Forbidden Campsite - We Had No Choice // The Mourne Wall Day 1

Day 1 fastpacking and wild camping the 35km 3000m+ (vert) Mourne Wall in Northern Ireland didn't go exactly as planned. Perhaps we should have actually trained for it.

Thank you

[@alanslade2319]

Mourne walk well done 👍

[@grahamrennie598]

I absolutely love how every video you put out of the Mourns looks just as stunning as all the others before it. This is the kind of video that Lewis loves!!!

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks Graham! Keep an eye out at 7pm tonight!

[@jujujay]

enjoyed that one dude. keep em up....

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks!

11:26 A limerick based on the next 15 seconds There once was a KZbinr named Reid, Who almost induced a nosebleed, The poles that had protected his ass, Helped him fall face first in grass, And up his nostril went a big reed

[@StephenJReid]

😂😂😂 10/10 for creativity, 6/10 for rhythm

[@xti2020]

Looks like blast Stephen. Great video again.

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks!

[@CoachMarcusScotney]

Fantastic Video Stephen and takes me back to the summer of '95 when I worked at Greenhill YMCA and spent my evenings and days off running around the Mourne's. I'm looking forward to part two.

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks Marcus! 🙂 Part two is bit more dramatic

[@davidpoots8362]

You tease, can't wait to find out if you were arrested

[@StephenJReid]

😁😁😁😁

[@alanrobertson5497]

Hi Stephen, great video, really enjoyed Co Wicklow, Derrybawn mountain and another. Only managed a day hike, couldn't find a place to camp, all bog. Love watching. ❤❤

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks Alan. Hoping to get down to Wicklow myself soon. Any route recommendations for hikes?

[@alanrobertson5497]

I'll ask a good friend about hiking in Wicklow.

[@hedgerowsandzeros]

Running with a pack.... Barf! Lovely wall and mountain range tho'. 👌

[@StephenJReid]

We don’t do much running the next day 😂 I’m still recovering

[@snoop2477]

You crack me up Stephen! 😂

[@StephenJReid]

🤪🤪🤪

[@GeoffGreenawayOutdoors]

I’d love to give this ago but I’m not sure of all the sort of camping points. Love the video, you always make me laugh as you do so many miles. I can’t wait for the next part 👍

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks Geoff! Just learn bit by bit. 5 years ago I knew hardly anything about the mountains or wild camping

[@GeoffGreenawayOutdoors]

@@StephenJReid cheers Stephen, keep up the great videos 👍

[@markbailey15]

Another awesome video Stephen, looking forward to the next part. I've been wanting to do the Mourne wall but haven't got up the courage lol

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks Mark! Wall is a tough slog, but I think definitely easier doing as a day hike with a lot less kit!

[@markbailey15]

Thanks for your correspondence Stephen, it's much appreciated!.. you don't usually get that from content makers👍

[@michaelcultra4496]

Great content, loved it!

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks Michael! Ever done the wall?

[@michaelcultra4496]

@@StephenJReid Yes done it twice now , first time last year in a beautiful summer day and again this year in a beautiful winter day. Dark when I started and dark when I finished lol

[@StephenJReid]

@@michaelcultra4496 Think I might try it again as a day hike with as little kit to carry as possible!

[@Trundlebugg]

Another great wee adventure to watch Stephen 😃 love seeing the mountains in 🍀 I’m less than 10mins from snowdonia and there’s some very similar areas as you know but is nice to see the different characters ⛰️ I’ve been mostly living in fivefingers and vivos for the last few years, love them but I broke my toes last year and when I tried to wear my fivefingers after a couple of months, toe no likely 😬 after about a year off I’m slowly acclimatising my toes on that foot again 👣

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks! Lucky you living so close to the mountains. 90-120min drive for me to get to the Mournes. I want to get back over to Snowdonia for a few more hikes. Any routes you’d recommend that are maybe less well known?

[@StephenJReid]

Also. Ouch! Hope your toes recover

[@SailingInFaith]

Great video, you should do a tutorial on how you do the map lines on top of the video footage

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks! It's just a screen capture from Fat Maps, I can sync the activity from my Garmin watch and then use the fly through feature

[@SailingInFaith]

@@StephenJReid still interested in how that happens , we have a garmin inreach so would be cool to be able to do something similar

[@steveschnetzler5471]

I thought it was "never trust a bunny"? Funny, thanks.

[@StephenJReid]

😂 sheep are worse

[@PierreFarrugia]

Love those kind of videos, can i ask you what type of genre of music you use it’s called, as choosing music for my video is always a struggle

[@StephenJReid]

Not really any particular genre. I use a paid for library called Epidemic Sound and tend to search for music based on mood. I spend a lot of time listening to lots of options before finding something I like.

[@pixelpeter3883]

If whatever stays up long enough, it'll become an antiquity automatically ;-)

[@StephenJReid]

True!
