I'm from urris and proud

[@Mobileonix]

Was up here this year a marvelous experience,a must walk for all

[@markobrien16]

Magnificent! My paternal grandmotherCatherine Hagan (O'Brien), was from Lough Swilly, Donegal. I've been there several times and it's one of the most beautiful places I've been to on Earth! Lovely music in vid too.

Exceptionally instructive. Very beautiful.

[@HardyBucker]

You're doing a great job showing off this georgeous part of ireland

[@gerrymcveigh]

It is indeed one of the most beautiful places!

[@WilliamDiverable]

Brilliant video. I live about a ten minute walk away from the bottom of Raghtin Mor, its always been a brilliant climb but now that the walks have been developed they are available to a much broader spectrum of walkers.

Mighty fine hills them Urris, great video Gerry..:) Thanks pal. Terry.

[@gerrymcveigh]

Tee Campez Cheers Terry, Donegal is quite a place alright!

[@gerrymcveigh]

Mark i am lucky to be only a couple of hours drive away in Antrim, it is great that distance is no barrier to us both in visiting Donegal!

[@jamesmccarron]

Thanks for a great video Gerry.

[@gerrymcveigh]

Cheers James, this one is going back a bit but it is an amazing walk in such a beautiful part of Ireland :-)

[@tonyxmc64]

Great Video Gerry and this will help me finding my way around Urris Hills tomorrow.

[@gerrymcveigh]

Tony, I trust you had a good day :-)

[@tonyxmc64]

Great walk Gerry. On the way down it took us a while to locate the WW2 plane memorial but we eventually found it.

Fantastic video !! Climbed these hills on two different days in November 2013, but I was thinking of going back to make the whole ridge walk. I must say starting from sea level at Lenan Strand is a great idea !! Thank you for your beautiful videos and also for your brilliant comments on MV !!

[@gerrymcveigh]

Cheers David, it is a great all in one walk from Lenan over a gorgeous line of hills

[@visitinishowen]

Fantastic video Gerry. Hope you don't mind us sharing it.

[@gerrymcveigh]

visitinishowen It is too beautiful a place not to share :-)

[@gerrymcveigh]

you live in a special place which i am in awe of each time i visit :)

[@shaunmcelhinney3195]

Great video!

[@gerrymcveigh]

Cheers Shaun :-)

[@tungstenkid2271]

We've got nothing like that here in England, our national parks are badly overcrowded and if you step off the path anywhere else a farmer will jab you in the back with his shotgun and tell you to "get orf moi land"

[@gerrymcveigh]

One of the great things about Ireland is how you can spend the day in some of the most beautiful mountains and not see another person :-)

[@tungstenkid2271]

Thanks to vids like this (and google earth) we're seeing parts of Ireland that we never knew existed, for example when I first saw Mount Errigal on GE it took my breath away, its like a mini-mount Everest..:)

[@gerrymcveigh]

Errigal is something special, even within the beauty of Donegal :-)

[@gerrymcveigh]

I have been lucky enough to stay in that area a few times and no doubt you are right :-)

[@donnyskinglongliveme]

Hey Tungsten Kid. There's tons of lonely places like this in England. Try the North Yorkshire moors, The eastern part of Cumbria is where the tourists rarely venture, and the Simonside hills in Northumberland for a starter.

[@ampsplus]

Great video. Please, I must know who does and what the first song is?

[@gerrymcveigh]

Cheers, song is by Moya Brennan & Schiller 'Falling'

[@markobrien16]

Well...., for me 6 hours into Shannon and a long drive to Donegal......you've got an easier commute. ;-) My great-grand-parents (my paternal grandmother's house) is still there, on the shores of LS.....on a coastal plain to the water. Nothing else around. Unfortunately we on this side of the pond gave the few cousins over your side our rights to the house and land for free and they've been very unfriendly. I'd love to get inside to see it and they won't let us in....it's been vacant 60years.

[@markobrien16]

Thank you Gerry. Do you live in Donegal? I live in Massachusetts.

[@ampsplus]

What is the second song in this video please?

[@dermotosullivan3065]

'Women of Ireland' composed by Sean O'Riada. See the description.
