Hi George. Thank you for your message. Yes, it was chilly in the morning. It was a very enjoyable camp. Catching that sunrise was a beautiful experience. All the best 👍
Oh wow Andrew!! That was amazing!! What a sight to have seen - wonderful to have a record of those views with a video. The crunch of the frost when you opened your tent 😂How lucky were we to have experienced those conditions especially after such a blustery night. The calmness that morning really was surreal! Fab to have met you out there - a wonderful New Year treat! 😎
Hi Miriam. It was wonderful!! as you say " after a blustery night" It is great to witness and record it. You set up the camera and hope the batteries last and that you have the right settings. Its only when you get home that you know if it is any good or not. It is nice to share the experience on here. The calmness was really nice, we were indeed lucky to experience it. Great to meet and chat with you. Take care 👍
Hi Kris and Izabel. Thank you. It was a frosty morning, but surprisingly, it was not really cold. It was very calm. The sunrise was beautiful. Take care 👍
Great post Andrew! Liked the simple beginning of opening the car boot to get your stuff out. From dark to light, and the adventure begins. You really know how to tell a story, with no words at all. This is only the second post of yours I've seen, so I dont know if you actually talk in front of the camera; but this one didnt need it. And the subtle, gentle music really worked and added mood in this post..without distraction or overwhelming the stunning photography! Wow..is all I can say! Cant believe you met Miriam! I really like Miriam, and watching her posts inspired me to go wild camping again after a gap of many years..bless her! When I saw all the frost on the inside of the fly sheet, in the morning; I laughed a little, I have to admit. The previous shot was you boiling water for your meal, and there was steam everywhere. However, when I saw the frost on the outside of the tent (brilliant tent👍) I realized just how cold the air must have been on that frosty morning. Another great post matey, I'm looking forward to the next one.😃
Hi Tim. Thank you 👍. Yes it was a lovely surprise to bump into Miriam. I had bumped into her once before when out hiking. A soulful lady and a great source of information on gear and camping spots. So it made the experience one of the best. Glad you liked the music 🤣. Thanks again 👍
Hi Adam. Thanks for your message. Wicklow is my favourite spot to hike and camp. You won't be disappointed if you visit. Thanks again for your comment 👍 it is much appreciated.
Hi Andrew , we met you that afternoon on your way up! Great video, what a morning you got . To bump into yourself and Miriam. I had hoped you were both ok that night. Best wishes. Neil
Hi Neil. Yes I remember meeting you ( there was three of you ?? ) I am glad you enjoyed the sunrise. You had a mucky trip down from there. Yes it was a surprise to meet Miriam, I told her I had met someone who had been at Kellys lough and she mentioned you recognized her. Its a small world. Hopefully we will meet again. Take care
“I’ve looked at this from both sides now” 🎶😄I saw Miriam’s video last week and considered that she had the better camping spot, but seeing this time lapse and the beautiful dawn upon the mountain it’s a much a tougher call. Beautiful location and nicely captured. Enjoyed this.
Hi. Thank you. Miriam probably had the " Prime real estate by the lake" and it is a beautiful spot. My plan was the higher ground to get the colder weather to check out some new winter gear I had bought. It was a really moving experience to witness the cloud and sunrise. I stopped the timelapse a tad too early due to the freezing conditions as the gopro plays up sometimes when its cold. The camp out and meeting Miriam again made it a great start to the new year. Im glad you enjoyed it.👍
Hi. I used a Polish brand. its a Pajak core 550 pajaksport.com/sleeping-bags/core-49/core-550-20#Navy and inside it I used a Sea to summit Thermolite reactor liner. I picked it up in a Black Friday sale on the Alltricks.com site. Have only been out in it once, but happy with it. It gives me the confidence to know that I can go out in heavy frost. 🥶
Hi Stuart. Thanks for your comment. Yes the cloud inversion was fantastic, it was my first time to witness one. It was a very memorable camp. It was nice to unzip the door and see that the wind had died down and it was clear. I see you had snow on your last camp. nice one. Take care and have a good 2023👍
Hi Adrian. Thanks for your comment, It was a rough night in the tent with the wind but the next morning was dead calm. Glad you liked it. Take care and have a happy new year👍
Thanks for your comment and sub. It was the best solo camp I have done. It was a fantastic sunrise, cameras don't do it justice. Best of luck with your first challenge of the year 👍🏃♂
Hi Gerry. Thank you for your message. The sunrise was amazing to witness. It was a nice surprise to get such a clear morning after a misty night. Miriam gets excellent drone footage. Yours is excellent as well 👏. It's nice to see places from the sky, it gives a different perspective. Take care 👍
Hi Paul. Thanks for your comment. It was a spectacular morning, so lucky to be able to capture it. Glad you like it. A Tripod 🤔 your right !!, two trekking poles a piece of a tree and a rubber band just don't do it, I gave up after the third attempt. Take care and a happy new year.👍
Hi Andrew, cracker video! The time lapse at 2:51 was just amazing, I can just feel the heat of the early sun coming up on such a frosty morning, brilliant!
Thank you. Yes it was great to witness it. Luckily the camera kept going as it was playing up a bit due to the cold. But yes, that will keep me going for a while. Thanks again for your message, I really appreciate it 👍
Hi Niall. Thank you, yes it was a beautiful morning and sunrise. It was my coldest and also my most memorable trip to the mountains. Thank you for your comments and support throughout the year. Have a happy 2023.👍👍
Thank you for your nice comment and sub. I think your name might be Brad ?? not sure. you have some interesting videos, and some big mountains. have a powerful 2023 👍

Stunning sunrise
Thank you for your comment.
It was indeed stunning and so calm and peaceful. Cameras don't do it justice. Take care 👍
I'm ashamed to say I'm Irish and haven't explored the Wicklow mountains! But you've certainly inspired me to do so forthwith 👍
Hi Adam. Thanks for your message. Wicklow is my favourite spot to hike and camp. You won't be disappointed if you visit. Thanks again for your comment 👍 it is much appreciated.

Can I ask which sleeping bag you used Andrew?
Hi. I used a Polish brand. its a Pajak core 550 pajaksport.com/sleeping-bags/core-49/core-550-20#Navy
and inside it I used a Sea to summit Thermolite reactor liner. I picked it up in a Black Friday sale on the Alltricks.com site. Have only been out in it once, but happy with it. It gives me the confidence to know that I can go out in heavy frost. 🥶
@@Andrew......... thanks for this info👍 will look into this.
Great video and fantastic footage, that cloud inversion looked amazing. Looks like you had a great camp 👍👍

Hi Gerry. Thank you for your message. The sunrise was amazing to witness. It was a nice surprise to get such a clear morning after a misty night. Miriam gets excellent drone footage. Yours is excellent as well 👏. It's nice to see places from the sky, it gives a different perspective. Take care 👍
@@Andrew......... yes she does and it takes a bit of work to do what she does you should purchase a drone and start highlighting your stuff
I have thought about it Gerry. Maybe in the future, I might have to book a few lessons with you. 👍
@@Andrew......... look up drone works Ireland he has reconditioned ones that won’t cost you much and they have a year warranty
Andrew absolute class video. That sunrise with those clouds rolling over was something else. Great job. A tripod does help😂
Hi Paul. Thanks for your comment. It was a spectacular morning, so lucky to be able to capture it. Glad you like it. A Tripod 🤔 your right !!, two trekking poles a piece of a tree and a rubber band just don't do it, I gave up after the third attempt. Take care and a happy new year.👍
