Nice drone footage, lovely video. Nice views up in the mountains. Thank you for sharing 😊
Hallo Arnstein. Takk.
I am glad you enjoyed the video👍
Andrew this is the best film so far❤ Amazing pitch pal. You’re skilled with the drone. Unbelievable views. You got the perfect weather for it
Hi Paul. Thank you. The weather was great, nice and calm which is needed for that spot. its a bit exposed but you get great views from there. Its nice to just sit there and hear the last of the day hikers disappear down the valley below and then silence !! you know yourself with the drone, it takes practice to learn the controls and then have the Ba**s to let it off into the distance. Thanks again for your message. All the best 👍
A great spot with many fond memories, I walked by there last Friday . .. a place not many see sunset at .
When you sit there with a packet of tayto and a slice of buttered white bread ., you have truly seen Ireland . .
Lovely sharing Andrew .
Brilliant visuals .
That is a tricky descent on even a good day
Thank you for your kind comments Owen.
Yes it is a great spot. Its a long time since I had a crisp sandwich 😂. The decent is very tricky alright, its very wet and had to do a bit of backtracking. I agree that you need a good clear day to be on the safe side. Thanks for you support, and take care 👍
@@Andrew......... Your aerial shots were second to none . . I loved seeing it from a different angle . .
I don't know if it's ever dry up there , but there is the occasional dry day . Glad you made it back safe , what a place to pitch
Hi Owen. Thanks, its taking a while to getting used to flying it, but Im happy with the footage. The time of day and the light seems to play a big part. The pitch was grand, a bit of a slope but a rolled up poncho did the trick of keeping me on the mattress.
@@Andrew......... I have a rule with the drone , to always keep it's back to the sun . Where possible . .
It is so hard seeing the screen in daylight 😂
Your orbit of the tent is a masterpiece
This was a treat Andrew what a beautiful mountain landscape portrayed perfectly mate 🏔️👌🏻🤠
Nice pitch too and super weather to go with it 🙏🏼
Great film
Best regards Simon 🤠👍🏔️
Hi Simon. Thank you 😊. Yes, the weather was perfect. The pitch is in a perfect spot, although not the flattest 😅. It's great for taking in and admiring the valley below. Hope things are going well for you and your family. All the best 👍
@@Andrew......... all well thanks Andrew hope yours are doing well too 🙏🏼😃great film 😃👍
What a beautiful hike! And amazing shots with the drone combined with the soundtrack 😍
Hi Daphne. Thank you for your nice message. It was a beautiful day for hiking and camping. Glad you liked it. Have a great weekend 👍
Cracking spot Andrew , really enjoyed this one 👍🏻😎
Hi Colin. Thank you. Its a nice spot. Great for watching the start of the day. All the best 👍
Really enjoyed that . Beautifully simple , stunning scenery and good choice of music too 👍💚
Hi Mark. Thank you for your kind comments and for subscribing. Picking music is not a strong point for me, so I will take that compliment 😊. I notice you haven't put up a video for a while. I hope you are still getting out hiking and camping. Thanks again for taking the time to comment. All the best 👍
Great walk Andrew. Its such a special place. I love Fraughan Rock Glen. You got a spectacular place to camp and fantastic weather too. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Alyn. Thank you. It is one of my favourite places in Wicklow. Its a camp spot that I have wanted to capture on video for a while now, so when the weather was good and clear , I went for it. Its great to see you getting out in the tent a lot yourself. All the best 👍
Great video Andrew! Gorgeous scenery! Haven't been there myself, but planning on in a few weeks.
Hi Donal. Thank you. The scenery on the day was fantastic. That area is one of my favorite for hiking and camping. you wont be disappointed if you visit. Most mountainous areas in Ireland are beautiful on a good clear day ( if you could get one 😂) All the best 👍
You certainly possibly got the one flat spot up there! 😊 Did you notice if the sign regarding the zig zag access is still sitting on top of Cloghernagh? I heard Mr Dunne was going to remove it as it stopped me from descending from Cloghernagh to Arts Lough the last time I was there - possibly 7 months ago in fairness. Lovely to see you got great conditions to show off the landscape, drone shots were fab 😎 Lots of fun and adrenaline with it no doubt!! 🤩
Wonder about that too Miriam
Hi Miriam, and the flat spot was not very flat 🙃. I didn't see any signs this time around. I know the signs you are talking about as I spotted them about 12 months ago. There seems to be no issue from Cloghernagh to Arts lough. There were a good few hikers using that trail on their way back from Lug. The zig zags are still off limits, which is a shame. The night went well in the tent. I am happy with the drone footage, the good weather helped. Thanks for your support 👍, and hopefully I will bump into you in Wicklow soon. All the best.
@@Andrew......... that’s great to hear 🤩
Great to see you back filming Andrew and what a spot for it 👌 You're drone skills have been getting some practice, lots of great shots there 👏
Hi Niall. Thank you.
Yes it is a great spot for watching the start of the day. The drone takes a bit of getting used to, you know yourself !! Eventually you have to let it go off into the distance and hope that it comes back . I have got out a few times recently, whenever there is a break in the weather. Hope things are well with you. All the best
👍
Lovely that Andrew. What a stunning area! Cheers
Hi Martin.
Thank you. Yes it is a beautiful spot, especially when the weather is clear. It was a lovely night and morning. It was great to get back into the mountains for a night. All the best
👍
Hi Andrew great show, beauty of a sunrise hopefully get to bump into u sometime this year. All the best
Hi Steven. Thank you. I was very lucky with the weather and got to witness a beautiful sunrise. Yes !! definitely say hello if we ever meet. all the best 👍
Lovely video Andrew
Hi George. Thank you. The weather was good, nice and clear. Its great to have the few extra hours of sunlight now. Thanks again for your support 👍. All the best .
Awesome Video Andrew. Helm 1,s are a solid tent👍
Hi Brendan. Thank you for your nice comment. Yes, I agree, the Helm is a great tent. Great to have the longer evenings now, more time outside the tent to explore. All the best.
Great video Andrew, I just subscribed 👍
Hi Gerard. Thanks for your message and subscription. I see from your videos that you have been hiking around this part of Wicklow yourself. All the best 👍
Nice watch, I really liked the drone shots. Looks a magical place Wicklow, We are trying to get down there in a few weeks time 👍
Hi Geoffrey. Thank you. I am relatively new to the world of drone flying and still have my L plates on 😧.I was very pleased at the way the footage turned out. It was great to get out and have good weather for a change . I have visited your neck of the woods ( The Mournes) once and will visit again. All the best 👍
@@Andrew......... it definitely has turned out well, fair play for getting them shots. I’ve had my drone a year and a bit and lost one as well 😂 so I’m definitely still on the L plates. The mournes are brilliant and some good camp spots. Keep up the great flying 👍
Glad to have found your channel. A real pleasure to watch
Hi Joe. Thank you for your kind message. I'm glad you liked it. The conditions were perfect for capturing nice footage. All the best 👍
Well Andrew, that looked like a lovely little spot to spend the night and it is very unusual for the weather to be so good 😄 Happy days 🍀
Hi Jason. Yes, it is a lovely spot on a clear and calm day. It was great to see the sunrise light up the valley below. Thanks for your message, and I hope your back is feeling better these days. All the best 👍
Great video. Looks like a fabulous spot.
Without giving away too much 😉 what mountain would you recommend for a first timer?
Hi Tony. That's a tough question. I am going to assume you are from Dublin ?? If you are a regular hiker then I would suggest in Wicklow , Lough Ouler or Stoney top Mountain which is just above it are good. Kellys Lough is also good ( its a bit of a trek into it). Or maybe an Island camp ?? Inishboffin is a spectacular place to spend a night and no mountains to climb 🙂. Its hard to recommend somewhere when you dont know the person.
Camping equipment and what you will need for the night weighs considerably more than a day hike bag. On my first camp, my bag weighed 14 kg and I was wrecked after 3 km and that was walking on the flat. I hope this is some help. Thank you for subscribing 👍. all the best.
What a beautiful spot to camp! Question is a private owned land? Can everyone camp there without permission? Thanks
Hi.
Thank you.
Yes the land is privately owned and technically you shouldn't camp. I was on my own and set up just before dark and moved just after sunrise. It is a spot that is not easy to get to and is secluded. I left no trace and didn't light a fire.
All the best 👍
