Thank you Brother! Sullivan blood here! Such rich history...thank you for sharing!

[@danielosullivan3110]

Thanks. Some day my boy,Donal Cam,may seek this knowledge. Then he may begin to know why,he is the way he is. 🙏

[@dermotbreen1551]

Excellent Michael. Really brings the siege of Dunboy and the Dursey massacre to life and sets the scene for O’Sullivan Beare’s epic march. Many thanks

[@MountainMikesAdventures]

Thanks Dermot, exactly what I was trying to do. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@TheMyeloman]

You're giving me so many great places to check out when we make our next trip to Ireland, and in the process making my heart long to be there more than ever. All the effort you're putting into each and every aspect of these videos shows, well done!

[@MountainMikesAdventures]

Thank you so much for you very kind words, one aspect I've been very keen on is promoting this amazing country that you also got to experience last year. The more people I can showcase this wild land to the better. I'm very happy you enjoyed the video and can't wait to see you back, it's just a pity I had some much on last year.

[@karukun0212]

What a great video. I am a direct descendant of those that fought in that battle, with generations of my ancestors buried at Dunboy. This video is a great honor and tribute to them and all Irishmen and women who have stood up. Will be following all of your productions with interest.

[@MountainMikesAdventures]

Thank you so much for those amazing words. I've only made this history one so far but I've already filmed everything just need to get more time and edit them. Thanks for subscribing when I decided to do this walk I couldn't believe that every child in the country didn't know what happened and the events that occurred.

[@MountainMikesAdventures]

I hope you enjoy the rest of the history videos once I get them finished. The story of your ancestors deserves to be much more well know 👍.

[@karukun0212]

@@MountainMikesAdventures Appreciate you taking the time to respond! Go for it man--beautiful videos full of heart and passion. What an amazing country--I don't know if I have seen a better showcasing of Ireland.

[@karukun0212]

@@MountainMikesAdventures Other point--it is vital that the history be told and understood; you are right that it is a shame that every child does not know this story, so worth telling, and thanks so much for taking careful time to do such a great job. Very excited to see all of your work.

My video of the Multeen Way has some interesting history in it you should check out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoXMhGpsh92ZjpI

We sailed there this summer & visited the castle ruins. My husband is an O'Sullivan.

[@MountainMikesAdventures]

Wow, what a way to explore the Beara peninsula.

[@WavedancerWesterlyfulmar]

@@MountainMikesAdventures yeah. Bere island where I first learned to sail with Glenanns as a teenager 29 years ago. This was 1st time in Wavedancer & 1st time since '92. Anchored in lonehort harbour, mooring in st. Lawrence cove Bere island, anchored in Dunboy bay and rowed over to explore. Then up to Glengarrif for our 25th wedding anniversary. Saw tonnes of dolphins it was fantastic.

Yes, divide and conquer was deployed in Ireland and a lot of other places.

[@bettyblue7291]

The drone footage was fantastic, thanks for the history bite love this style of video well done.

[@MountainMikesAdventures]

Thank you very much, I was very happy with the drone shots tried not to overuse them also. If I had put this into the hiking video it would have slowed everything down but glad you enjoyed.

I LOVE BEARA!!!! WAIT FOR ME!!! 🙏💙❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💪

Hey man I’m an O’Sullivan from New Zealand, I still have lots of family in Castletownbere. I found out about this when I was a young boy still think about it to this day..thanks to our Spanish allies that tried to help. God bless

[@MountainMikesAdventures]

Great to hear, it's been amazing hearing from descendants from all over the world. Sadly this history isn't widely known for some reason here in Ireland. I was hoping with these video I would change that a small bit.

[@jenniferphillips6916]

I'm not sure what you mean?

@@MountainMikesAdventures This the Craig, lad. The March started in Barra and was met with ridiculous opposition from everyone. Nowadays people pretend that they were part of the situation, but it was only the toughest men who continued. There is a lie about a grain storage unit. By the time the warriors reached the storage their stomachs were the size of peas, I know this for medical fact due to fasting. However, When the warriors packs were full the weaklings attacked them, but even in their frail state the weakling traitors were defeated. There's a lunatic or two who jerk himself in the wrong way accordingly. Lol. It wasn't until O'Rourke that any warrior clan would fight along of my clan against the fake royal's of England. You can see the cannon ball marks today, even.🍺🤴👍Hope this helps. KZbin is currently stalking me because I'm obviously... let's just say... Up the RA!!! Cheers!

Do you like the agent 47 game? It was made cheek to cheek, whatever that means. He's the spitting image of one of us. That's why he's Catholic.
