    I was genuinely happy to see this notification and when I saw the title immediately had tears close to my eyes, ( as my grandfather would say).
    I understand the need to not film, but I’m glad you did!
    I think you’ve touched more lives than you realize, and I’m certain that as you scroll through the comments you’ll see that you really have been missed!
    My mom had breast cancer at the tender age of 32, she’s now 82 and continues to ride her bike and golf! Science is a wonderful thing and I can imagine the stress your situation has caused in your life!
    Needless to say I am delighted to hear you’re on the mend and that you are getting back on the saddle.
    UA-cam is a wonderful thing ( most of the time), and it always strikes me that I feel connections that seem disproportionate towards some content creators.
    I felt it in my heart when I saw your title, and after watching the video I felt relief, that always amazes me, connections to strangers a half a world away!
    Soooo, thank you for taking the camera along, for the content and the warm calm that your films bring to my turbulent life, sincerely thank you!
    Take good care!
    Rick
    PS, I just finished dehydrating vegetarian chili for my first week long trip starting next week, scalloped potatoes and chow mien too :)

      Thanks very much Rick!! 😊 I know exactly what you mean regarding the virtual connections that are formed...so alien to our rational way of being in the world! I'm very grateful for your support all the way over in Canada - amazing how it seems to work! Wishing you the very best for your upcoming trip - I'll be watching out for those dinners to see how they look 😉

    Great video Miriam, I had three stents inserted into an artery that had an 80% blockage 6 years ago and I am still climbing high altitude mountains and rock climbing. I work for the company that made the stents, Medtronic. It shows that there is still a life to live after treatments such as yours and mine. If we had the technology we have today my dad might have lived to see his grand children.

      Thanks Dom! Great to hear how well you’re doing after your life enhancing procedure!! Janey….modern medicine really is incredible! I did a stint in Boston Scientific over 20 years ago another stent manufacturer…very special for you to be working for Medtronic I’m sure! I now work in RCSI and work on projects in the health system and I’ve loads of gratitude for the care I’ve been given and the training that our healthcare professionals undertake. Wonderful that you’re able to do all that you still do and a real shame your Dad isn’t around as you said…we’re definitely lucky!! Happy planning for your next trips 😊

    I’m so happy to see you out again. This video couldn’t have come at a better time. Right now I’m 2 weeks out from a colostomy operation and admittedly feeling a bit low because of the change in my body. Changes that so many of us go through. But like you I’m cancer free and that’s certainly a big plus. I’ve probably have about 6 to 8 weeks before I can get on one of my bikes again but I keep my Brompton in my living room to inspire me. I just can’t thank you enough for posting this video it has certainly lifted my spirits and has now motivated me to get out for a walk which I’m certainly allowed to do. I can only hope to be as strong as you. God bless you Miriam!!!

    Fáilte ar ais Miriam. Glad you decided to ease yourself gently back :) with a trip up the Gap of Dunloe!-. I got into Dublin on Monday morning and you must have picked the one perfect 24h weather window for this trip-when you passed a woman with a wide brimmed sunhat on, i knew we'd see some lovely views. The drone shots were stunning-your mission to show people the beauty of the little island totally fulfilled. And for everyone who know what you've been through, I think we saw a little of what that trip meant to you. Thanks for these lovely images. Legend!

    • @MiriamKennedy
      @MiriamKennedy  6 місяців тому +1

      Ha Brendan! Yes - no point in pushing myself needlessly 🫢 A gentle cycle and little hike to test the water! 😂 Yep, Monday it was! The Sunday was fab too countrywide but I’d made plans to visit a pal in Wexford on the Sunday (I didn’t cycle I promise 😉) I booked the train on Saturday night when I saw the potential of the nice weather being here in the early part of the week knowing I mightn’t get another lucky break like that for a while! Hope you have a nice stay while you’re over and that some nice weather returns!! It did me the world of good to get out and do this - a nice way to celebrate feeling so well 😎 Cheers Brendan, lovely to hear from you!

    Miriam, a beautiful place and beautiful weather to return for this long awaited trip☀😊 A tough looking pull up to the head of the Gap and your bike hiding skills aren't too bad👍It is hard to beat a good camp spot beside a mountain lough, especially when it has spectacular views thrown in. Reward definitely comes with challenge, well done on getting to the summit👣and those further views with the cloud rolling in. Good to capture memories and to have space for yourself in such a beautiful place👍 I have heard that those 'pedal steps' cover some serious ground😊

      Cheers Gerry! My bike hiding skills are especially lacking when tired…thankfully it worked out 😉 So satisfying to get back out again in nature and the wild..it filled me right up!
