A strenuous yet rewarding hike & camp - Glencorbet Horseshoe, Twelve Bens Connemara
This is a strenuous walk but so rewarding when you have the weather like I did to take in the views. I’d imagine most walkers would complete this as a day hike but a high camp was certainly attractive given the conditions. The small lakes at Benbrack and An Lochán on the Benbaun descent provided me with enough water for the duration of the hike and camp. The visibility was spectacular throughout and it definitely paid to wait until good conditions allowed me to see where I was going and that I could show the place off. The traditional Glencorbet Horseshoe route excludes the ascent of small Benbaun and Mucanacht - but sure why not!

Переглядів 7 тис.4 місяці тому
Having never seen the entire Ring of Kerry before, I took the opportunity to cycle a loop of the Iveragh peninsula on my Brompton. Altogether on this trip, I cycled about 185/190km and camped for 3 nights along the way. This is a wonderful loop which brings you through a number of small yet busy towns and includes coastal views with some mountain passes thrown in for luck. This is a popular rou...

      Hi Anthony - thank you!! Wishing you a wonderful 2025 also. I’ve been using the Outdooractive App for a few years. I’ve just purchased a Garmin watch so I hope to start using my watch for navigation now rather than my phone on the hills…on the bike I’ll likely stick with Outdooractive on my phone for now. I buy all my Rab gear from the SportPursuit website - they have much better prices than general outdoor stores and we don’t get stung for customs charges on delivery to Ireland. It can take 2 weeks or more to get your item delivered so if you’re not in a rush, I find it the most economical way to purchase Rab gear 😉

      None planned…I’ve lost interest in watching and making videos for now. I’m still going out quite often but not posting any videos about it. I’ve taken on a challenge of camping on every county high point in Ireland over the next year. I started in mid October and I might make a video at the end of that experience to tell the story of what that was like to do (assuming I stick with it and finish it). That being said - I could feel the pull to make a video before then and if I do I’ll go for it but for now I don’t feel the pull to do it…it’s great to have the memories that I have with these videos but there was always a subtle feeling of finding it a little ‘off’ for me to post videos. I’ve never felt quite at home with it unfortunately! 🫣

      Hi Michael - there is a definite route but you’d be wise to go with a gpx route or read up on the route so you know some of the markers to watch out for.

    Thank you, I really enjoyed watching your trip. The Brompton looks awesome. Beautiful beaches. Just goes to show that a cycling trip doesn’t need to be months away from home to recharge. Keep on riding 👋

    Love your style and presentation. As an Irishman living in the Peak District who gets out as much as possible over here you have set a touch-paper for me to get home to do more in my homeland. I’ve walked a tiny bit of Donegal but you have expanded my horizons to what is available. Thank you.

    • @MiriamKennedy

      Thank you John! That’s lovely of you to say 😊 I’m kept busy exploring over here anyway and I realise that I’ve still so much more to see. You must be very content with your hiking over in the Peak District! Our lesser mountains await your visits…thanks so much for your message - really nice to receive 🤗

    The rock formations look like Inukshuk/inuksuk from the Iqaluit people. Just found your channel and am enjoying several videos. Good lord, Ireland is so much like Newfoundland.

    What a beautiful hike! That scenery was amazing. Sorry I am a bit late checking your latest video out. You Tube no longer tells me when you post so I have to go looking. This was such a peaceful video. Love the music combined with the wonderful drone shots. Your smiling face throughout shows how at peace you are with live. Thanks for taking us along.

      Awww thank you for your lovely message! A hike I’m keen to keep remembering - it felt so great to get conditions like this to see the range in all its glory 😊 It always feels like a lucky break when the forecast works out as hoped! Thanks so much for joining me - a real pleasure to hear you enjoyed it. I hope all is well with you! 😉

    Hi Miriam, just thought I'd link in. Meant to have results from prostate biopsy 29th October but now have to wait till 19th December. Don't know what to think. Hope your doing well.❤❤

      Hi Alan - the waiting must be really tough. That’s a very long time to have to wait…you poor thing! Fingers and toes crossed that you’ll hear good news in December 🤞 I’m doing pretty well thanks Alan - I’m back at work but I’ve been well enough to be out in my tent for the last three weekends on the trot…always a good sign!! 😉 Take good care and thanks for letting me know what’s been happening!
