This is a short video montage of photographs I took during my trek along the International Appalachian Trail in the Republic of Ireland. On April 29, 2011 I became the first person to thru-hike the new International Appalachian Trail (IAT) route in Ireland. The trail travels 119km across Co. Donegal and traverses through some of the most spectacular scenery in Ireland. I began at the Bunglass car park along the Atlantic Ocean and finished at Kelly's Bridge at the Northern Ireland Border.
Some of the highlights include: climbing The Eagle's Nest below Slieve Leauge, coastal path section towards Port, the Maghera Strand, footpath beside Owenea River, the Bluestack Mountains, Lough Eske and the many small towns.
The rugged beauty of the area combined with the hospitable locals makes this one of my favorite treks I've ever done.
Later this summer I plan to produce a 3-4 minute video about the IAT in Ireland. Check back then to watch the video.

Hello, Great footage of Ireland Trails.
Met you on the trail between Kells and Glenbeigh. You took a picture or two of me and three men on the trail. I was wondering when you would post that picture or if you would be willing to share it with me. I also write and am looking for pictures with me hiking trails etc. Kim (cincinstravel@yahoo.com)
