Thanks for another interesting video Nigel with some great tips.

It was great to see some familier places. Well done Nigel! And I also had a break at Kenmare River, almost fell asleep, it was so peaceful.

You make the most beautiful videos - thank you!

I think you forgot to include the weight of your vango matt

This was a beautiful walk, it's good to see you on the trails again. I'm watching it in November and already feeling nostalgic for the light - but not the midges! Ireland has more mountains somehow than I imagined.

I tied neon pink ribbons to the end of my peg strings

Great video showing the route in winter. Can you tell me details of the (waterproof?) cap you wear? Thanks. Dennis

I had never heard of this way before but I shall add it to the list of one to do!

Loving the views

good stuff

thank you

I liked your ideas and have subscribed immediately ! It has been too long since I actually slept in a tent , but I can some stories . One thing to mention that costs little and made a difference for me was to use some kind of flexible material , thick rubber bands or bungee cord maybe , on guy lines .

As always very very useful video full of great hacks! Thank you so much for sharing!

I use the same type of tent pegs as you and they can hurt your hand. I went to B & Q and bought a white plastic plumber's 'T' junction that they use for joining pipes together. I keep losing plastic caps.

good tips :)

I'm a new patron in your library of hacks 😊 - thank you for sharing your experience.

👍

Thank you Nigel for these tips , it’s always interesting to see how other people overcome the challenges, it all goes a long way to make any trip more memorable 👍

Some good tips. I tie a long bright cord to all my tent stakes, and if its very windy I use the loop on the cord to loop around the tent cord so it has no chance of coming off. You can double up tent stakes that way too. I see your point of having the door open, but you risk putting the tent up incorrectly if you dont close it before you stake it out.

Some great tips. Thank you.

Nigel, Having only ever been in a tent for the odd family holiday when I was young, and once as a "stay at home garden camping holiday" a few years back during COVID, I would never have thought of most of these. They are great hacks that I certainly will put into practise when I begin doing some wild, and not so wild, camping in upcoming walking holidays. Also, I was not aware of the zip lubricant and cleaner product, which I will now purchase to attempt to loosen the jammed hip pocket zips of my favourite day pack (which is probably only around 5 years old). Cheers, Ryk.

Thanks. I discovered the bottle top for the pegs not long ago - that’s a great one. Another is carrying a small sponge for taking off dew or rain drops from the fly in the morning when packing up - works a treat.

Nice tips - many thanks and best wishes

Very helpful thanks. What make is your hooded jacket?

Hi and thanks for the tips , im always away in my motorhome ,but my son has just got a tent so i will pass on the tips 👌

The water bottle hack as a great idea

A lovely video.Thank you.

Great video.Well done

Beautiful video, as always ☺️ If I may be nosey - I noticed during the rainy section of this video that you are not wearing your Green Rab shell as you often have! What waterproof jacket have you gone with this time?

Enjoyed all your Kerry Way videos. I did the Beara Way in 2022 after Covid. Its worth doing just for the ride on the cable car to Dursey Island and you'll probably have the island to yourself. Bere Island is interesting too. I booked it with Hillwalk Tours and stayed in B&B.s - would love to wild camp it. I'm just starting out wild camping - looking forward to doing the Wicklow and Kerry Ways after starting with the Slieve Bloom Way. Would be interested to see what gear you used for the Kerry Way and how much it weighed. Good to see you out and about again.

Another fantastic video! Enjoyed it throughly this evening ! The views are amazing! Hope you’re ok! X

Nigel, I find stiles rather quaint and charming and I actually quite like them - they are almost as rare as hen's teeth here in NZ - although the ladder style of stile is probably the least old-fashioned (and my least favourite) and I imagine 200+ of them over 5.5 days could become annoying. It's been quite a few months since you did this walk and, although you've mentioned one walk that you might do in the coming months in a reply to one of my recent comments, I'm guessing you aren't yet back on the (overnight camping) trail. Although you said in the video that you enjoyed the Kerry Way very much, you did mention the tedious (road) walking a couple of times. I find the true test of a a great trail is whether or not one would consider walking it again (even if you wouldn't have the time), so therein is the question - time permitting would you do this one again? You asked about the Beara Way. Another KZbinr I follow did it a few years back. Here's the link to their video if you find it useful - kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6O2dqChfpKBf7s Anyway, as always, another great watch. Cheers, Ryk.

Looks stunning and very tranquil Nigel. Must have been good for your mental wellbeing 👍

Really loved the music selection on this video. It has really helped the atmosphere

Nice review. Looks like nice tent.

Hi great walk! Shame about not getting a cup of tea at the cafe! The tea is a absolute necessity lol x hope your ok and keeping your chin up x keep in touch and look forward to the next adventure x

Thanks for helping me escape the rat race for awhile. Gorgeous hike. Nice pic with the butterfly antenna.😊❤

Nigel, Some lovely sections of trail. I could almost smell the air at times watching this, especially around the 7:45 to 8 minute mark. Not sure how comfortable I would have felt with a camper van pulling up right next to where I'd pitched for the night. Your comment about being low on water brought back memories of a day while on the Pennine Way when my 3L water bladder unexpectedly ran out on a sweltering day. Needless to say I became very drained of energy and had to rely on the kindness of strangers in a) being given what remained in a local woman's bottle as she was almost done a short walk, and b) later getting ice cubes from the occupants of a house while I sat in their company embarrassed as my boots stunk of cow dung. Looking forward to the final leg. Ryk.

Thank you for sharing the journye with us yet again! What a great video

Hi great walk ,nice views ,the weather looked good 🚶‍♂

Great video. Its a lovely part of Ireland. Hope you enjoyed the walk.

We’re is miss stokes

I’m loving the journey that you are on. Thanks for taking us

I was thinking of getting the plus which instead of mesh its covered. Thanks for the video and info!

Cracking video, my absolute favourite area in the Lake District. Will never tire of those views. 😊

Nigel, I needed a walking video fix today and came back to watch this one again, as you know a trail on my long list of to-do's. I noticed you've updated your post, and thumbnail picture, for this video to honour Victoria - who certainly stepped up to be more of a presence throughout (and even taking on camera operator and narrator roles) - a touching tribute. It was great that you were able to have this kind of experience and time with her. I can't imagine what you've gone, and are going, through. I'm glad she made you promise to continue walking, as you should, although I expect that walking trails will have another layer of memories, thought and experience now and, especially so, this particular trail. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video of this walk again (especially the footage of the abbey with its ominous wind soundtrack, and I do love a good ruined castle) and, if time permits, I will add it to the next walking holiday itinerary. Thanks again for posting it. Cheers, Ryk.

Great video! I like the Topo Ultraventures, too. I'll be walking my own pair around the Wicklow Way in two weeks or so.

@6:20 The word 'Holt' on the side of the Black Dog public house suggests a railway or tram, ran through here. In parts of Lancashire a Holt is akin to a station or -crossing. Here's the intriguing part - look around - 1. The road and terrain all have quite sharp angles of incline, both up and down, in all directions - foreground / background etc. 2. Railway trains don't work in this terrain without first cutting a 'route' through. Question - So which came first? Logic says the holt (station and tracks) were functioning normally before the 'terrain' arrived out of the blue and changed everything. It's like a real life crime thriller - whodunnit? Who done eden in?

Hadn’t heard of this walk. Looks absolutely stunning. Just done the Skye Trail and looking for my next adventure, plus never been to Ireland. Your videos is doing a good job at convincing me. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Great video!! So relaxing and love the waterfall’s! Another place on our list to visit. Hope your ok sending kind thoughts xx
