Horses grazing in front of a castle framed by the mountains

📍Greencastle, Co. Down

What a setting for a castle, framed by the mountains and the sea as local horses graze oblivious to the scenery around them.

View of mourne mountains from Slieve Binnian, blue sky with low clouds over the mountains and lake in between

Stunning view from Slieve Binnian #BlueSkyPhotography #nature #photography #LandscapePhotography #IphonePhotography #Hiking #Mountains #lake #sky #travel #LightandShadows #MourneMountains #slievebinnian #NI #NorthernIreland

Day 11 and 12!
Just really quick studies of the Mourne mountains from a distance and another of my idiot son, Pippin.
Catching up but not forcing myself to catch up all in one day.

Cold hike. Frozen ground. Winter wild camp.
Freeze goes live tomorrow evening (Friday).
A proper winter outing — the challenges, the calm, and why I keep coming back out here when it gets cold.
Hope you’ll join me for this one #wintercamping #winterhiking #mournemountains

Frozen ground tells the story better than words ever could.
Every step counted on this hike.
Winter strips things back — no shortcuts, no rushing, just patience, layers, and respect for the conditions. #wintercamping #mournemountains #freeze

A warm glow in a very cold world.
This is why I love winter wild camping — the contrast between brutal conditions outside and calm, quiet shelter within.
Cold nights, big skies, and a deep sense of being exactly where you’re meant to be. #wintercamping #mournemountains #wildcamping

Crunchy ground. Frozen grass. Silence everywhere.
Slow steps, steady breathing, and the kind of cold that works its way into everything.
Hard hiking — but the good kind. The kind that stays with you long after you’re home. #wintercamping #mournemountains #hiking #wildcamping

Cold has a way of focusing the mind.
Frozen ground, sharp air, and that moment where you realise winter isn’t messing about.
These are the days that remind you why preparation matters — and why the mountains always have the final say. #wintercamping #mournemountains #freeze

Not a lot of sunshine but some beautiful light, rolling mist and lots of sheep on the turf road this morning.

35mph winds straight in the face — you can feel it before you even take the first step.
There’s something strangely addictive about starting a walk when the mountain makes its intentions clear.
Cold air, low cloud, no promises… just the way I like it.

The mountains went dark faster than I expected the other night…
just me, a headtorch, and a very wild Mourne wind.

My new Walkwatchers film “Dark” is now live — a quiet, moody hike after sunset.

“Dark” — the new Walkwatchers film.
A quiet journey through night on the Mournes.
Live on YouTube tomorrow at 7pm

The forecast said “Rain.”
The Mournes heard “RAIN!!!!!!!!!”

New video: “Soaked – Four Things to Do When the Mountains Turn Against You.”

What happens when the rain wins — and how to get through it.

📍Slieve Donard Hotel, Newcastle, Co. Down

Pictured yesterday in some lovely sunshine.

Shelter from the elements. Lovely wee spot in the Annalong River Valley. Always good to create your safe space first, then you're ready for anything.

Autumn barrels on and the landscape is changing. Warm, windless and wet.
#camping #hiking #mournemountains

A scenic autumn landscape in the Mourne Mountains of Northern Ireland, featuring misty mountain summits under a cloudy sky. The foreground displays a winding gravel path through vibrant dead Bracken and trees with red and gold foliage. A solitary, leafless tree stands prominently on the left, with rolling hills and scattered houses visible in the distance.

"🍂 Embracing autumn’s magic in Northern Ireland! Vibrant trees, winding paths, and epic views fuel my soul. 📸 Capturing nature’s beauty keeps me grounded, even on tough days. What about you? 🌄 #AutumnAdventures #NaturePhotography #MourneMountains #LandscapePhotography

In the photo is a large rock surrounded by grass and 2 heather plants with purple blooms. In the midground there is fog while in the background there is Hen Mountain with its jagged tors and behind the mountain is a pre dawn yellow glow from the sun rising.

A pre-dawn glow rises behind Hen Mountain, outlining its rugged tors as fog clings just below the summit. While in the foreground, small heather plants with their vibrant purple blooms thrive against the odds in the weathered rock crevices.

The neighbours. Slieve Bearnagh from my camp on Slieve Meelmore.

The weather was very changeable but made the adventure all the more exciting- it's autumn after all.
#irishweather #mournemountains #slievemeelmore

Hiked up across Spellack to Slieve Meelmore of the Mourne Mountains. I swear my legs were busted but what a great overnight on the mountains.
#mournemountains #slievemeelmore #wildcamping

I love Slieve Binnian. The Mourne Mountains are decked out in rust and gold splendour right now and I am here for it!!!! Sunrise is always particularly special. The view over the Irish Sea is spectacular. #sunrise #mournemountains #irishsea #slievebinnian

Another miserable day in the mountains! Ha ha ha! Autumn is in full swing but just look at this weather. Northern Ireland is enjoying some early autumn rays.
