Hiking in Ireland for a beginner may feel be a little daunting. This country is full of incredible places to explore and it would be a shame to let your fears get in the way of that.
As hiking is becoming more popular I felt I would share some pointers I think a beginner would find useful from my own years of hiking experiences. Hopefully, you'll also gain a little confidence to get out there.
I'm recovering from an ankle ligament injury, sadly no mountains for me for a while so I had time to make this video. These are 5 tips from my own experience and are by no means an official guide, please take care when you head out hiking as it can be dangerous. Check out Mountaineering Ireland for more info

Have cut up an old rollmat to make a comfy sit pad. The ground is almost always damp! Makes a massive difference to comfort when having that welcome cuppa. Also football socks make a cheap alternative to hiking socks.

Some great ideas, even if it is dry sitting on a stone can chill your bum. I've used the GAA socks myself way back, however, I wouldn't recommend them during on a multi-day or thru-hike

Great video for beginners! Did not know banana skins were such a problem! I've been using that as plant food for years so just assumed they would be ok and disintegrate after a few weeks... Thankfully I don't bring bananas on hikes myself, I hate it when they get squished 😅No one likes to find a gooey banana in their bag after a day's hike 😒
@MountainMikesAdventures
@MountainMikesAdventures 3 года назад
Haha, no it wouldn't be my favourite thing to find 😅. Sure I use to do the same thing with apples when starting out until I learned about leave no trace. We are always learning.

Hi Mike, a fellow Irish hiker here. I would add - don't be afraid to ask questions of other hikers, plan your hikes in advance, and know what to do if the worst happens. Have fun!

Nice!!! Some top tips based on some years of hiking!!! If i was to ever make a RU-vid video of hiking in Ireland, I'd repeat everything you said for point 2 about clothing. One of the saddest stories I know is of someone I met who gave hiking a go. They spent €200 on a pair of boots.......... and only wore them ONCE!!! Hiking wasn't for them!!! Such a waste!!!!
@MountainMikesAdventures
@MountainMikesAdventures 2 года назад
Yeah, I've also spoken to a couple of people with a very similar story. Such a waste.

Thanks, yeah I've been going to physio and working on it. There's the temptation to try and get as soon as possible but I need to make sure I'm back to full fitness.

Great tips! I’m hoping to be in Ireland for a few weeks in Sept, and wondering if there are any good used gear stores? I don’t want to haul a bunch of gear from the US. Thanks,
