An Autumn Wild Camp in the Mourne Mountains

- Showcasing the immense beauty of one of Ireland's most attractive mountain ranges: The Mournes in County Down, Northern Ireland. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), an easily accessible and compact granite range which sweeps down to meet the Irish Sea, is a hill walkers paradise. A landscape that truly inspires, the Mournes boast stunning vistas of rocky tors and deep valleys, dazzling blue loughs and reservoirs and the remarkable 35-mile long Mourne Wall which snakes its way over 15 mountains and took 18 years to complete. Our wild camp on the Slieve Binnian ridge coincided with some exceptionally mild autumnal weather - clear skies giving way to billowing mist and a cloud inversion - lending these rugged hills a truly ethereal quality.
Music tracks featured in this film are:
Secret Garden: Silent Wings
Alexi Murdoch: Through the Dark

Martin/Sharron, a beautiful film from start to finish. The time lapse of retreating mountain shadows, rolling mist, sunset, sunrise and a busy night tent were stunning. Loved the shot of Slieve Donard rising like an icon from a sea of mist and the shots framing the wondrous rocks of Slieve Binnian. The music was cool as always too :-)
+gerry mcveigh Thanks, Gerry. We got lucky with the weather conditions which, as you know, makes filming so much easier!
One of the classiest videos of the mournes on CZcams, most have garish music and people who like the sound of their own voice.
Thanks very much. We love the Mournes and the weather on the days that we made this film were just incredible.
Lovely pictures and music. Almost surprised Boirche himself didn't appear! :) Well done.
Beautiful footage - such a gorgeous video. Loved the simplicity and detail you captured of the majestic Mournes. Really beautiful 👍
Incredible cinematography in this film. Thanks for sharing it 👍
David Hoy thanks, much appreciated. Check out our mournes moods video as well - czcams.com/video/H8NutFll4_U/video.html Martin and sharron
This is Binnian as you would like to remember it. Beautifully filmed. Loved your mix of time-lapse and your eye for distant detail.You kept my attention the whole nine minutes! Its put me in better form this afternoon.Have to get back there soon!
Thank you very much and glad you liked our video. Martin and Sharron
This is an amazing video and really captures the majesty and beauty of the area. I love it and will watch it whenever I long for Co Down.
Thanks for your kind comments. Check out out Mournes timelapse video as well czcams.com/video/H8NutFll4_U/video.html Martin and Sharron
Excellent . Mourne Mountains are my favorites in Northern Ireland.This movie showing the beauty of nature and Mournes. Sunrise and sunset first class shoot and clouds dance around Binnian impressive.Great adventure in the Mournes.
+PATRICK ŻERKOWSKI Thanks, Patrick. We were certainly lucky to get two fine consecutive days up there. The cloud inversion at the end made us almost think that we were in the Alps.
Your videos have persuaded me to take up hiking and wild camping,thanks very much and hope to see many more Martin and Sharron, again outstanding.
+Kieran McCann Thanks for your comment. Glad to hear that our films have inspired you to take up hiking and wild camping. We wish you many great and memorable days on the hills!
Now that's a proper job! Have to get up there one day again myself (used to go up as a kid when holidaying in Newcastle). Great.
Thanks, the Mournes are our favorite mountain range in Ireland.
Fantastically shot, well done and thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Eoghain. We were very lucky to have such in credible weather.
Brilliant - can't lose with your films, either I get to see somewhere new, or as in this case, re-experience happy memories of a familiar place. Beautifully filmed as usual.
+Adrian McGlynn Thanks, glad you enjoyed the film. The Mournes are where Sharron and I did the majority of our early hillwalking so we have a great attachment to them and have spent many happy hours up there in all weathers. This trip was really worth filming as the conditions were perfect.
Beautiful :)
Thanks a mill!
Stunning and very well shot.
A Girl Gone Wild thanks, much appreciated
Thank you for filming this
Thanks, Paschal :-)
Amazing watching those planes land all that distance away
Yes, that was the airplanes following the flight path into Dublin Airport. When you shoot timelapse at night, you realise just how crowded our skies are with aircraft. The all pervasive light pollution in many areas is another thing you notice.
Great video , been up there a few times in all conditions even an inversion it's some sight . Loved slieve Foy rising outta the mist in the distance stunning .
Many thanks indeed, Mark. We absolutely love the Mournes, they're great at any time of the year, and in any weather. Have you seen our timelapse film 'Mourne Moods'? It's on our channel.
Nice walk, beautiful scenery with many rocks. Thank you for sharing
Thanks
As ever Martin and Sharron. Perfect! Some amazing transitions there...moon and sun. And the insects against the light early on-well spotted. Great camera work. ATB Mark.
+Wye Explorer Thanks, Mark. As Radanath said:
Mother Nature is always speaking. She speaks in a language understood within the peaceful mind of the sincere observer.
Glad you enjoyed the film. This was one we really enjoyed making as the weather conditions were perfect.
Kernowclimber Good day folks...yeah mother nature spans all religions and I couldn't agree more with the quote. You guys captured it spot on. Look forward to more. Have a great week Mark.
Stunning landscape and wonderful photography. Thank you.
Thanks again. The Mournes are great at anytime of the year
Love the video and would love to get to the Mournes at night. Hopefully get the gear I need and do it this year! Thank you for the video!
Thanks, hope you manage a camp in the wonderful mournes soon
Ahhh now I'm chilled out :) Tim
+savedpurplecat Glad that our video worked for you! This was one of the few days when we have been on Binnian without rain, high wind, low cloud or snow. But on a clear day the Mournes are fantastic and such a compact range gives a variety of different walks (and on a clear day you can see them from Scotland). Regards, Martin and Sharron
Great filming as always, looks fantastic. ATB RS.
+Renegade Scot Cheers, mate. We got a couple of great days in probably our favourite mountain range in Ireland.
fantastic video you guys captured the mournes perfectly woozier
Thanks we enjoyed making the video
Wow! So beautiful! Makes want to go there.
Thanks, Brentz. The Mournes are one of Ireland's most beautiful mountain ranges.
wow Martin, absolutely fantastic has everything in it, from the mountains, to nature to the skyscapes. Amazing well done :)
+Shane Mac Con Uladh Thanks for your kind words. We just lucked out with the weather really!
So beautiful, one day I would like to see the motherland.
Robert Dunn thanks for your nice comment. Hope you get to visit the mournes. They are our favorite mountains in Ireland. Please check out our other Irish videos and subscribe to see future videos. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram. Martin and Sharron
Purple Peak Adventures I subbed! Maybe someday you could do a video on the Slieve Blooms. Not sure if I spelled it right?
Beautiful video as well the song 🌵
Thanks

Sean Mckinney thanks, the mournes a great place. Follow us on CZcams, Facebook and Instagram for details of our work and upcoming photo tours
Excellent video . Probably the best one of the Mourne Mountains I have seen on here.
You've captured the Mourne Mountains in its full beauty.
What type of camera did you use ?
Hi there, and thanks for the kind words. The Mournes are an incredible, scenic and compact mountain range, great for wild camping and exploring. We use a full frame Pentax K1 camera for the timelapse imagery, and were then using a Panasonic Lumix FZ100 camera for the video. We've since upgraded the latter to a GH4.
Amazing video Martin
+Pat Watters Glad you liked it. The Mournes are certainly nice when the weather is good. Martin and Sharron
Beautiful movie but I have a question... do you sleep in a tent or under a tarp in the mountains? We go to Swiss in 3 weeks, I wanna use my tarp but friends say you can’t use tent pegs in the mountains
We always use a tent.
Beautiful video with superb timelaps - thanks for sharing! Which camera do you use?
Hi Marin, love the video. Any tips for starting wild camping in Ireland? Many thanks.
+srtcharles65 Thanks for your kind comments. When we go wild camping, we try and head for the most remote places where we are unlikely to be disturbed by any one else. We usually pitch the tent just before sun down and will leave early the next morning. First and foremost, leave no trace. Camp fire are usually frowned upon as they scorch the ground and can set peat alight. We hate seeing plastic bottles, food wrappings, beer cans and mounds of loo roll left behind by others. Pack it in, pack it out! As for kit, well a lot of that is down to personal preference and how much you want to carry (and spend!!). We travel very lightly indeed, so that our summer camping kit can fit into an alpine backpack with ease (sleeping mat, sleeping bag, pillow, night clothing, waterproofs etc., stove, pan, eating utensils (made of titanium), and either a two man tent or bivvy bag). We normally carry freeze dried food on multi day treks. Getting your camping kit right to suit you is very much trial and error. I'd advise trying a low level camp somewhere first to test your kit and to see if you're happy with it (especially the sleeping bag which will need to be warm enough!!) before you head out to a more remote area. Hope that helps, and happy wild camping!
