[@W-E-A-P]

our lovely land of Éire we must preserve and keep our culture alive great video man. Gaeilge go dtí an bás. 🇮🇪⚓

[@soletrail]

Absolutely. Love the history and folklore. Doing research before hikes makes it all worth while.

[@alanriordan]

Great video, gives me another reason to come back to Ben.

[@soletrail]

Cheers Alan.. yeah that was one brilliant hike. Loved it.

[@mokolbokeoko5026]

As a corkman living in galway, I am very taken with the unique landscape of sligo/Leitrim. Well done lads, great video. Liked and subscribed!

[@soletrail]

Appreciate that man thanks. Planning on conamara this year. Haven't been there yet. Sligo is amazing. Went to college there and didn't fully appreciate the landscape but I have made up for that.

[@johnhiggins1028]

Well played lads,fkn great video,the positive enthusiasm is so up lifting,the national school was interesting but weird,but the cave and the views are brilliant,fair play for trusting the ropes,fantastic job,Thanks

[@soletrail]

Hey John, thanks a lot for the kind words! We had a blast making the video, and we're stoked that you enjoyed it. The national school part was indeed a quirky twist, and those ropes added a bit of excitement. We'll keep the positive vibes coming. Cheers for watching

[@deeweeuavp]

At least you went up with all the gear! Seen many person with just a t shirt and shorts n runners. The weather can turn in no time. Yes, going down will be tricky.

[@jjonnik93]

I did this last week in the wet... didn't do any proper research into it and foolishly wore a pair of runners thinking it would be a light enough hike. How wrong I was. Feel lucky to have made it up and down safely because it was very, very risky

[@PK-eg8yz]

Theres an old mining village on top of the mountain. Careful going into the mines thouggh. Some very steep drops in there

[@gonefishingtoday]

Fair play. You made this one look so easy. Some poor guy fell to his Death last year

[@sharonmcdermott1368]

Hoping to do this next weekend. On my list for a while. Great video. Thanks!

Love the hat👍 Definitely a steep old climb (and descent) and in that wet weather💧💧 A stunning spot with super views and great to get it ticked on the bucket list. Great job and well done😊👍

[@soletrail]

Thank you Sir. That is one beautiful area of the country. Really is. Hope all's well with you. Thanks for a support as always. ✌️

[@Marcia707]

Amazing Cave. Nice video as always, I really like watching your videos here.They are interesting, fun, informative, I love it when you talk about legends and history of ireland... it is very interesting for a person who comes from another country. Thank you:)

[@soletrail]

Aw thank you Marta. Your so kind. Thanks for the support as always 🙂 that is one brilliant cave. Bit hard in places but really worth the adventure.

Great video sole trail . Mount benbulben is originally the remaining trunk of a giant willow tree . A species of tree called "the irish willow" grows high up on mount benbulbens crevices and hasnt been found growing anywhere else in nature than high up on its crevices . Depending on if there are also super rare species of flora species found on surrounding peaks could also be clues as to what the other surrounding hills / trunks were before they were felled before and around the bronze ages . Thank again .

[@soletrail]

Wow Joe thank you for that. Love history. Didn't know that. 🙌🙌🙂

[@Jodigi12]

@@soletrail Thanks . Yeah the giant trees are a big and relatively unresearched gap in our planets history ST ! . The cumbrian fells got there name "fells" because they were infact giant felled trees . The giants courseways with its hexigonal shaped columns are a fossilised rootmass of one of these giant trees . It was firstly a russian man who figured the giant trees out . His video interpretation is here . Its well worth your time . kzbin.info/www/bejne/jISWmWmFYsx3bsU Thanks for the reply and great video again sole trail .

[@outdooradventuresireland1903]

How did u get the landowners permission, as in where did u begin to even find out who owns it. Is there any hiking routes along the ridge of tube Gleniff horseshoe. Thanks in advance 🙏

[@soletrail]

Howdie.. we just got lucky to be honest. We were camping in that area anyways for a few days and me someone in the area who we spoke with. No idea how to go about it other than that. Sorry don't have a better answer for you. ✌️

[@rachaellenihan7372]

Wow this was unbelievable 🤩

[@alanrobertson5497]

Brilliant 🎉

[@soletrail]

Cheers Pal. 😊

[@declandowling5496]

Deadly video lad 👌

[@soletrail]

Thank Dec sir.

[@lisafraser923]

Who do you contact for permission to climb? It's on my 2do list but when I went in summer I seen all the private land signs and didn't want to get in trouble.

[@soletrail]

We locally met a farmer in the area and asked. Not sure of contact details.

[@lisafraser923]

@@soletrail thank you for the reply. It looks absolutely amazing, although I think I'll wait until next summer now :( I'll keep my eyes peeled for farmers the next time I go and hopefully get permission.

[@soletrail]

@@lisafraser923 No bother at all Lisa. It is a very tough climb so be very wary. Stay safe out there. Thank you for the comment. Martin

[@DesHoulihan]

Should say. Very risky to rely on someone else's ropes.

[@soletrail]

Agree Des. And those ropes weren't in the best of shape. Lesson learned but so so glad I did it but it is very dangerous.
