Hey Man...

I enjoyed that!! You've inspired me to do a video of my favourite places in Kildare. I'll send you the link when I get it done!!

Mick ;o)

[Emsmc77]

Love this! Fair play to you for filming it! Dad's was born in The Curragh - from Ballymore myself - not far from you - and we had some of Braveheart filmed there too with the army from the curragh camp as extras I believe! Our family used to go to The Curragh every Sunday to play pitch and putt and walk through Donnelly's Hollow. Always loved it, you're blessed to be from there. It may have the barracks there but is a very beautiful and peaceful place to be. Truly Irish! :-))

[LuigiLoz112]

FINALLY!!! a youtuber who lives in the same county as me!! =D

[ducksnbeavers]

Great video. We're coming to visit this summer. My godfather was born there and we have family who were jockeys at Curragh. Can't wait.

make one about kildare town , i love it there !

[wildirishrover]

I think you have a very good idea to exchange videos of your local area with people, literally, from around the world. Some interesting local spot, it does not need to be famous or well visited. We enjoyed our trip to Ireland in 2006, and desire to return. You have given me a mission to go out and video my "backyard".

[baney1962]

My grandfather was born in January 1884 in the military camp - Charles King and came out to South Africa where he died in June 1921. As a South African with I rish roots, thank you for the tour. I would love to make the journey from South Africa to Ireland.

LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing your backyard. Please do more. I know there's several abbey's and St. Brigid's that most of us will never see.

Great job. Come to the US and we'll show you our non-tourist places!

[vespidar]

I was born and raised in Newbridge. A British army barracks that kept the town alive until after WW1. After various political events the Curragh became an Barracks for the new Irish Army. My mother was born and raised in the curragh camp. it's a major part of my past and the Curragh is so easily taken for granted by most who live there. You've got a Dublin accent.

[konascrap1]

i acutally live just loik 30 seconds form the curragh

and i never relise how lucky i am to have such a place loik it

GREAT PLACE FOR MOUNTAIN BIKIBG ! =]

[eirnt]

[MADLAD246]

[RORELANO]

HAHA!!!! i sat right where he's sitting at 0:56! i went there just before going to see Prince Caspian a few weeks ago!

[RORELANO]

[JMowery]

Beautiful country... beautiful shots. Great music. I subscribed!

I hope to visit Ireland in the future. Take in all the great scenery that I'd never be able to see here in the states.

Keep up the great work.

[cryoarc]

cheers bro, you really should come visit... plenty more to see :)

[RABBI2717]

much more of the curragh to see,10,000 hectares,lots of ancient sites,lots of history especially military pity he never showed them

[cryoarc]

yea try fit all that into 10mins XD

[seattlerob7]

nice video, i had a few encounters with the grass when thrown from my mounts when i worked there as a stablelad!

[womenshealth2113]

so awsome if i had a backyard like that i would charge people to come play paintball there!!!!!! lol jk

[londoniscalling123]

wow

[NutEllen]

Pity they wrecked Donnely's Hollow though :(

[cryoarc]

Thanks, Recorded it in High def, then used the Sony motion picture viewer to convert the segments i wanted to MP2 format.

When i had the select few pieces i wanted i used a program called PowerDirector to edit, arrange, add effects+music then export the final version to MP4 which i used to upload to youtube...

Even though the quality is okay its still a drastic drop compared to the origional, which is a bit dissapointing

[martinfamily2004]

Beautiful!
