rent a room in Carrick on Shannon on this evening :)
And right there, at the very start, with your first words, you state why those tombs exist up there in the misty mountains...to the Ancients' minds the paths up those mountains were exactly that: stairways to heaven - the sun, the moon, the stars, the blue sky...
Ah brilliant I am fairly planted when I watch your videos,because the world now seems to be in a bit of a free fall.our ancestors had a different mindset and approach to life.Thanks for life.👍
You shouldn't be entering the tombs and telling you tube to come do the same and cause damage. They were empty for 4000 years up until recently and now its on you tube as a free for all. Our country an culture is gone to the wind.

Thank you for all the smiles and food for the soul 🥰
My pleasure 😇

You're an old soul for sure. Fair play to you crawling into those cairns!!
haha thank you!

Ya missed the best spot up there. There's an underground cave just beyond that fence you crossed over towards the end of the video.
What have we become .... Indeed.
Thanks for posting 👍🏼 ✨
Haha cheers yep the apple is far from the tree !
@@DerekCullenOutdoors 🍏
Nice....got me thinking...in enjoyable silence ! Thanks fella, really enjoyed this.
My pleasure, Kevin - cheers !
I love Sligo but have not been to Carrowkeel. Thanks always for your videos 💚
My 1st job nearly 30 yrs ago age 18 was packing Carowkeel salmon in a Limerick fish factory!!
Haha no way! I wonder if that’s why you’re so wise - handing all them fish of wisdom :)

Love this. Great words great silence. Loved the words you didnt say. You da man. God bless
Thanks so much 💚

Anyone walking up carrowkeel be careful, lots of hidden sink holes, Magical Place

Love the dander up into carrowkeel :-)
It’s a beauty isn’t it. Nice and sheltered in the middle section too :)
Loved that! Where did you stay while you were out there?
Hi Phillip, I don't live all that far from here so didn't need to stay anywhere. However, I did actually rent a room in Carrick on Shannon on this evening :)
I think there is a massivecastle, pyramid or structure of some kind under this rocks, buried under earth after an ancient cataclysm.
That would be magical if it’s true ✨
Ireland is the center of the universe…

I appreciate you letting me know this, Derrick. Cheers to you aswell :)

Could you please let the English know Newgrange is significantly older than Stonehenge. And tell them to get over their pile of bricks
haha
It's also a much better build, structurally sound and intact after thousands of years, too. Meanwhile, Stonehenge is falling apart.
