Wild Camping Slieve Meelmore | Mourne Mountains Hike | Migraine, Midges & Surprise Sunset

Join me and Stephen for a full wild camping adventure on Slieve Meelmore in the Mourne Mountains, Northern Ireland. This trip had it all — tough climbs, an unexpected summit sunset, midges in full force, and even my first mountain migraine.

Filmed entirely on the GoPro Hero 11 Black, this video covers the full wild camp experience from trailhead to summit and back.

Thank you to ‪@stephensophietracygrace626‬ for tonight’s thumbnail

⛰️ Route:
We started from Happy Valley car park, followed the trail along the Mourne Wall, and made our way to the summit of Slieve Meelmore for a high camp. We returned the next morning through thick cloud and classic Mourne whiteout conditions.
