April 2024
Join me for my most enjoyable outdoor adventure of the year so far. I did a coastal hike with my local hiking club along the coast from Slieve League to Malinbeg before heading to a solo wild camp at Glenlough Bay close to An Port. The perfect warm and sunny weather for the hike transformed into the most amazing sunset in the best location I could have picked to experience it 😍

Superb stuff Niall. Going to have to visit that area, looks really beautiful

[@nialloutdoors]

It is absolutely gorgeous. I've been 3 times now with different weather conditions and it's been amazing every single time 😍

[@Vic-pz5oh]

Perfect sunset and moonrise.millionares can't buy that🏕️ Niall

[@nialloutdoors]

I wish I could buy it, hopefully I'll experience it again some time 🤞

[@thatbyrneguy]

Excellent, Niall. You mentioned you had a restless night. I hope the night skies provided you with some brilliant stargazing before that morning cloud cover rolled in.

[@nialloutdoors]

Not restless enough to waken up properly and spend time stargazing but every time I did waken a bit the moon was bright like daytime it was so clear and almost full. I think I may have missed a fine celestial show....

[@soletrail]

Was looking forward to this.

[@nialloutdoors]

I hope it lived up to expectations 😊

Hi Niall. What a location !! lovely sunset, absolutely fantastic to witness. I can see why you would want to go back. All the best 👍

[@nialloutdoors]

The video only shows a fraction of what it's really like 😊

[@gerrymcveigh]

Niall, that is definitely a day to summit Slieve League with those stunning views☀👍 Malinbeg has to be one of the most beautiful beaches in Ireland - went there a few years ago (after a wild camp at Glenlough coincidently) and the sand was nearly too hot to walk on and there were dolphins jumping out in the bay which was magical. Always stunning to see the coast around Port, either in person or through the eyes of others, and I cannot think of anywhere more spectacular than Glenlough Bay👍 A perfect bivy spot to watch that million dollar view of the sun lowering over the Atlantic Ocean☀ Bivy is the way to go if the weather works with you⭐⭐ to get that more immersive experience. Not that often I get a really good nights sleep when out wild camping💤 A great place to visit more than once to explore all it has to offer.

[@nialloutdoors]

The West Coast of Donegal is rapidly becoming my favourite place to visit. Maybe if I win the lottery I can take early retirement and buy myself some land along there 🤔 For now I'll have to be content with some infrequent visits 😊

[@gerrymcveigh]

Me too😊

[@hikesome]

This is a fantastic solo camping adventure Niall. wonderful work!

[@nialloutdoors]

Thanks 👍 Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@시커먼선생Mr.Blackman]

I enjoyed watching this great video. 👍

[@nialloutdoors]

Thank you 👍

[@SetForAdventures]

Just great to see your joy Niall (a Bivvi on a night and in a place like that ! is good for you (as you said mate )) Thanks for sharing it with us all 🙏🏼🤠 Best regards Simon

[@nialloutdoors]

Thanks Simon 👌 Brought back nice memories and feelings editing that video 😊

[@SetForAdventures]

@@nialloutdoors yes that a one of the cool things about the editing is you get to kinda relive the adventure 😃🙏🏼

[@snowcelt]

Magical indeed! Breathtaking scenery and what an amazing coastline! I have scuba dived in the wee bay behind Malinbeg beach. The underwater wildlife and scenery is also spectacular. What tarp and bivvy bag do you have? I'm also a fitful sleeper so I know how you feel. I usually just have a lie-in the following morning and get up around midday! 😮

[@nialloutdoors]

I like your style Kevin 🤣 It's an Alpkit Hunka XL Bivvy Bag and a sil nylon Flames Creed tarp from Ali Express. I think it's it's 3FUL's US brand name?

[@soletrail]

What a smashing location pal. Like absolutely stunning 🙌 gotta put this route on my list. Might get to it this year. Lovely bivvy set up as well man. What tarp is it? Great job. I felt the calm you got from the sunset.😊 😊

[@nialloutdoors]

Cheers Martin, I'll be happy to show it to you 😊 The tarp is the Flames Creed (3FUL) small tarp. Got it on AliExpress using a link from a video of Jason's 👍

Brilliant video lad. Stunning setting! I loved the sunsets and the landscapes. What a phenomenal place. Can't believe you're throwin shade at the firepots! We will have to disagree on that. Ha ha ha. Great video Niall. Thanks for sharin

[@nialloutdoors]

I watched one of yours just before editing this and the Firepot comments immediately sprang to mind 🤣 Saying that I still haven't tried the Summit to Eat ones so I may need to reverse my viewpoint yet....

[@walkwatchers]

@@nialloutdoors ha ha ha. Which one did you have ? I love the pulled pork.

[@nialloutdoors]

@@walkwatchers that one was the beef stew, the first one I tried was Chilli con Carne I think. Disappointed with how poorly they rehydrated, the chilli was the worst of the two, the beef not too bad. Maybe it's something I'm doing wrong?

[@walkwatchers]

@@nialloutdoors The only tip I have is to stir it right down into the corners as soon as you pour the hot water in. I've had the lumpy dry bits before too- not nice. I would also leave it a minute or two longer than the time too. Just to be sure.
