Nigel, Woke up to this little gem in my subscriptions list this morning and was surprised as I'd not expected another video from you so soon after the last, even though you'd mentioned Ireland was next. Watching this was a nice way to start my day, and certainly more scenic than my current training walks (mostly on local roads) here in NZ. Loved the ruined buildings of the Monastic City, and appreciated the written explanation you provided. I have a few walks in Ireland on my "if I ever get there, but probably never will" list. My anticipation for next year's U.K. adventure is ramping up, and this video helped crank that another notch or two.
Lovely video thanks. Glad you managed to get good weather. I'm just about to start backpacking and the Wicklow Way is definitely on my to do list. Looking forward to part 2
@@AmblingTrails I've walked mine around the Sheep's Head, Beara, Kerry, and Dingle Ways, and for a good bit of the Appalachian Trail, and they've never let me down. Brilliant shoes. Anyway, I love your work, happy trails to you!
Well that's interesting, I've been looking for you! Not sure if you are aware but recently released the first part of my series for the Kerry Way ruclips.net/video/UE7LR8GM73U/видео.html Later on in the series I ask has anybody done the Kerry Way and Beara Way and how do they compare? Hope you don't mind me asking.
@@AmblingTrails I’ve walked the Beara Way twice (‘22 and ‘24), and the Kerry Way in ‘23. I loved both of them but the Beara is my favorite of all of them, so far. It’s quite a bit less traveled, the peninsula itself is a bit “wilder” in terms of its geology, and, while there is a bit of road walking, many of the B&B owners will give you a lift to cut out the more onerous bits. If you’re on Facebook, I started The Beara Way group a while back. There are quite a few members who’ve done it recently and they’re all happy to answer questions. As I said, I loved both. The Kerry Way has one of my favorite walks, that bit from the Black Valley to Glencar. I hope this is useful. I’m always happy to chat about walking in Ireland (or anywhere, really). I’d love to do the Wainwright Coast-to-coast walk one day.
A bit less travelled and wilder, that's what I want to hear, suspect I will be doing that next year, thanks for the reply. Did the Coast to Coast last year and really enjoyed it, this is my version which you might find useful in planning ruclips.net/video/YmKwewXbBiY/видео.html
Beautiful hills and mountains, especially the sunset and cloud inversion near the end. Liked the choice of music too. Wish a could persuade any of my kids to walk and camp with me!
Thanks Catherine, yes I’m very lucky that the kids(!) will accompany me on these adventures. Appreciate the comment and the nod to the music is helpful as well. Cheers, Nigel
Absolutely amazing nice sound. Guys I recommended you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak Gilgit-Baltistan Barah Valley. Add this sound in your bucket list. Moses peak is open zone family trek.
Hi Nigel! Home from my own Irish Adventure! I tried to paste some photos on this comment to help you locate that wild camping spot toward the end of the Pennine Way, near Windy Gyle. It won’t allow me to. If you have the Trailblazer guide book by Stuart Greig, it is on Map 128; turn onto Clennell Street, and bear left about 1 mile down.
Hey, thanks for the info, really appreciate the thought. As it happens Trailblazer guide books are my preferred choice, so that’s great. Not sure when I’ll get to do the PW as early as I hoped but that will give me time to plan and hopefully identify the spot. Hope you guys enjoyed your Irish adventure. ATB, Nigel
What beautiful scenery. I’m enjoying the start of your latest adventure. Looking forward to the next chapter
Thanks, glad you’re enjoying the Irish adventure. Cheers

same!

Glad you enjoyed and I hope you get chance to do it. Have fun with the backpacking. Cheers
@@AmblingTrails I have no excuse - I live in Ireland..
@suegillett2173 😂 indeed!
Great photography!
Cheers!
Beautifully crafted. Thank you!
Glad you appreciate it. Thanks. Nigel.
Great video! I like the Topo Ultraventures, too. I'll be walking my own pair around the Wicklow Way in two weeks or so.
Well spotted, I love Topo's! Hope you have a great hike on the Wicklow, ATB. Nigel

😖Typical Ireland, NO DOGS!
Afraid, so!!
Its a shame about those conifer plantations..horrible..
Totally agree, the trail would be significantly better without them!
From what i know the hostel was used for ukraine 🇺🇦 housing but is now back open as a hostel for hikers etc.
Thanks Brian for this interesting piece of info. Cheers
You can blame Hozier for the Marley park situation
Thanks for the info.
