Title: Enjoying the recent weather
Post by: seanbranagh on December 12, 2014
I didn't get any snow where I live so I thought I would go looking for it earlier today. I didn't have to look very far, Slieve Donard. I found quite a bit of wind too!!
It was an interesting day, glad I had the Gopro in my backpack;

Nice. Which way did you go? Up-down from Newcastle?

Yeah, up the Glenn river from Donard Park. I don't much like the Bloody Bridge route so I usually go from Newcastle to get up Donard.

The Bloody Bridge route might have been a bit easier today though because the wind was from the west; no shelter on either side of the wall the way I went but there would have been shelter on the east side running down the other way towards Bloody Bridge.

Cool video mate, those Gopro's look to be the business!

Flip, that looks heavy enough weather. Did you meet many others? I must get my GoPro above garden level one of these days ;)

Its great to have the wall as a handrail and keep from getting lost.  I would think the wind was freezing!!!  Looks amazing though.

I bought a GoPro a while back but has been in the drawer ::).  I'm always amazed by the quality ;D.  Great shots!! ;D

Yeah, RedLeader there were actually a few other people on Donard that day.
I think there are a few others like me; the more extreme the conditions the more they want to go up! lol

Yep, the Gopro's are fantastic for the price. I am currently still editing my Kilimanjaro footage from October. I will post a Youtube link once I have done that.
