Glenbarrow Eco Walk
This walk was a great find, good for all types of walkers ,great for dogs also, kids will love the adventure part of the walk including trying to find the lost village the waterfalls are beautiful, and the trees make you dizzy when you look up. the echo part of the walk is 10k which begins on a slow incline through the forest onto a road then into a side track gradually reaching the top, this route also includes the waterfalls.

Inchavore valley to lough Dan, Wicklow, Ireland.
Переглядів 4263 місяці тому
Lough Dan is a gorgeous hidden lake tucked away in Wicklow Mountain National Park. With not many visitors compared to the nearby loughs, Dan Lake is a serene place to hike, go for a dip or just enjoy a picnic in the sun if you’re lucky. Although, there isn’t a lot of information about Lough Dan walk online, and the reason is that back in 2020, during the COVID pandemic, the owner of the estate ...
Day 5 Porta del regina to Estella
Переглядів 1973 місяці тому
At times, this walk was very challenging , the first hill out of puente la Reina was tough, after that and through out the walk you will come across some short but steep climbs which will have you out of breath but should be no problem to you after getting this far, at this point fatigue will be setting in, take your breaks drink your water sit down and chat with your fellow camino"s then up an...
Day 4 Pamplona to Puente la Reina
Переглядів 2504 місяці тому
A plesent day at times, the walk from Pamplona to the outskirts brings you through a few urban areas until you get to jacob's way then the journey begins.we were very suprised when we got to the top of Alto Del Perdon, because we were expecting a steeper climb according to the map so not as steep as you think.
Zubiri to Pamploma Day 3
Переглядів 3004 місяці тому
This is a handy walk mainly down hill, leaving Zubiri at a height of 550 meters and arriving in pamploma at a height of 450 meters, a nice walk were you will enter the Basque country, were it is as green as Ireland, when it rains it can get a bit dangerous coming down the path ways. also remember to stop for something to eat and drink.
Roncevaux to Zubiri Day 2
Переглядів 5334 місяці тому
Roncevaux to Zubiri is a easy 22km walk going from a hight of 880 meters to 520 meters.The thing i would say about this walk is were boots or some form of ankle support because at times, actually the last quarter of the walk is very rocky and has razor sharp slates that could do you some damage, so watch out and go slow.bien Camino everybody.
St Jean Pied de port to Roncevaux Day 1
Переглядів 2,1 тис.4 місяці тому
St Jean Pied de port to Roncevaux took us just over 7 hours not including breaks, this is probably the hardest climb of the camino and a bit of training is needed for this, The trail tips along nicely with a few small hill nothing to worry about their, when you leave France and enter spain its a gradual incline from here ,mostly by road, this can get a bit monotonous so they then bring you off ...
Fraughan Glen Waterfall
Переглядів 1895 місяців тому
n my opinion this hike is dangerous for the inexperience hiker, because their is no trail to speak off, no signal, when the fog comes your visibility is down to zero, the ground is rough and rugged and your more likely to twist or even break you leg, the map that you download is liable to be inaccurate as in position and slow. i would avoid this route if possible.not for the inexperienced.If yo...
Fore Abbey

Fore Benedictine Abbey The Christian monastery at Fore was founded by St Feichin in 630AD.

Leitrim village to Drumshambo Canal Walk

Our google maps put us at the marina in the village for our canal walk, however it got a bit confusing, so to save you the trouble, head up the town and swing left , look for the sign battlebridge follow this route to the canal roughly about 1 Km out of the town. The walk is a pleasant walk and would advise runners plenty of areas to sit and enjoy a picnic. Drumshambo is a lovely area and we ha...
The Boyne Camino

Unfortunately due to road works at Obelisk Bridge - 1868 a Single-span iron girder road bridge over River Boyne, was getting upgraded.So we were unable to complete the full walk. Mellifont Abbey was the first Cistercian monastery in Ireland. St Malachy of Armagh founded it in 1142 with a small number of monks sent by St Bernard from Clairvaux. The abbey imported its formal style of architecture...
Clotherhead and the waterproof socks

This is a fantastic seaside route that offers beautiful scenery on a clear day. It's a flat and easy-going route that is suitable for most ages and abilities, so a wonderful opportunity to get outdoors. This is a coastal walk so make sure to pay special attention to the tide times before setting out. This 16.0-km out-and-back trail near Clogherhead, County Louth is generally considered an easy ...

Situated to the south of Dublin city Cruagh or Coill Na Craobhai is one of three mountain summits (Kilakee & Glendoo the others) identified as such on OS maps though it differs little in altitude from its immediate surroundings. At its highest point it is some 522m above sea level and offers probably the best views (weather permitting) over Dublin city and surroundings which lies in the flat pl...

Hi Paul. I hiked the Mournes this morning and climbed Donard, but absolutely nothing to see from the top, it was so cloudy and foggy at the summit the visibility was zero.My hope was to do both Donard and Commedagh once I got to the wall but we had a weather warning for today and even at this early stage of the morning the fog was just so thick that I came straight down from Donard and got back to Donard Park before the real bad weather hit. The views on the way up and on the way down were spectacular. I started out at 6am and altogether I was hiking for about 5 and a half hours. Thank you again for this video.
A most excellent job!
@@RC_Farm thanks dude
Paul thank you so much for uploading this, I will be hiking the Mournes in August and I've watched this video a couple of times already, and no doubt I'll be watching and studying it even more in the coming weeks. Very well done to you all by the way
Thanks jason a struggle at the end but worth it, plenty of water and breaks, it dosent matter how long it takes ,as long as you get their, enjoy it and remember to sit down and enjoy the beauty of the mourns, to many people these days trying to beat times and dont see the beauty thats around them.let me know how you get on.👍
@@walkthewalkswithpaul8096 You're absolutely right Paul, it's always best to do it at a comfortable pace and take in all of the surroundings..... people do try to go fast sometimes but if you try to break records you'll only end up breaking bones instead. I'll be setting out at 7am just to give myself plenty of time
just back from doing Slieve Donard, tough walk and we made it all the way to the top, approx 5hr round trip with a 15min break due to heavy rain

i am really chaffed to follow irish people on the camino, ireland is waking up thank god, so are the germans too. buen camino. i was never in ireland, know england well because my daughter lived in london and been to edinburgh, canterbury, york, winchester, salisbury, leicester - david ickes town - and others.
Thank you
Trojans! Well done yet again.
Another tough day. Good on you for walking all day in the rain. Hope you’ve got a rest day coming soon. You’ve certainly earned it. Buen camino.
Rest day in pamplona thank god, in fact the following day was sunny which gave us that holiday feeling 👍
I was trying to recall where Dogarea was. Then I worked out what it really said.😂😂😂 I’m enjoying your camino.
I did the Cuilcagh Mountain today Paul all the way to the top. A great climb and the boardwalk definitely did help, but the weather just didn't cooperate.....it got so bad at times the Stairway to Heaven felt more like the Highway to Hell (666 metres remember 😈) but there were some clearer intervals. I'd say it took me 2 hours up and 1 hour 50 mins down.
Ah the weather dont you just hate it, when it turns on you. Done this walk twice and the weather was bad, their is a better hike if ur interested from the opposite side of the Stairway its a bit rugged but more interesting its one of my videos call stairway to heaven via Ben Beg👍
Hi agree with everything you said, especially don't look up. 😮 was so glad to see the little white church. Tough hike but so glad i done it.
Was talking to a couple of guys yesterday and they said their is now some steps near the top but it makes the walk a little bit harder.😬
That looked like a very tough day. Thanks for another great video & for sharing your journey with us.
Anne that was a tough day in fact that climb was higher than the highest mountain in ireland, but what an achievement anne, the 2 girls done great as they haven't climbed that height before. And a well deserved rest and a pint.😅😅
Fantastic. Love the aerial shots as and small villages 👏 Enjoy the Camino.

Well done to all for staying with the hike. The rain added to the experience along with the down trees.
To be honest once you start you might as well finish it, the trees were a small distraction from the rain 🤣🤣
