+borntohuntvideos That was my first visit to Newcastle, only ever been on to Belfast in the north so it was great to explore. We'll definitely be returning. Thanks for watching
Crikey bro there sure is plenty of rocks up there, if you had a few hours to spare you could have built a holiday cottage with them, lol. Great scenery up there and on the beach. ATB
+KEV JONES Northern Ireland is stunning as is the Republic, we've still got lots more places to explore so hopefully we'll be back there again soon. Thanks for watching Kev
+Jonathan Magee It was a really enjoyable walk, we were really lucky with the weather. I did hear a local women say that they turned back at the saddle last summer due to the crazy amount of midges :-) Thanks for watching Jonathan
Excellent Dean. Almost like Bleaklow on Sea! looked a steep climb in the sun. Look forward to more adventures from the North Atlantic green. ATB Stephen
+Stephen Turnock Northern Ireland is absolutely stunning, as is the Republic. We visited a couple of times and I'm getting hooked :-) thanks for watching Stephen
+Stephen Turnock Thanks for watching Stephen. I have another video going live on Monday from a beach camp then I can get back to making the Ireland video :-)
Thanks for watching, it's a fantastic walk. Hope you have more luck next time with the views, it wasn't looking like we'd get any views from the top but thankfully the cloud parted for a while. All the best, Dean.
Another great place to visit Dean..the views at the top out to sea are amazing & looks a steep but good route up there.is that all the UK & Ireland's highest peaks now ticked off.tfs & atb mate..Andy.
+Andrew Beavers That view from the top was amazing, I'm so glad the cloud cleared :-) We've done all the UK tops and Ireland now so need to plan where to go next, Mont Blanc in France may be a little to soon for our skill levels. Thanks for watching mate, ATB Dean
Great video dean :)....really glad you're uploading again. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and music that accompanies them, and also appreciate the effort it takes to edit them. As always, ATB ....Ryan
+Ryan Duerden Thanks for watching Ryan. It's great to be back uploading again, I've missed it :-) had to take some time off the internet to concentrate on family but all is good now so normal service should resume. I really enjoy making the videos and the music so it's a pleasure even if it does take time. ATB Dean
Really great video mate, well done on making the summit of N.Irelands highest, it looked an awesome walk with great views from the top once it cleared. Fair play to Amy for getting some good training in on the way down. Awesome how you can drive on the beach, looked a really great time mate 😎 Thanks for sharing, ATB Mark
+Mark Taylor outdoors The views were amazing from the top once the cloud cleared, it was breathtaking looking down towards the sea :-) Amy is kicking my arse now with the running and walking, need to up my game a little haha. Thanks for watching mate
Of all the places to go hiking and exploring, I've never considered this pocket of the UK and it's only across the Irish Sea! Thanks for sharing, Dean. Incredible views over the bay from above. How many British mountains can claim that?! ;-)
+Olly Outdoors You should definitely give Ireland and Northern Ireland a look. The whole place should be a national park as it's so beautiful :-) if you get chance head down to the Kerry Mountains as that place is stunning. Thanks for watching Olly
It's a tricky one as the Mourne Mountains are in Northern Ireland which (rightly or wrongly) is in the UK and people there can choose to be either British or Irish. I'd say it's in Ireland though :-)
Nice one Dean look forward to seeing the rest of your adventure. You made Newcastle look a lot nicer than I remember it from 20 years ago! Or maybe it just is a lot nicer now 🤔 gonna have to go back there again and do that walk some time 👍
+DownHillCol Newcastle was quite nice, looks like there had been work done on the promenade, the weather was really nice though so that helps too :-) I'd definitely like to go back to the Mourne Mountains, the view from the top was absolutely spectacular. Thanks for watching Col and hope you're keeping well. ATB Dean
Dean Read ha yeah I must admit the weather was horrible when I went. I'm keeping well thanks just been doing loads of cycling stuff so super busy with that, I'm gonna have to get out wild camping soon it's been to long 😕 hope your all well, atb Col 👍
Those essential Harribo supplies actually will be essential if you run into a diabetic... so if ever you need justification for having them on your persons, you now have it.
Hi Colin, Thanks for watching. Really enjoyed the Mourne Mountains. We drank directly from the stream but I did have a water filter with me. Always carry a Sawyer Mini filter in my first aid kit just incase. I wouldn't drink lower down near the forest but higher up it was clear enough and fast moving over rocks. Couldn't see any dead animals up stream either. All was good :-)
Dean Read yeah I use the Sawyer mini myself was just going to recommend it.. just trying to keep you and your family safe lol Anyway great video and your welcome back anytime.. Take care..
Can't fault the Sawyer filters, been testing their new bottle system and its great. We used to drink unfiltered water all the time in our early twenties but I'm a bit more cautious now :-)
Aye mate, live nearby and you never know when some bastards pissed in it or some dogs gone and shat in it lol, might of been fine anyway? Be really careful drinking water near humans! How long it take you anyway ? :)
Thanks for sharing 👍 I lived on a farm next to the mountains of mourn and I've been up there a few times all the best from me in Birmingham England 😊

It is a nice walk. I was down there earlier this week with my middle son but we just stopped at the saddle as it as very warm.
+Jonathan Magee It was a really enjoyable walk, we were really lucky with the weather. I did hear a local women say that they turned back at the saddle last summer due to the crazy amount of midges :-) Thanks for watching Jonathan

Cheers for the vid Dean, great to the Emerald Isle in all its splendour ATB Glen
+The North-face Wanderer Ireland is beautiful, I have another video coming soon :-) Thanks for watching
I did it yesterday in the mist and rain. It was a great climb, but I had to look at this video to see the views from the top.
Thanks for watching, it's a fantastic walk. Hope you have more luck next time with the views, it wasn't looking like we'd get any views from the top but thankfully the cloud parted for a while. All the best, Dean.
Dean excellent video am heading back there this week the video inspired me mate well done.
Thanks for watching Tez, hope you have a great time :-) All the best, Dean.
Lovely climb, did it last week....think I will go back tomorrow! Stick to the banks for the stream as it is so much nicer!
Thanks for watching Donna, it's a really great walk. One of my favourites from the last few years.

+Ryan Duerden I'd definitely missed uploading, missed the process of editing too :-) thanks again for watching Ryan
Really great video mate, well done on making the summit of N.Irelands highest, it looked an awesome walk with great views from the top once it cleared. Fair play to Amy for getting some good training in on the way down. Awesome how you can drive on the beach, looked a really great time mate 😎
Thanks for sharing, ATB Mark
+Mark Taylor outdoors The views were amazing from the top once the cloud cleared, it was breathtaking looking down towards the sea :-) Amy is kicking my arse now with the running and walking, need to up my game a little haha. Thanks for watching mate
Nice video. Now I know what the view from the top looks like :)
+Paul Freeman so glad the cloud cleared as the view from the top was the part I was looking forward to the most :-) Thanks for watching Paul
I wish I would live next to a beautiful mountain like that. The one right here is not even 200 meters high
Of all the places to go hiking and exploring, I've never considered this pocket of the UK and it's only across the Irish Sea! Thanks for sharing, Dean. Incredible views over the bay from above. How many British mountains can claim that?! ;-)

The Mourne mountains are in Ireland, do they not teach geography in th UK ??
It's a tricky one as the Mourne Mountains are in Northern Ireland which (rightly or wrongly) is in the UK and people there can choose to be either British or Irish. I'd say it's in Ireland though :-)
Olly Outdoors - Olly P-J it’s in the island of Ireland.
I've been here in 2019 October 18th or 28th its a very wonderful hike i was 9 at that time and it was beautiful
Nice one Dean look forward to seeing the rest of your adventure. You made Newcastle look a lot nicer than I remember it from 20 years ago! Or maybe it just is a lot nicer now 🤔 gonna have to go back there again and do that walk some time 👍

Climbed it yesterday for my first time. Will do it again
Another good trip Dean - and more training for Amy :-)
+Flat Broke Frank it was a great little trip, Amy is kicking my arse now with the running so I need to up my game :-) haha. Thanks for watching
Amazing video
+Louis Cutting Thanks for watching Louis
Love running up it and Comedagh
nice, doing it this weekend
Love the music as well as a big TL fan :-)
Thanks for an amazing clip! Can I have your route?
I climbed to the top too last year, as soon as I got to the half way point I regretted my life decisions.
Haha thanks for watching 🤣
Should have talked about how pure the water is.
I’d love to climb this, is it a difficult climb or could I bring along my daughter who is 12 years of age
Thanks for watching, I'm sure an active 12 year old would manage it without any problems 👍
How long did it take you to go up and down please (10k) ?
It took us around 4-5 hours I believe as we took our time and spent a while at the top. Really enjoyed the route and the views are fantastic
Use should give cave hill a go
Its 846m heigh, Its Just a tiddler compared to Everest as 8849 meters.
Those essential Harribo supplies actually will be essential if you run into a diabetic... so if ever you need justification for having them on your persons, you now have it.
Good point Aaron, literally life savers :-) Thanks for watching
Will use this myself
I love the Mournes.. thanks for coming. One question though, were you drinking water directly from the bottle you filled in the stream?
Hi Colin, Thanks for watching. Really enjoyed the Mourne Mountains. We drank directly from the stream but I did have a water filter with me.
