Hiking Alone to the Heart Shaped Lake in Wicklow (Tonelagee)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- In this video, I climb Tonelagee mountain in search of Lough Ouler in Wicklow Mountains. Lough Ouler is famous for the shape of this lake but it’s a beautiful area regardless.
It’s been 7 months since I made a video. I wanted to take a few months off but three turned into seven due to you know what. Anyway, I hope you will welcome me back and thanks for all your support since I started this channel. I really enjoy hiking and making videos etc but the process is highly exhausting and this is certainly true about the walk around Ireland last year on which I made a video for every single day ;)

I'm such a huge fan of your videos. I love that you don't have an 'internet personality', trying to push sponsored products and gear. It makes your videos feel so authentic and especially relatable. Keep the videos uploading brother and happy travels!
I remember my dad took me on that walk when I had my heart broken, I didn’t believe him that there was a heart shaped lake💕💕, absolutely breathtaking views, great video, thank you for bringing that special and healing day back to me, great to see you back Derek 👍👍
What a great Dad
Hope you have peace now Leigh ,things change in Life and makes us stronger
I loved the sheep saying hello, heart felt sentiments and music 🥰 i have sheep here i will always say hello now
Stunning views at the end ...fantastic video Derek.. every time I watch your videos I'm homesick for Ireland..and my Donegal. Keep them coming Derek..
Thanks a million

I am proud of my Irish heritage and know the Wicklow area where you hiked on this viddy. I am also proud of my Canadian heritage and Quebec's Lac en coeur (Heart Shaped Lake) which once belonged to our family.
So happy you are back making videos!
My husband & I were supposed to make our 2nd trip to Ireland in September & take our kids with us, but sadly, we had to postpone. We are all devastated
Great to see you back on the tube!
Ed Fidgeon-Kavanagh hello Ed 👋 thanks very much I’m delighted to be back with the cameras again 😊
Great videos buddy. Really enjoy seeing the great outdoors ... and it inspires me to get out and live this type of life more.
Just keep walking, it’s all about the journey!
Derek, besides trying to make yourself feel good, be happy in the knowledge that your adventures/videos make others feel good, and motivated, well done lad.
Wow what a nice comment. Thank you so much, I'm glad that i made this video just so i could read this comment alone ! Appreciate it very much.

Derek Cullen Outdoors where did you park the car before walking up Tonelagee? Would love to do it myself!
@@paulcurtis698 Turlough Carpark at Wicklow Gap. You can also park at Glenmacnass waterfall carpark at the other side for a longer hike. Cheers Paul

Brillliant video, unreal scenic shots. Hope theres more to come soon.
Thanks so much for the encouragement. I really want to start making some of my best videos over the next 12 months. Yesterday was quite odd because it felt like using the camera for the first time again but im sure that will pass. Thanks again
One of the best videos you've made.
Wow thanks very much Colm
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much Nick and Rachel 😊
@@DerekCullenOutdoors you're welcome! We really enjoy making outdoor content also
Beautiful shots towards the end. Drone photography is amazing in showing you Perspective. Oops, signed in on my sons a/c. Brian.
haha thanks so much Brian!
Love it man ! All the hard work in aldi doesn't make you fit 😂😂 youd think it would , great to see you out doing what you love !
Ah Reuban. Thanks very much. It took some getting used to with the camera but that was an amazing day. We'll go up there again some evening...if you fancy it :)
Great video again. I live out your way too....where would you recommend starting a day hike up Tonelagee?
Absolutely stunning! I was meant to hike the Kerry Way this summer but covid has prevented me from doing so. I'm hoping to make it to Ireland (for the first time!) next summer.
Sorry to gear about that, Lindsey. It will still be there for you next year :)
I can dig it brother !! I would love to be hiking the Wicklow mountains !! I’m hoping next summer !! Get fit my man !!😂😂
Next summer sounds like a plan...hope you can make that one happen :)
Nice drone shots, and nice edit. Just moved to Dublin from the US and hoping to make it up Tonelagee soon.
Thank you very much, Cyrus. Welcome to Dublin! And I hope you enjoy Tonelagee - I have a lot of love for the US ;)
Howaya Derek.
Where do you park & start for this 1 please..
Just found your channel & will definitely be checking it out..
Fair play 👍👍
Super stuff again Derek. Looking forward to seeing more. Any trips to Donegal planned?
Thanks very much :) not at this moment but you never know. I have my sights on a few spots around ireland 🇮🇪
Hi Derek,
Always enjoying your channel. I have a question for you. What kind of weight are you carrying on your journey. Your backpack seems medium sized. It is like 10kg or heavier.
Regards
Ken
Nice video Derek 👍 Would like to camp around here sometime next year but with the way this year has went, I'll not plan anything just yet 😂
It's such a beautiful place to camp. Down by the lake or river is best but be prepared for midges and have a mozzy net at the very least ;) Cheers for the kind comment!
@@DerekCullenOutdoors Thanks for the heads up Derek 👍 Haha I got absolutely bit alive last week on a camp with them 😂 It's basically the reason I enjoy camping in the winter so much, just to get away from them! 😂
@@amcoutdoors im with you on that one. Midges can really spoil the entire night...esp if you want to be sitting outside !
Great video Derek, inspiring as always. May I ask what video editing software you use? Thanks.
Thanks a lot. I use the most basic one available - iMovie on the iPad. very limited but 100%free :)
Have a go at Shotcut lads, totally free & packed full of features.
Awesome! Who'smusic is it at the end?
Thanks Pascalle, it's Tristan Lohengrin - The End of the World - UA-cam
@@DerekCullenOutdoors thanx!😊
