  • A 22km walk around a classic horseshoe in the mountains of Mayo, starting at Tawnyard Lough and taking in Ben Gorm and the 2 tops of Ben Creggan. An overnight bivy on the summit of Ben Creggan brought fabulous views over Doo Lough and a sunset over the Atlantic.

    Absolutely stunning Gerry - pitched up at the edge of the earth with spectacular sunset and sunrise views...it can't get much better than that! 😊 Every single shot was awe inspiring and the accompanying music worked a treat. That Jaffa Cake Mountain was well worth the climb I'd say! Really looking forward to the longer version 👏

      Cheers Miriam👍 I think the Jaffa cake mountain could have been wee bit higher if truth be told😊 The views from the hills around Doo Lough are nothing short of spectacular if the weather is kind. And I came back with only a few bites🦟😊

    Astounding footage and scenery. Many thanks for posting. I hiked Barr Chlais Céim last Saturday and the views overlooking Doolough Valley were nothing short of breathtaking. We're truly blessed, we have it all.

    Good afternoon Gerry 😊 some incredible captures here, beautiful footage paired with some soothing music, just what we needed on this rather warm afternoon in Wiltshire! Absolutely love the magic and mystery of the clouds moving over the mountains.
    Stunning film, hope you are well 😊 looks like you have had an incredible adventure there, have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕️ ❤️ 👍 ⛰️ 🗺🧭 have we missed the full version or will that be a future video?

      Cheers Ceri & Kat👍 it was a cool trip and I should have a slightly longer talky version to come😊 I hope you are getting the ☀️ with your warm afternoon as we have been stuck under dull skies with some drizzle today, though that is why we are so green😊 Enjoy the rest of your week👍

    Top class Gerry! You really should be winning some sort of awards for these productions. ......and I'm being serious! There is nothing amateur about your work. It is as close to perfection as any 'amateur ' is going to get. You are giving the tourist boards both north and south such a boost with what you are doing! That was an amazing few seconds that showed the clouds 'falling down' the steep hillside towards the lake, way down below! I had to play it again!!!! I even called Tanya in to see it ! There must be some UK or Irish film competition you can submit these pieces to? They are leaps and bounds beyond what you normally expect even of the better UA-cam channels. Magical camera work! Wow! My question is 'Will you still remember me when you've hit the big time?'

    • @gerrymcveigh
      @gerrymcveigh  2 роки тому

    Such a stunning part of Ireland Gerry. Hiked Mweelrea just to the west of here a few weeks back. Cant remember the number of times I heard "WOW" from members of our group. Think a follow up visit is required.

    • @gerrymcveigh
      @gerrymcveigh  2 роки тому +1

      Alan, I can empathise with the 'wow' factor and would find I say it out loud to myself on occasion😊 I was looking up into Coum Dubh as I passed through Doo Lough and probably said 'wow'😊 Ben Gorm/Ben Creggan, Mweelrea and the Sheeffrys are some set around Doo Lough👍
