Banagher Glen | Wind & Ice | Sperrin Mountains

[@seanferguson6728]

Thanks for the new video. I really enjoy them. You’ve got a great eye for both the sweeping vistas and the small details that make us feel like we’ve joined you on your walk. As others have said, please keep them coming!

[@gerrymcveigh]

Cheers Sean, I am hoping for more travel and some more wild camping once restrictions start to be eased, hopefully soon 😊

[@TeaInValhalla]

What a refreshing walk Gerry, thank you so much for sharing this. The river and the ice was stunning something out if s fairytale, we loved it! Stunnng. That wind too, incredible. All the best, Ceri and Kat 👍❤☕

[@gerrymcveigh]

Cheers guys, it was definitely a cool and refreshing day to be out 😊

[@MiriamKennedy]

Big wind Gerry to dust off any cobwebs I’d imagine! Beautiful ice formations on the waterfalls and rivers also. Thanks for sharing your lovely walk!

[@gerrymcveigh]

Cheers Miriam, it was a day when the cobwebs would have been severely tested🕸😊

[@shirleyjackson3893]

Amazing. Thank you for sharing such beauty. It seems like so long since your last video. Please keep them coming. Calm and beauty in a chaotic world. Keep well.

[@gerrymcveigh]

Cheers Shirley, it has been a couple of months as I haven't really been travelling any distance or into the mountains for my walking. It was great to spend the day here and hopefully as restrictions ease I will be out more. It was a beautifully calm day even though the wind was raging 😊

[@dillonlynch5767]

Great video Gerry, the wind was amazing!

[@gerrymcveigh]

Cheers Dillon, a good windy day in the forest (not on the mountain) is hard to beat😊

[@TomMcClean]

That looks very nippy Gerry. I love the shots of the ice formations over the rocks and dangling from the branches and what about the waterfall! Wow! A lot of angry looking water in that reservoir! I think that was a wise decision to stick to the shelter of the forest Gerry!

[@gerrymcveigh]

Tom, it would have blown my head off up on the mountain, it was cool in the forest with the wind blowing over the tree tops. I love ice and water and it was really cool at the reservoir with the easterly wind blowing perfectly along its length to force the water over the top of the dam. As we know it is cool to be out in all the weathers we have here ❄️☀️💨🌧😊

[@Ali-kg7sh]

Nice vid liked and stay connected plus more importantly stay safe and thx for the awesome support 🙏👍

[@cavehillrock...wildcamping]

Great to see you out Gerry, testing conditions but still lovely and interesting! Hopefully soon that pack will have a tent in it! atb Sinco

[@gerrymcveigh]

Cheers Sinco, it was great to be out and the conditions were great. I am thinking and planning as I am sure you are😊

[@andrea.villanueva]

Love the nature 💯💯💯awesome. Hi from 🇵🇭

[@gerrymcveigh]

Many thanks 😊

[@MountainMikesAdventures]

Some beautiful ice shots there Gerry and the water flying over the dam was crazy, I would have love to have flown my drone through it 😄. Nice video.

[@gerrymcveigh]

Cheers Mike, your drone would have to be made of tough stuff though the footage would have been amazing 😊

[@irenemax3574]

There was a quare storm in it that day, boy! Thanks for sharing.

[@gerrymcveigh]

It was a quare storm alright💨😊 Thanks for watching👍

[@RODPIKERDRONESUK]

Hi Gerry great to see out again it’s been cold this last few weeks great video and sounds cheers 👍

[@gerrymcveigh]

Cheers Rod, it was great to be out again😊 The weather always has something for us here to make it interesting.

[@heavydigging]

Class video Gerry great to see another video up, I bet you were ready for the spuds when you got home😊😊👍👍 Regards Heavydigging....

[@gerrymcveigh]

Cheers, a hot cuppa was first before the spuds 😊

[@paulmccrea8241]

Hey Gerry.... Great video and good to see you out and about again..

[@gerrymcveigh]

Cheers Paul, it was good to have the camera with me to do some filming after a couple of months 😊

[@WyeExplorer]

Superb that gerry. I was loving the signs of winter - so good to see as was that cascade from over the top. Well, a windy cascade. I can see why you started a while. For sure days like these are exhilarating. There is no doubt in my kind that you got back down totally energized. As you said a really good day. Good going. Take care over there. Mark

[@gerrymcveigh]

Cheers Mark, it was an exhilarating and energising day and it was much needed with the continuing lockdown and no real sense of when things will change. You take care over there too😊

[@WyeExplorer]

@@gerrymcveigh A pleasure gerry. A great antidote to the current uncertainty. It was a good one. I felt it from here.

[@CanoeingTheEdgeOfTheWorld]

Nice hike through the glen. A bit windy and cool for my taste. If the temperature drops below 50 Fahrenheit I'm uncomfortable.

[@gerrymcveigh]

It was a great hike and is definitely a wee bit cooler than Florida, and it looks like Florida is just about escaping all the cold in the US at the minute❄️❄️

[@CanoeingTheEdgeOfTheWorld]

@@gerrymcveigh Yes. We are the one place that isn't frozen solid apparently. Florida is about the same latitude as Morocco so it will never get too cold here.

[@richardjohnson3463]

Spectacular Gerry, thank you. I seem to recall it was also blowing a hooley the last time you visited this location? Great footage, thanks for sharing

[@gerrymcveigh]

Cheers Richard, the holly was appreciated more this time as it wasn't accompanied by rain😊 It is a fantastic walk whatever the weather ❄️🌧☀️

[@StephenOKane]

Very well shot video. Must get up there for a good long walk some day. What are you using for map and GPS tracking to make the image at the end of the video? Looks very good and I'd like to try it out

[@gerrymcveigh]

Cheers Stephen, it is a great spot, very accessible and very quiet. I use the view ranger app on my phone which is free, though the Ireland OS map tiles have to be bought. I find it great for recording gpx tracks, for planning routes and for helping with navigation whilst walking.
