If you’re going to do any of these hikes, please wear the appropriate hiking gear, check the weather, have enough food & water with you as you never know what can happen in the mountains. And always let someone know where you are 😃 Common sense - something doesn’t look right, go home. There’s been plenty of times when I was on a hike & had to turn around because the conditions weren’t good. Be safe 🙌🏻

Yes I’ll always remember this pier 😍 The stunning Dunquin Pier in Kerry 🇮🇪 It has been on the bucket list for years 🙌🏻 I could have sat there all day. Got superb view of the great Blasket Island 🙌🏻📸 What a beautiful place 👏⛰️

A forever ongoing debate.. what's nicer? The Cliffs of Moher or Sliabh Liag? 👀 Comment what you think is better 😍 I know where I prefer 🙊 Or do you love both?

Two of Ireland's most spectacular cliff faces.
The Cliffs of Moher in County Clare rise up to 214m above the Atlantic and stretch for almost 14km along the rugged west coast. With views towards the Aran Islands and Galway Bay, they're one of Ireland's most iconic landscapes. 🇮🇪

Then there's Sliabh Liag in Donegal. Rising over 600m above the Atlantic, Sliabh Liag are Ireland's highest accessible sea cliffs, with dramatic views across Donegal Bay, the Atlantic and you can see Benbulben, Sligo on the clear day 😍

Two completely different experiences, but both a reminder of just how incredible the Irish coastline is.⛰️🌊

I drove 6 hours from Donegal to Kerry to hike Ireland’s highest mountain, Carrauntoohil🇮🇪 I started the hike at Cronin’s yard, and took the devils ladder route, up to the top and then back down the zigzags route. It took around 5 hours, and in total it was 14km with 1,000 meters elevation 🤯 Proud to have done it 🙌🏻 Most definitely one of the toughest hikes yet, especially with the on and off wind & rain. 🌧️

So this is your reminder if you are ever planning on hiking Carrauntoohil make sure you are fully prepared because the weather in the mountains are different 👀 Pack extra layers, take gloves, a hat, base layer fleece, waterproof pants, and wear the proper footwear. You just don’t no what can happen. I packed extra leggings and I was so glad because when I reached the top of devils ladder, the wind was another level. Everyday is a learning day, be safe & enjoy whatever views Mother Nature gives you 😉🇮🇪 If you don’t feel safe, turn around go home, and try again some other time. Just don’t put yourself at risk. Because it’s not an easy hike 🫶🏻

📍Benwiskin, Co. Sligo 🇮🇪🥾
The vertical hike that takes about 2 hours depending on how quick you go 😂 It's definitely no straight path & has a few obstacles on the way up & down! Maybe take someone with you to be safe! It's around 340m elevation, but don't let that trick you 👀🙈

A lovely hike looking right over to Sliabh Liag on a clear day Located just beside Gleniff horseshoe
