Slieve Donard via Bloody Bridge

[@gerrymcveigh]

Adrian, a lovely day to head up to Slieve Donard via Bloody Bridge. Cool to see the scale of the quarry from the air. It can be tough to get back at it after a break from hill walking👣

[@OutdoorswithAdrian]

Most definitely a lovely way up Donard. Ah yes it's hard after time off sadly looks like I'll not get out again for a few more weeks. Thanks for watching 🙏

Well done mate, what a one to come back to. Great vlog, liked the way you showed the route up. Good job. 👌

[@OutdoorswithAdrian]

Thank you, it was a bit tough at times on the legs but well worth it the good weather definitely helped. Thanks for watching 🙏

Awesome video Adrian great to see the blue sky's coming back.. some amazing aerial shots.. great videos on your channel.

[@OutdoorswithAdrian]

Thank you 🙏 ah yes the blue sky's are great to see makes the views around a lot nicer. Thank you for watching 👍

Great video Adrian its been a while since i been up that way think it was a sunrise last year. Very interesting hike and indeed keep up the great work.

[@OutdoorswithAdrian]

Thanks Joe 👌 I prefer this way up to Donard appose to the other side. Although it can do very slippery in wet weather as there's a lot of stones and rocks to walk on. Thank you for watching 🙏

class editing Adrian 👌 been a while since I done Donard that way but can remember it’s a hard slog .

[@OutdoorswithAdrian]

Thank you 🙂 yes at times it gets tuff but definitely a great end to walk from. With the view of the sea almost the hole way up and the water flowing down bloody bridge. Makes a nice change from the usual way up Donard from the other side the big stone quarry is nice to walk through to. Thanks for watching 🙏

Brilliant Adrian. Great to see the colours coming back out on flowers on the mountains. Nice drone shots like you say it would have been nice to get it out on the summit but there’s always the next time. I definitely prefer going up Slieve donard that way.

[@OutdoorswithAdrian]

Thank you 👌 yes the colour's are starting to come back flowers and greener grass looks better. I also prefer this way up Donard it's nice walking past the old quarry and the sea view looks good. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@GeoffGreenawayOutdoors]

@@OutdoorswithAdrian yea the first time I seen the quarry I was like wow this is pretty big. Good to see the signs of spring and summer coming.

[@patrickholbrook5971]

Great video it’s looked amazing from bloody bridge side class views

[@OutdoorswithAdrian]

Thank you 👍 yes the views were amazing I was lucky to get nice weather. Lovely view of the sea almost the hole way up. Thanks for watching 🙂

Can i park my car in Donard car park, take a bus to bloody bridge car park, start my trail from there and reach the top and walk down towards donard car park? Or the other way around? Which is better.?

[@OutdoorswithAdrian]

Hi yes if there is a bus passing you can do that. It's probably a more enjoyable way to do it as you get to see both ends of Donard. I done that before myself only I walked up the road instead of getting a bus. Safe to say I'd rather not do that again lol a bus or some kind of lift along that long stretch of road is definitely better not unless you want to walk more after your hike.

[@vikasj4098]

@@OutdoorswithAdrian haha true! Thanks for the info! Which route is easier? Bloody bridge towards the top or donard car park towards the top?

[@OutdoorswithAdrian]

@@vikasj4098 I find the way from bloody bridge easier. But that's probably because I like that way up. Better views I think on a good day. Going down the Donard car park way would definitely be easier.
