Thank you for this great perspective on my country! We're not lying when we say it's greener; you notice it coming home!
Ireland is so beautiful. I hope you enjoy it. If you make it to Muderhole Beach in Donegal can you please look for the dog begging for food in the car park. I reported it to ISPCA in June but no one will tell me if it has been rescued and I feel so bad that it could still be suffering. The supposed owner just said she was old but below the matted fur it was starving and covered in tics. He wouldn't let me take her to the vets. I would have rescued her but he was watching me. I don't want to distress you, but I know you are dog lovers too x
You did an amazing job capturing the beauty of the rockies! I'm speechless! What a beautiful country we have! I also love the map markings :)
We did 4 weeks in September 2 years starting at a friends in Donegal following the WAW went the full way round southern Ireland but only seen a fraction of it. We only stayed at campsite and a couple of Aires, can’t wait to go back probably next year
Must be wonderful to open your curtains to them views every day if you’re living there
There’s pumas too and jaguars down south.
Scariest moment: I was sure you were gonna talk about Scout running after the coyotes! Anyway, that was very interesting! I can't wait to see the Alaska/Yukon videos as i'll be travelling there in a pick up camper next summer!
🩷🩷
Yet another stunner of an episode. 😱😱 Love seeing the map come out at the end. This bus driver's eyes widened seeing motorcoaches negotiating those narrow, winding roads! 😳😳 Go slow & assert dominance is the mantra, I'd imagine! ❤️❤️😎👍xx
Love that hair color on you Chesca!
I’m from Ireland and have literally never seen it look so well! You guys are talented at what you do. Thank you for the positive video and for showing Ireland in its best possible light 🙏 Also, fair play to guy for trying his best with the madra 🐕
Always wanted to travel round there after watching ‘Ryan’s Daughter’. Some scenes filmed on Coumeenole beach Dingle. Good we have Google now as at the time I didn’t realise they filmed some scenes in South Africa and was thinking wow those Dingle beaches look tropical…
Hi Came across your video while I was researching for a trip to Cornwall. Love your content and unique destinations. Can I ask what time of the year was it that you filmed in Cornwall? Cheers Leesiloulou 🇦🇺
Ah thank you so much! This was filmed beginning of June 2024 💛 xx
God bless you both and your two beautiful dogs, a million thank yous for showcasing our beautiful county; thanks for treating it with so much love and affection. Please come back soon. X
Fabulous video. Ireland is on my bucket list. Thank you for taking us on your adventure.
Welcome to Ireland. I really hope you have a fantastic time! I'd love to do this some day.
Welcome to Ireland and best wishes on your trip. Every day will hopefully be an adventure you'll remember with joy. Don't worry about the weather it just adds to the atmosphere of wherever you are. Enjoy.....
Being from the east coast of Canada, originally, Ireland really does remind me of back home. She's beautiful.
Seeing Scout on Derrynane Beach, I had a flashback of where you rescued him from. You've made such a difference in the quality of his life! It was making me all sentimental .... until you started playing the tin whistle and he was like, "Ah! HELL NO! Bring back the guitar!" 😄😆 Did I see him off-leash for a hot minute chasing seagulls? Bliss! So much better than chasing coyotes in Mexico! This is a beautiful series - you guys are doing an amazing job!
If you like Lord of the Rings, there is a great video by cutiepie on youtube about how to play Concerning Hobbits on the tin whistle. It is a very fun instrument to play
Do I like Lord of the Rings… I’m a Tolkien fan girl. Well that’s my week sorted. Thank you! 🤩
Think I might have spotted you filming up at Falmore near Maghery the other day. DPD van if it was yourselves.
Not us I’m afraid! We don’t have a DPD van and we left at the beginning of August 🤗
@@OverlandingSophia Ohh, I thought I recognised the van. I meant I was in the dpd van 😂
@@dzzope ohh haha 😂😂 wish it was us though, didn’t want to leave!
Love seeing Ireland again through your travels. I have a new traveling companion again, she's 3/4 King Charles Cavalier and 1/4 Beagle, I named her Toby. She loved watching your video too. She said to say hi to River and Scout.
Enjoyed seeing your perspective, come back anytime guys, Greetings from Mayo
Welcome :)
Thank you 🥰
This world is huge its amazing you can travel all your life an only scratch the surface of exploring it all I hope to take a trip like this one day
In 2015 my husband and i and our dog spent 4 months in USA (during the winter months). Even if Miami and the keys seem beautiful and fun we decided to completely skip Florida because of how expensive it was and how it was not very dog friendly. :( It's okay though because it made time to see other nice places.
As a kid it was cake bread not soda bread not suprised you thought that lol lovely stuff
You finally saw some raccoons!!! ;)
Ireland looks truly otherworldly! Nice to see the tin whistle, looking forward to seeing you play it in a pub with some of the locals
Need a pianist to accompany me 🥰 love ya x
My son and I did an anti-clockwise route around Ireland, landing in Belfast. We missed the northwest and were back in Belfast 7 days later. Whistle stop and stunning. Slight correction for you. It's not the longest coastal route. It is the longest “sign posted” coastal route. Certainly brought back some lovely memories of driving a camper van along very narrow roads.
Beautiful! We’re only going to make it as far as Galway on this trip - already planning the return to do the rest 😀
Hi guys before you took the road for Minard castle yea should have went into a village called Annascaul the home of the Antarctic explorer Tom Crean where he bought a pub and named it the South Pole inn so read up about his expedition’s. Yes Tom left Minard castle and joined the British navy also some of Ryan’s Daughter was filmed there , the beach is very safe to swim in because that where I am from and enjoy the rest of your trip
Yes! Disappointed we didn’t know about this before we were there, but someone else mentioned it and Ben remembered seeing the South Pole pub! One for next time eh 😀💛 Such a great story.
Ireland is nice but bear in mind, this whole island was a temperate oceanic rainforest. Can you imagine what it would have looked like then? I'm sure the UK was mostly too. A lot of the west is overgrazed with sheep roaming free on the hills, hence that's why they're all bare and free of trees etc. If we could rewild even a percentage of it, it'd be a start. I'm from Galway btw, right at the half way point. Lovely video.
Absolutely, and the rest of the world, wherever humans seem to be, the old landscapes disappear. Saying that, Ireland puts England to shame. Ireland still feels relatively untouched and unspoilt in many places, whereas the industrialisation of England has ruined so much. In the midlands you’re hard pushed to find any sort of wild places for hundreds of miles. Urban sprawl… it’s the worst! My dad’s family are from Galway and Mayo, it was as far north as we made it on this trip! Already planning the return 😀💛
I read somewhere that 1000 years ago a squirrel could have moved from Mizen Head in the south to Malin head in the north without touching ground. The place was a temperate zone rainforest.
Likely to be oysters or mussel farming at Ballycarbery
Inch is amazing. Far and away was filmed there I think. Also love Dingle. Thanks for filming.
enjoy safe travels
Thank you! 💛
these views are nothing compared to what you will see in Clare or Galway
Loved Clare and Galway too! Kerry and Connemara felt really different, almost like different countries. Both spectacular!
夫婦間でヌーディストビーチっていいよね~❤
You really don't appreciate where you're from until you see it through the eyes of someone not from here :)
Love this, often so very true! 💛💛
Love love love this series - clearly I have a bias but you’re doing a great job of ‘doing’ NS 💕💕💕
💕💕💕
Awesome Video Both. Im not saying anything about the Scarecrow lol. I just cannot believe how amazing this is. God you've done some awesome research. So so stunning scenery. The coastline is unbelievable. Cant wait for the next episode. Keep Loving the Lifestyle Both. Love and Big Hugs ❤❤
Haha maybe I can star in a new Specsavers advert 😂 Ireland has been spectacular, honestly been blown away everywhere. Hope you can get out here! Big love 🥰 xx
I am pleasantly surprised by the beauty of Ireland's beaches!!! Really wouldn't mind taking a dip in them...
We swam in the bays and it was so much warmer than UK waters too 🙂 xx
Just caught up with this week's video. That stopover on the beach was amazing, it really reminded me of the one you had in Turkey. I loved Scouts reaction to the penny whistle, he really didn't know what to make of it 😅. Looking forward to seeing the next installment of these travels, stay safe, with love Sue and Bryn xx
Yes some of the beaches are quite like Turkey! I think I say in a later video, after swimming in the sea off a white sand beach that it was like being in the Med. Haha no Scout does not approve of the tin whistle, not sure Ben does either 😂💛 xxx
we call them grape leaves here in montana
Looks so beautiful guys! Enjoy every moment 🥰
Thanks so much guys, it’s a special place 🥹💛
You should visit the Burren in North Clare. Apparently, Tolkien wrote Lord of the Rings after visiting the Burren during his time lecturing in Galway. The episode of Fr Ted with Richard Wilson (One foot in the grave) was filmed there. There's also the Poulnabrone Dolman & the Ailwee caves.
Yes! We hiked the Burren, coming in our next video! It was probably one of my favourite places we’ve been. It had such a special feeling to the whole place. We loved it. And I’m a huge Tolkien fan, not surprised at all I also feel such a love for Ireland 🥹💛
The American who had come to Ireland 5 times and there was only sunshine on one of those times, only one out of five, I just see him as a very unlucky person, jinxed even.
We think so too. We were 4/5 weeks and had loads of sun, way more than in England!
"Give us a blow!" Im disappointed, always such a clean and wholesome channel ! 😂😂😂 Those peninsulas are stunning. it's now on the list.
Oh you know us, butter wouldn’t melt! 😉 Get yourself out here. It’s wonderful x
Such a wonderful exposure of my home land ,,, U guys do great videos ... respect and love
Thank you so much 💛💛
Great weather helps so much .. look forward to exploring these quiet places, keep up the great content!
It really does!! 💛
Hi Ben & Jessica, Really enjoying your Ireland videos / travels, I have been following your travels for a few years, Im located in Northern Ireland and if your passing through, I would love to meet up with yous and buy you a coffee, Regards Eamonn
Thanks so much Eamonn! We won’t be making it further north of Galway on this trip but already planning our return to finish up the northern half 💛🙏
Merci for my nightcap.....🍷
Anytime! 🍷💛
