    Excellent Abbie. I like the fact that you took the time out to ensure the Collie dog was ok. 👍

    You know Abbie, I watch alot of these hiking videos but I really think yours are the best.
    They not only are a guide of where to go walking, but also an insight into the spirit of the landscape, its history, wildlife and people.
    You passion, enthusiasm and occasional vulnerability make this such a great watch.
    Inspired to go walking in Ireland now.
    Great work.

    If this was your first visit to Ireland you have had only a glimpse...so much more hiking to be done along the Wild Atlantic Way from Cork through Kerry, Clare, Galway, Mayo, Sligo, and Donegal..........all beauty of Counties with their oiwn special areas of interest.......love your videos, keep them coming.

    I enjoy your choice of hikes... and your narratives. I'm a 62 year old pastor and business owner... and a survivor of cancer and depression. I'm section hiking the Florida Trail and the Appalachian Trail. You have inspired me to add some European hikes to my bucket list.

    Hey Abbie!, well this was arguably one of your best, thoroughly enjoyed every moment visually and was completely engaged by your ever more professional commentary, outstanding! One thing I do know is that if I were a stray animal I would want to be found by a human like Abbie Barnes, the compassion and instant commitment to the dog's well being was very moving and heart warming. And then to top it all you treat us to a delightful piece on the penny whistle!.......are there no limits to your talents and capabilities ?! You thoroughly deserve all the praise you receive.

    As someone who grew up in Cork City and who is the administrator for the FB group Beautiful Cork Images (photography group portraying the beauty of County Cork), I want to thank you first and foremost. What a magnificent vlog portraying a peninsula (mostly in Cork) in such a beautiful way. Also, well done to you always appearing in good spirits whatever the conditions and weather and your vlog, though long was extremely absorbing throughout. You maintain interest with your enthusiasm and whatever is going on in your head is not reflected in the buoyant, vibrant delivery and eagerness for new places and challenges. Well done. I am a fan. Keep the faith and self belief as you have no reason to doubt.

    "Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts, nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand with take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away."

    What an amazing video of an amazing hike! My best friend and I walked the Beara Way last June and enjoyed 8 days of the gentle tour. Breathtaking sceneries, absolutely wonderful people and loads of stories to tell when we got back home. Abbie, you captured everything beautifully on this video, even the bogs. We remember, oh how we remember! ;-) And kudo's to you for looking after that dog. Bless you!

  • @pmartin7397
    @pmartin7397 2 роки тому +2

    Love Glengarriff and the Beara Peninsula, but few are as intrepid and as fearless of you Abbie. Those bogs are a real challenge, and if paths are marked out to encourage walkers they should be made accessible. Otherwise, it's no fun to get stuck in a bog. I think the Dingle Peninsula is dry by comparison. The mountains are higher with more drainage. But, there are bogs too. Love your tin whistle playing.

  • @nolasmith7687

    Brilliant! So many memories. Collie dog, Bogs. Fantastic vistas. Wonderful mountains. Beautiful bays and lochs. What a walk. One I've never heard of but am so glad you took me along. A million thanks for the great film and the tin whistle - what more can be said!

  • @raybo64
    @raybo64 2 місяці тому

    Well done. I couldn't do what you've done. That was a comprehensive hike, stunning and varied scenery, over a long distance. And the tin whistle playing wasn't at all bad. And the colours of the houses in the villages were absolutely beautiful. Great considered commentary. You smashed it.

  • @TheRebeccaMcD

    This was wonderful Abbie! Your tin whistle skills are excellent! OMG though the poor collie dog that was tied to the fence was hard to watch. That poor bloody dog! Thank you for being such a fabulous human and for the excellent content and magical hiking.

The pretty and colourful houses, the views the music (tin whistle) this film has it all, I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel recently, wish I'd done so much earlier......

    Wow this video was super inspirational! Originally had zero intention of watching a 1hr 48min video but there I was glued to the screen throughout. I'm from Cork but lived in London the last 12 years so I miss this kind of landscape(and bog!) very much! Had intended to do the ring of Beara last summer but got a bee sting in the eye so spent the last few days of my trip in a hotel with ice on my eye... Thank you Abbie for looking after the doggie and showing us such an amazing part of the world. I have liked and subscribed !

    Wow! I'm from the other corner, the SE 💚 I'm so happy you had a great time. What a fab trip 🌼 you were spot on to check on the collie, hope he was curled up in a cosy kitchen somewhere nearby. I travelled the Beara peninsula with my son and we giggled so much getting on the cable car at Dinish ... we hid behind a rock on the other side, scoffed our snacks and headed back ... but he was only small. Such a beautiful place 🌼💚🌼 hope you get to come back sometime. Oops edit to say you're deadly at the tin whistle🌼🎶🌼

    This is great. I’ve spent lots of time around Glengariff and have stayed at the Coomarkane visitor centre a few times, once for 10 days as I explored the surrounding hills in depth. One of my favourite places and truly wild and wooly in stormy weather. The forest you walked through at the beginning is some of the only ancient forest left in Ireland dating back to the last ice age. Great that you walked this route.

    This is a wonderful video. I watched it in it's entirety last night and could feel the calm and serenity. Your narration and positivity is wonderful. I am from Cork but live across the big pond. Have done so for many years now. People absolutely need to get out there more and enjoy these beautiful places. And I hope parents encourage their kids to be more active, leave the phone for a few hours.

The tid bits of education you provide are great and I love learning some of the history. You are encouraging me to get out and about in my own area and plan for some future trips farther out. Your tin whistle playing was FABULOUS!! Love and good wishes!

    I 💚 Ireland, I've been twice, and now I want to go back to walk some of the trails. I've missed seeing the Ring of Beara in real life, but watching your film made me feel like I haven't!

    Just came across this video and absolutely loved it. My family are from beara (castletownbere, allihies and dursey island specifically) and we all sat down to watch your video. Even one of my family members made it into the video 😝 (not the collies owner thankfully). You really managed to capture the beauty of the beara peninsula which imo is the best place on earth (i know im kinda biased but its still true lol). It was exciting seeing our tiny corner of the world shown to thousands across youtube! Your knowledge of the history of the region was really good 😁 i cant wait to watch more of your videos!

    @carelbrendel8447 5 років тому +1

    This brings back good memories to our 1998 Beara Way trip. Dursey Island is still mystical and splendid. I was forgotten how muddy some parts of the trail were. We stayed all in all three nights in Allihies where we fully enjoyed Irish music.

Would love to do it but I need to cook for myself now due to health troubles so b&bs are no options unfortunately. I loved that experience... And I am no camper 🙈
    The poor dog being left on its own...but very authentic having real life situations that suddenly cross your path.
    I need to check out more videos of yours. Well done!!! ❤

    Abbie as usual an amazing walk done by a brilliant commentator. Very enjoyable to watch. What a lot of people don’t realise is that Ireland and Northern Ireland have some most beautiful places to visit. The Ulster way and the Mourne mountains these are my favourites. Maybe something for you to think about in the future. Stay wild you are a treasure.
