A walk around the beautiful coastline☀️ of Melmore Head in North Donegal (9.5 miles with 1,300 feet of climbing) with an overnight wild camp. The first day went according to plan👍 Day 2 didn't work so well with high winds forcing a quick break from camp and retreat from my intended route. This meant crossing private land and I was challenging by the farmer - this is an area that has seen massive visitor numbers in the past couple of years which has caused disruption - so I can totally understand the concerns of the farmer. A great couple of days none the less with some beautiful winter sunshine and very mild temperatures and it was good to be out doing some coastal walking👍😊

What a difference a day makes . Beautiful place Gerry , those secluded beaches with the sun shining looked perfect .
Was looking at those Adventure Food meals , I'll maybe give the chicken curry a go but saying that I wasn't sure what the verdict was going to be there was a bit of a long pause after the second spoon full 🧐
Gerry wishing you a adventurous and peaceful 2022 🙏

Good to see you treating yourself for your wild camping Christmas dinner Gerry - you’re definitely worth it!! 😎 You did well on the Crimbo pressies too, nicely set up for 2022! I treated myself to some down booties from China for £20 which are a lovely treat for the cold weather - it’s been so mild though to date in fairness. Melmore Head looks a lovely coastline to walk and camp and great to see those wild crashing powerful waves! Super you got a decent weather window for your first day - some lovely shots throughout 👍 Wishing you the best for the coming year Gerry and your future adventures!!

Wonderful part of the world Gerry. We loved our explorations on the Inishowen peninsula. We would love to return. There are chough birds around on that coastline. ( black crow family birds with a red beak and red feet ) We had a super day here too. Wow it's well those high winds didn't arrive a bit earlier when you were asleep! Yes I expect walkers/day trippers can be a real pain for local farmers who are concerned about what they might leave behind for their livestock to get hurt on. Not nice weather at the end Gerry!

Gerry, what an absolute pleasure your videos are! Especially when you feature Donegal, my "special place" What a difference a day can make, fierce conditions on the morning of the second day. Your mention of the local farmer was well done and rightly respectful.
Thank you for starting off 2022 so nicely. Your channel and it's contents are a special treat. Long may you wander. Wishing you health and happiness

No shortage of socks now Gerry. That Santa is some boy🎅🏻. A big change in the weather overnight 💨. I loved the footage of the wind ripping across the lough. Also impressed with your culinary change. Chicken curry from a bag, very nice. I must give Melmore Head a wee visit soon. Thanks for sharing Gerry.

Great video Gerry, loved all the costal shots especially as the light started to go, cracking images. That beach that you could'nt get aross, I though you might have went for a wee paddle! It end up a pretty rought day 2 with the high winds. Not so pleasant to be caught out in those conditions, however its comforting to see these condition sitting a home. Trust you had a great Christmas and will have a peaceful New Year.

That wind was something else. You did right by sticking to the lower ground and fair play to the farmer for helping you out. I can understand why he may have not been so happy to see you on his land but you had a genuine reason. I may get myself the book you used, they are some really nice routes you are exploring. The meal looked good but I couldn't justify the money 😄 All the best Gerry and again happy new year 👍

The coast beaches of Ireland are breath-taking! As much as I love the mountains, I love the coast! So many views, and the sounds of the crashing waves. Amazing rocks and beautiful sandy beaches. Impressive change of weather and wind the next morning!! Glad you got back ok! :) Like!!

Superb weather window, you could be forgiven for thinking it was Spring or early Summer !! Always love the sound of the sea, so relaxing , Such a beautiful place to coast along, . Donegal and Kerry are certainly hard to choose from ,I dont think I could pick one over the other. Belated New years wishes, and looking forward to your adventures in 22. ATVB Colin

My favourite part of Donegal. From Lough Salt down to the tip you have all you can ask for in terms of habitat, history and scenery.

Standard Issue that the one time you need to drop down off the hills it's into THAT FIELD! 😂 any other of the 9 million fields in Donegal and you would have been fine, though, yep, absolutely sympathise with that particular issue, I wouldn't want the instaGram masses tramping over my livestock either. Especially when the beach is so dangerous, the rip currrent outta it must be massive.

!No Noodles! Mac n Cheese, just how I like it is one of my highlights when away. I keep thinking those camping meals might be better, then catch myself on 😂

Congratulations on the sock hoard, my Bridgedale collection is a source of pride (and toasty toes) I wish they made long-johns and thermal tops too.

Thanks again for another epic vid 🤙 (favourite shot: the windy lough from water level, was awesome)
