  • Are you considering hiking through Ireland's highest cave? Before you embark on this adventure, it's important to understand the potential dangers involved.
    While the cave offers breathtaking views and a sense of adventure, it's important to remember that it can also be a hazardous environment. The cave is known for its steep drops and tight squeezes, which can pose a risk to even the most experienced hiker.
    It's important to come fully prepared for the journey, with appropriate safety gear and a good understanding of caving techniques. It's also recommended that you go with an experienced guide who can navigate the cave safely and provide assistance if needed.
    Overall, while the cave can be a thrilling experience, it's crucial to take the necessary precautions and be aware of the potential risks. So, if you're up for the challenge and prepared for the journey, hiking Ireland's highest cave can be a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

      Appreciate that man thanks. Planning on conamara this year. Haven't been there yet. Sligo is amazing. Went to college there and didn't fully appreciate the landscape but I have made up for that.

    I did this last week in the wet... didn't do any proper research into it and foolishly wore a pair of runners thinking it would be a light enough hike. How wrong I was. Feel lucky to have made it up and down safely because it was very, very risky

      Hey John, thanks a lot for the kind words! We had a blast making the video, and we're stoked that you enjoyed it. The national school part was indeed a quirky twist, and those ropes added a bit of excitement. We'll keep the positive vibes coming. Cheers for watching

    Great video sole trail . Mount benbulben is originally the remaining trunk of a giant willow tree . A species of tree called "the irish willow" grows high up on mount benbulbens crevices and hasnt been found growing anywhere else in nature than high up on its crevices . Depending on if there are also super rare species of flora species found on surrounding peaks could also be clues as to what the other surrounding hills / trunks were before they were felled before and around the bronze ages . Thank again .

      @@soletrail Thanks . Yeah the giant trees are a big and relatively unresearched gap in our planets history ST ! . The cumbrian fells got there name "fells" because they were infact giant felled trees . The giants courseways with its hexigonal shaped columns are a fossilised rootmass of one of these giant trees . It was firstly a russian man who figured the giant trees out . His video interpretation is here . Its well worth your time . czcams.com/video/VS3h6O-gD8c/video.html Thanks for the reply and great video again sole trail .

      Howdie.. we just got lucky to be honest. We were camping in that area anyways for a few days and me someone in the area who we spoke with. No idea how to go about it other than that. Sorry don't have a better answer for you. ✌️

    Should say. Very risky to rely on someone else's ropes.

      Agree Des. And those ropes weren't in the best of shape. Lesson learned but so so glad I did it but it is very dangerous.
