A walk up the Gweebarra river

[@roadwarrior8560]

That was a brave walk Paddy, you'd nearly be as well wearing wellingtons, looking at the map it looks like the river just starts seeping out from the bog a long way south from Lough Barra, I love finding those old houses too, sad when you think of the great people that lived there years ago, probably all died out and the rest emigrated.

Great video Paddy... As a Gweedore man myself the unbelievable beauty of the place, but I'm living here in England this last 35 years, and it's always great to see a bit of home on the tube sir... Fair play to you for making these great videos Paddy.... Subscribed and Liked Sir!!👍👍

[@highlandpaddy2756]

Thanks a million. I did a few years in London myself building scaffold, nothing like what you did, only from 2012 to 2018, but by God do you appreciate things from home when you're far away from it. All the best, thanks for watching!

[@KennedysKitchen]

Thank you so much for taking us on this hike.

[@highlandpaddy2756]

[@highlandpaddy2756]

[@highlandpaddy2756]

brilliant man, never had the pleasure of throwing a fly there, maybe one day!

[@barrydrew2340]

Big thank you for all your videos, great tonic for the soul in these times. Looking forward to freedom and a return to that magical county of yours.

[@highlandpaddy2756]

No worries! Thanks for watching. Can't wait for the summer to do some overnight camps in the mountains.

[@highlandpaddy2756]

cheers for all the comments and views everyone! glad you enjoyed it!

[@michaelmullan4957]

Fuckin class. Really enjoying the craic with you! Keep the videos coming. Takes me back over forty years. I remember jumping a shuck along that river, and landed both feet in the middle of a rotten sheep. I can still smell the stench! But the pints in the local in Doochary, made up for it.

[@highlandpaddy2756]

Brilliant! Thanks a million!

[@irishfreedomparty9395]

[@cliffordadams8353]

What a beautiful place. Thanks for posting this. made my day. Great place for a swim

[@anniedavis4569]

Lovely to see your videos and great history of Donegal. The views are always spectacular and Tis great to hear the babbling sounds of the river and crashing of the waterfalls. I agree the beans are great with bread and butter. You’re doing fabulous work out exploring all the lovely old cottages and rivers in Donegal no place like home to me. Dunno how you don’t get lost

[@kirbyeltel]

Nice Work Paddy, I'm over hopefully Late May & hope to walk some of your Adventures.

[@davincrawford912]

Lovely video sir, stumbled across your account a few weeks ago with the old railway video set, would love to see some more like that. Keep up the great production quality, really enjoy your content 🤙🤙👋

[@roryokelly3100]

Love your videos. What happened to the poor old CORK SCREW. Not the same as when I was a kid.

[@highlandpaddy2756]

The pub? Don't know, think they done it up. The Gweebarra bar in Leiter got the same treatment too. Sure they leave nothing alone

[@domedweller4202]

Thankyou, I really enjoyed your video. 👍🐑🐇🌲

[@highlandpaddy2756]

cheers!

[@kieranotoole9168]

Class looking river. Imagine what it must be like with a big banker of a flood roaring down through those gorges. Never fished it........YET!!

[@highlandpaddy2756]

Looks like a class river for the fly but I was telling my pal there i met an oul buck on the way upstream and he reckons it's gone very bad for salmon this last while, nobody seems to know why.

[@kathykelly5718]

Another great video Paddy, really enjoy them and that was a decent cup of tae 😁

[@martin7955]

The falls are beautiful the cannon looks unreal

[@banjodeano2202]

excellent video, thanks for the share

[@highlandpaddy2756]

cheers!

[@agshean]

Great video - I've been planning to do a walk from the car park at Lough Barra out to Crockastoller and back via Moylenanav, will make a detour to check out the huge rock you mentioned. Cheers.

[@martin7955]

Sad to see the old house like thst hod bless old ireland

[@ardnamone]

More videos please paddy 👍

[@highlandpaddy2756]

definitely, weather's starting to pick up again.

[@cliffordadams8353]

Love the brown mystical peat water

[@highlandpaddy2756]

cheers!

[@glencampbell8012]

Fair play to you again paddy belter once again. I've fished that river many a time there's no better run of salmon in Europe when it's the right time of the season 👍

[@highlandpaddy2756]

i was chatting to a farmer on that walk and he reckons the salmon's nearly all gone from that river, says it's in very bad shape. I must try them waterfalls again in September and see are there any jumping. There's parts oh that river as wide as the Finn! I couldn't believe it!

[@peterjohnston4472]

Fished itabout 20 years ago was amazing best fishing experience of my life had 2 cracking sea trout of waterfall and watch salmon jumping bouncing of the rocket inches from me but would take a flying c or worm unfortunately but as I said the experience was incredible

[@manfredvonrichthofen4792]

Paddy I hope to visit your country next on my bicycle holiday

[@martin7955]

The river looks untouched lovely to see

[@brooscaredya]

Class channel there! You just need to get something to stabilise the camera a bit and you'll be flying.

[@mylesreilly5912]

No problem il spread the word with a few friends, keep it up, very enjoyable and a bit of crack.

[@manfredvonrichthofen4792]

I Am very much liking Gweebarra river walk Paddy

[@marygallagher2043]

Lovely walk : u made my eve.

[@BrendrumJones]

nice one man, the glasses suit you.

[@tomjones7593]

Grand video-great footage- is the valley with the road down known as the Poisoned Valley ? Thanks and I cant wait to get back over next fishing season!

[@highlandpaddy2756]

No, that's in a place called Dunlewy near mount errigal, the poisoned glen

[@mylesreilly5912]

Salmon anglers like myself get a good look at the river too cool haha.

[@highlandpaddy2756]

ha! I do a bit of fishing myself, always on the look out for new spots! Cheers!

[@derekgeorge7778]

Me and a few mates stayed in their good few time when we were down fishing we put the sofa in their and the pictures probably about 10 years ago

[@AKSh182]

Hello paddy. You can tell that farmer he was full of shite. One of the best rivers in Ireland if you no were the fish rest. He was probably a poacher on the river trying to put up off. That use to be free fishing then a big dispute fell in to place. High court proceedings against men and women.
