      @@MyBestLife_KM Thanks Kieron. Im so glad you enjoyed it. Its a bit of a different video for me, im usually pretty chatty in my videos but sometimes silence is best. Sometimes just being there and witnessing is all it needs. Let nature do the talking. Thanks for watching

    Alyn, the sights and sounds do all the talking👍👍 Lovely capture of the buzzard. Haven't been up that way in quite a while so cool to be reminded of just how beautiful it is following the Glen River, though you had a cracking day☀

      Doesn't it Gerry! I thought this was so appropriate. But it took me twice as long to film ha ha ha. You get so immersed in all thats going on you forget youre supposed to be hiking! Beautiful day.

    Sometimes you don't need words. Each angle of the landscape spoke to me there as well as the waters and sounds of the mountains hey the prep of the meal. Good going. Mark

      Thanks so much Mark. You are absolutely right. The landscape says all that needs to be said. Sometimes I feel the need to chat more than is really needed, to explain what doesn't need to be explained.

      @@OutdoorswithAdrian its such a different experience Adrian. I loved it but it actually took me longer to film!!!! I was so busy lookin a stuff it took me ages to get up there.

    Nice video, great to capture the Buzzard, nice idea to listen to the sounds of nature and sounds of the hiker too. Had to be difficult for you when you are so used to talking on the videos. Thanks again for the entertainment and taking us to the Mournes while we sit by our fire in comfort.
