Description
Mt Errigal overlooking Dunlewey Lake & Derrybeg, Gweedore, County Donegal, Ireland
Mt Errigal is the tallest mountain in County Donegal. She is the absolute pride of Donegal. A very iconic and symbolic mountain to the county & all its folk. With bright silver coloured rock flowing down each side, she is quite unlike any other mountain in all Ireland.
Errigal Mountain is climbed each year by thousands of locals & tourists including myself. I have several images from the base & standing on its peak, however for ages I’ve been seeking one from above the actual summit looking down onto the stunning town lands below. The problem was due to flight restrictions & laws etc I couldn’t fly from ground level as I wouldn’t gain this height.
Thinking it over I concluded that my only option was to scale to the summit with the drone on my back, then take off from there! This is how I managed to gain this high-altitude perspective of our stunning “Silver dressed lady” Mt Errigal. It was worth every step to me
