The mountains went dark faster than I expected the other night…
just me, a headtorch, and a very wild Mourne wind.
My new Walkwatchers film “Dark” is now live — a quiet, moody hike after sunset.

Hey Walkwatchers. Our new video is available to view on the YouTube channel. I walk across the Brandy Pad with Andy from Bestlife Wild Camping and Outdoors. What an adventure!? Cold, rainy and foggy and a lot of darkness.

Sometimes the best adventures begin beside an ordinary stone wall. Round Seefin is only 228m high—but this little mountain delivered big views, a quiet camp and a brilliant sunrise. New Walkwatchers video is live

Friday night, 7pm My new video: “Rough – Wild Camping in 45mph Winds: 4 Things You Must Do.” Filmed in the Mournes in conditions that definitely kept me awake. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay safe and steady when the wind won’t quit — this one’s for you.

I spent an amazing night on Loughshannagh in the middle of the Mourne Mountains. Clear skies, glassy waters, held gently in rusty coloured mountains- a truly magical winter landscape. New video on the walkwatchers YouTube channel this evening.

35mph winds straight in the face — you can feel it before you even take the first step.
There’s something strangely addictive about starting a walk when the mountain makes its intentions clear.
Cold air, low cloud, no promises… just the way I like it.

First overnight camp back in the Mournes since the fires.
Quiet camp, sunset skies, good food and a thoughtful walk through a landscape that feels a little different right now.

Merry Christmas, Walkwatchers. December has been busy with events, work and a bout of flu, so I’ve been a bit quiet here. All well again now and can't wait to get back into the mountains with the camera.
Thanks for all the support this year — wishing you a peaceful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Strange wind during a wild camp in the Pot of Legawherry.
Gusts arriving in pulses through the night — roar, silence, then the tent getting hit again.
By morning the clouds revealed what was happening in the valley.

🥾 Love mountains, hiking and wild camping?
From the Mournes to mountains across Ireland, I make films about the places we explore, the nights we spend there, the people we meet — and what being in the mountains quietly does to us.

No crowds. No obvious path. Just a brilliant day in the hills.

Not about distance or difficulty… just time well spent in the hills.
