WATCH: Stunning timelapse video of Mourne Mountains
Avid hillwalkers Martin Critchley and his partner Sharron Schwartz spent a year-and-a-half filming the seasonal changes at the world-famous County Down beauty spot.
“We absolutely fell in love with the Mountains of Mourne and vicinity years ago,” Martin said. “Since then we have developed a parallel passion for landscape photography and videography, calling ourselves Purple Peak Adventures.

“During one camp on Slieve Commedagh we were visited overnight by a brazen fox who stole one of our rucksacks from the porch of our tent and chewed through several straps!”
The stunning footage has already attracted close to 3,000 views on YouTube and it has received nothing but positive comments.
“Pure splendor Martin...loved the rainbow shot from 2.11...Well done mate :),” wrote poster Tee Campez.
“Incredible, beautiful imagery,” added Jason McCormac.
