🥾 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.

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.

Today I explored the quieter side of the Mournes — Crotlieve, Wee Roosley & Slieve Roosley.
No crowds. No obvious path. Just a brilliant day in the hills.

Into the mountains with Stephen Reid — a quiet wild camp, good food, and a conversation that went wherever the night took it.
Not about distance or difficulty… just time well spent in the hills.

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.

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.

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.

just me, a headtorch, and a very wild Mourne wind.
