First time in a long time that I was speechless anyway 🤣

You're the second person that told me they stayed there! Must be a busier place than I realised and I struck lucky 😊

It is beautiful and I really can't believe it took me so long to visit properly. I'll be back there in 2023 without a doubt 👍 Happy Xmas 🎄 🎅 😊

Thank you 😊 Even with a head still half full of the cold 🤔🤣

Happy Xmas Miriam 🎄🎅 I hope to go back this year and do the walk to Glenlough and wild camp there. Would be be a good one for the long summer evenings 😊

It's a brilliant spot. I was back there on Sunday and it was every bit as beautiful as I remembered 😍

Hey Pat, thanks for the great comment. Seeing those dolphins must have been out of this world 🐬😍 I only explored a small part of the coast north of Port and got a small glimpse of the potential. I fully plan to go back late Spring, early Summer for a wild camp at Glenlough. In fact the route I mention on the video from Outdoor Active is yours 😊 Really can't wait now hearing your enthusiasm for the area 👍😊

Found this article about the cottage. Some amount of history there in such a remote location! www.irishtimes.com/culture/searching-for-the-road-to-glenlough-1.1155107

@@nialloutdoors Yes, the locals can spin a yarn or two about the welsh poet Dylan Thomas who stayed in the area. There’s also a great painting from Rockwell Kent of the old cottage I mention. If I remember correctly that’s in some Museum in Germany or something but lots of his paintings from the area remain “missing”. I may be back in the area again around Paddy’s day ( My brother and friends are in a wee band that normally play Roartys bar in Glen every year - that’s some craic ). I want to explore Lough Annafrin more and do a camp there if possible. There’s suppose to be an old mass stone up that way although I have never saw it. It’s a no go area in the summer months unfortunately as it’s a complete Midgey fest. Spring/Late summer would def be a good shout. Looking forward to your video from there. I didn’t even realise I had published a camping spot on Outdoor active lol. Think I just used that for stats when bringing the wee man the last time and published in error :-)

Thanks Ger 👍 You too 🙂🎄🎅

You too 🎄🎅😊

Thanks Mark, I'm afraid to make a list, it would very quickly require a second lifetime to complete 🤣

@@nialloutdoors ah sure IT IS WHAT IT IS :) .... I know the feeling...

My Mum and Dad have been and they really like it 🙂

www.outdooractive.com/en/r/287199867?share=%7Ezyskzcre%244ossitnu& That's the track from the last time I did it. Approx 12km round trip do approx 6km from Port to the signal tower...

@@nialloutdoors that's great. Thanks. Is that route marked?

@@kieranstafford9718 it's not but it follows the coast, keep the water on your right and you can't go wrong 🤣 Once you get to the tower the route back is marked and follows a track. On the way out from Port you follow the track and turn off to follow the coast. It's not signed but if you are watching for it you will see the tracks of others and a faint quad track. From memory there was a post at the corner and a small stone sitting on top. Of course the stone isn't permanently attached so don't depend on this 😉
