Although the Cavan way passes nearby that area, I don't believe it goes through it. You can see the map of the full trail here: www.sportireland.ie/outdoors/walking/trails/cavan-way I hope you get to visit some day! It's lovely area! I'd say it's changed a lot since your grandfather lived there!

This is the first video we ever recorded and were fairly clueless, but also enjoying it 😅 Had to go back into the city, especially with the dog! There's plenty of coverage around those parts and it's only about 15 minutes drive from civilisation so either organising a lift or trying a taxi is the way to go about it, maybe even a hitchhike cos it's a busy spot. We really need more bus routes out that way! For halfway here or the other side of Cruagh woods before Tibradden is the next road. Glencullen or Kilternan a bit further on have some buses (you could even finish up with a pint in johnnie foxes) but it's a decent additional climb up through Cruagh woods and Tibbradden if your fitness level is up for it, ours wasn't at that stage, but maybe now it'd be a bit easier :)

thank you! That’s a big help as I’m not familiar with the area. Good to know it’s easily accessible for a lift

Thanks for the positive comment! :)

Ah Thomas, I have only seen this now! We've used Hiiker later in our trip as we discovered it and it's pretty good for most of the walk! There's a few spots where it hasn't been updated since it was put up but it's useful 95% of it! It only shows the walking route and not the cycling route though. I'm not sure where you can get maps for the cycling route as that might be best for the wheelie bins! Have you started already?

Will edit it out next time! 👌

I agree. More and more young Irish people are sounding American. This couple are a prime example. They both have that silly American twang. They've obviously been brought up watching American TV programmes. Not good.

Thanks Damo 😊

It's definitely a wonderful place for a fresh trout straight from the lake!

We had 2 cars, parked one either end. The only way really. Other alternative is to have a local taxi (or a friend!) collect you and bring you back. I don't think there's any direct buses, Google seems to give options through either Sligo or Manorhamilton for public transport

@@ornat Thank you

We have names for all of them in both languages, but the ones in the Gaelacht tend to be known by their Irish names, like the Slí Gaelacht Mhuscraí

@@ornat sli sounds very like slighe!

It's a pity you don't name the places you pass through, I feel more research should have been done, I lived in Ballinaglera for 11 year and could have done a better job

@@florencedixon9642 ballina glara what is that interpreted to,showing my ignorance of irish,is it bealach or bal as in settlement ,glera ?

@@florencedixon9642 when you're trying to walk the whole beara breifne way it's hard to research every place you pass through, will leave the more descriptive videos for the local experts who live nearby 😉 the focus of the video is more about the walking experience, the scenery and what to expect on the route. It's a good idea for a video though, I just need to get through editing all the rest of the walks we've done first... It's time consuming 😔

Thanks for taking time to give feedback! This video was to share the experience of the walk so if you're looking for a history video this not the right place, we're not experts and don't do a great job here explaining the little we know, we haven't made many videos so don't exactly prepare what we talk about but rather break to talk about the walk. Unfortunately there wasn't much info either on site or online, what I could find is linked below which I found post editing so feel free to check those out if you want to know more!

​@@ornatNo one is asking you to do a history video! Just get together a few facts about holy wells and sweat Houses. Not hard to come by.

@@doloresaquines1529 you're right, it just wasn't the focus of the video when out walking that day 😊

Thanks for the feedback, the free music you get for making videos isn't great unfortunately.

Glad you spotted somewhere you recognised!

Ballygar is an absolutely fantastic spot!

Who are 6

It really was a pity, but it's part of the charm of walking on a new way marked trail! As long as it's still passable, we are happy :)

Me too!

Let's just say it was a bit of our theme song while walking that day.... A bit mad 😂

Hahaha! Yeah we were super clueless tbf! Have done much more walking since... 😅 It was super pretty but a lot of work to get back to the right track

Thanks for the feedback, definitely didn't mean to come across that way. The main focus was the walking route and there was very little info available as it was for some of the sites we stopped at.

my apologies for being negative, that isn't fair to you. this stretch of the Leitrim way (Ballinagleragh/Dowra) is my neighbourhood so I am a little over sensitive about it... I am woking on ways to increase the information available to walkers of this stretch so they can be made more aware of the rich history between Drumshanbo and Blacklion...

@@iliocht it's a beautiful part of the country, you're lucky to live there! We do joke a bit too much in that Irish way of putting things down, but I've found a way to remove some of that nonsense giddiness we had on the day so hopefully it comes across slightly better. Both Leitrim and Cavan ways are some of the best stretches of the Ireland/Beara breifne way 👌 I've heard there's been loads of work done on the Leitrim way in 2021 so hopefully a lot more walkers will walk it!

​@@ornatI am Irish and I certainly Don't "put things down".

@@doloresaquines1529 a great trait to have! 😊

Go early if you want to avoid crowds! I can imagine it'll be very busy this weekend!

Fingers crossed you can make it to Ireland soon enough and travel will become normal again in the very near future! We're all hoping! We're very lucky that Ireland has so much to offer for such a small island!!!! It's made the travel restrictions bearable!

Yeah, had the place to ourselves! Definitely a massive difference to going on a weekend...

Ah thanks for the nice comments 😁 nothing like getting outside and appreciating what we have on our own doorstep to take the mind of all the isolation!!! Found a few places we'd never have seen otherwise had it not been for the walking. I like to call it slow tourism!

Thanks! This took way too long to edit than it needed to!

Thanks for the positivity! 😁 Finally posted the Hymany way which we walked last September! Soon will get around to walks this from this year. The camera broke on the next section so the next video might be a bit tricky to edit!

Haha we're brother and sister 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Aonghus now introduces himself as my brother in some videos to avoid confusion! Glad you enjoyed! It's certainly hard not to travel particularly if you have family abroad you can't see, or even family on the other side of the country when we're at stricter levels! I hope you make it back soon!

Mostly just the yellow walking man waymarker, not quite Camino style! There were a couple fields with plain yellow arrows maybe as temporary waymarkers, also some of the wooded bits have arrows painted on trees to help ☺️

Do you have any social media channels I can follow so I can help promote you?

Not at the moment, just making the videos for the joy of the walking, learning how to put together the videos, and sharing the experience of walking for now :) Might up the game a bit for the 2021 season, but sure we'll see! Haven't gotten out for a decent walk since we finished up in Portumna :( well, I haven't, apart from some local Dublin walks. Aonghus has had some decent walks since out in the west!

For how we were feeling at that point in time and dying to set up camp and rest, it was definitely the right decision for us, but I do feel like we missed out in the castle! 😞 At the time, we said we'd drive back to it when we finished our walk, but we never did! 😓

@@ornat well you didn't miss that much to be honest. I stood at that crossroads for maybe 5 minutes debating the short cut or not. Ah no worries I'll share a pic of the video on my insta anyways.

we both follow you in instagram 🤓 - @0rnat and @aillillaonghusetc (actually, just checked, Aonghus doesn't really use instagram 😜 )

Go for it! it's a great walk! Just remember the waterproof footwear!

Yeah, the suck valley way was really lovely! Get back to the friendly villages post-pandemic!

I think some of the trails are getting great improvements year on year as the popularity of the Beara Breifne way grows, definitely a few changes since you did it yourself, but that bog outside Ballaghaderreen and the glove on the stick was still there, took a shot just for the craic! Thanks for the inspiration to get the walking done! Appreciate how much work goes into the editing after doing a few videos myself... 2 more yet to finish from last year (we made it as far as Portumna), but finding the time to edit is the hardest part!

@@ornat Yeah, it's some undertaking and getting the time can be a killer and frustrating but take your time with it. It took me a very long time to get all the video's edited because life gets in the way and this is not your full-time job. The effort and time the people of the BBW put into it are amazing. I know I got annoyed now and again but I was tired and cranky, ha! The BBW has the makings of something very special and it's getting there.

Thanks Ciara!

Thanks Ciara!!

Thanks 😁

Glad you like it, now on to the next one!

I recommend doing this walk with your sister

Sure it's a great walk to do with anyone!

Thanks! Using the Canon G7X mark ii, handy to stick away in a pocket when it's raining, just not the best sound quality when it's super windy but use a skinny micro muff with it when outside :) got a scratch on the lens during one of the hikes but it still seems to be working for the most part!
