"Clearly a man not to hold back if he has something to say;
his comments, coupled with spectacular scenery, such as around
Clew Bay, Doolough and Uggool Beach, made for an interesting programme.
John Murray provided the pictures and Somers provided the words in what
was the most memorable programme of the week."

Declan Moroney, Ireland on Sunday.

Filmed through an Irish summer, this six part walking series follows acclaimed international writer and mountaineer Dermot Somers on a 400 mile journey through Ireland's most remote and spectacular landscapes. Entering his 50th year and after twenty years of travelling and climbing around the world - Dermot turns his attention on his home country.

The journey itself is from Ireland's northernmost tip, Malin Head, to the southernmost tip, Mizen Head, taking in the finest scenery in the country along the way.

Each programme has a strong element of adventure, - the most amazing views but also the most rugged and exciting ridges through the mountains. Mountains will not be the only wilderness area explored, there are deep caves in various parts of the western seaboard where ancient man slept 10,000 years ago and now so does Dermot.

The series illustrates that Ireland is very much still part of it's wilderness and that modern Ireland is a different world far below and far away. Dermot's route avoids towns, villages and motorways to show the sort of untouched Ireland that still exists.
