Moanerbikers Ireland Trip Part 5
Day 5 - During a 3 night stay at another plush AirBnB in Galway we decided to ride the Lough Corrib Loop. We took the anti-clockwise option and after a late breakfast in Westport we then came across a hidden gem of a harbour & beach near Louisburgh.
We then left the coast and cut inland through stunning scenery - mountains and loughs - and skirted both banks of the Killary Fjord - a 14km inlet of the North Atlantic Ocean.
We took in Leenaun, Letterfrack and Clifden before cutting the route a little due to the time - we still racked up 160miles.
Yet again the weather was amazing - a fantastic rideout!

Day 4 of our Ireland trip - Today we leave our stunning AirBnB in Killarney and head off to Galway. We plan our route along the Dingle Peninsula and up over the Conor Pass - a fantastic ride. After a pub lunch we use the Tarbert Ferry to cross into County Clare onto Galway. Once again, we were blessed by the glorious weather…. I confess to being chief Moanerbiker for the day - bloody supermarke...

Day 2 - Dungarvan to Killarney. After a late Airbnb check in last night and a good nights sleep in an impressive rural property, we set off for a 2 night stay at Killarney. A late brunch planned for Cork and then rather than taking the direct route we picked off a couple of scenic roads along the way.
Moanerbikers Elan Valley Rideout
มุมมอง 1732 หลายเดือนก่อน
Our first get together since returning from Ireland. We headed for the Elan Valley reservoirs with a return over Rhayader mountain and an alternative to the A470 south of Builth Wells - a little used road the other side of the river Wye, part of which incorporates the old Mid Wales Railway trackbed. We were also accompanied by Coby the dog in his sidecar!

2023 Scotland NC500 Bike Trip Pt4
มุมมอง 2.6K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
Day 5 - West coast. Another drizzly start eased by a delicious brekkie at Torridon. Todays highlight was always going to be the Applecross Pass (Bealach Na Ba) but we were also blown away by the ride along the coast to get there. We feared the worse at the Applecross summit due to the mist that followed us up but as we started the amazing descent we left it behind. Another little adhoc tweak to...

Day 4 - North West coast. A wet & miserable start to what turned into a showery day but the weather can be forgiven when you are travelling through these stunning landscapes. A map review over breakfast tweaked the itinerary and added several miles but it turned out to be an inspired decision incorporating more of the amazing coastline. Random encounters with the local constabulary too! - one w...

Day 3 was our actual start of the NC500 - after a delicious full Scottish we had a wet start leaving Bonar Bridge on our way to John O'Groats. The weather improved as we rode north with a couple of stops along the way. After the obligatory Signpost pics and souvenirs at a busy JO'G we then made our way to a windy Dunnet head for more pics and ice cream. Disappointed that the SD card changed jus...

Me and several of the local 'Moanerbiker' group planned a trip to Scotland to knock the NC500 off the bucket list. Part 1 documents the 2 day ride from south Wales to the start of the route near Inverness. Have any thoughts on what you've watched? Please leave a comment below and let me know!
A Circular Ride around The Verdon Gorge in SE France...
มุมมอง 6711 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Verdon Gorge in south-eastern France Gorges du Verdon is apparently the biggest canyon in Europe. During a 2 night stay at Les Salle Sur Verdon we opt to take an early start to beat the crowds and ride out on the D952 taking in the clockwise loop around Gorges du Verdon including the extra loop of the incredible ‘Route des Crêtes’. This loop is one of the most amazing ridge rides in France....
Great videos.... hope ye enjoyed your visit 😊
Yes mate, a stunning few days. The roads and the scenery was amazing and the weather really put the icing on the cake 👍
Great video, i'm thinking of doing the NC500 next year what time of the year did you ride it?
You got nice weather
It made the trip so enjoyable - Fantastic place 👍
Lovely place to tour around.
A brilliant trip. We were amazed at how stunning the place was 👍
This is ireland where did you get the sunshine
Yeah - weren’t we the lucky ones. Certainly made the trip a lot better...
The west coast is a great ride right up into Northern Ireland along the wild Atlantic way, thankfully the Celtic Tiger never got its claws into the west of the country, the East on the other hand is a total tip of a place especially Dublin.
Let the adventure begin...nice filming 🎥!
Excellent video...such a great place to ride and explore, especially when the sun is shining! Cheers Steve
Thanks Steve - Amazing roads and scenery and as you say, the weather was the icing on the cake.
Naive young birds? Sounds good to me!😂
I found it difficult to work out. What bikes were featured making this trip and did any perform better or worse than others?
fantastic so beautiful, I had no idea.......it remains unspoilt, they are a fortunate nation..
Thanks for that. Don't believe anyone who says Ireland is full. We have a huge area of empty roads and great scenery in the west of Ireland. If you're Welsh you probably will not notice the 🌧️ ...
@@robertbryson4576 The more who come to live the more jobs required, the more schools the more hospitables the more housing.....the more everything..... putting a burden on the country .....wake up..
i was up there on sunday enjoyed the vide
Thank You. It’s a lovely day out.
Unspoilt and very beautiful and the roads are perfect......all looks new. the country is getting more attractive to live in.
Amazing place Patrick. Thanks for your comment.
How much sh(t did you leave in laybys and parkin spots ?
Hi, I’ve watched your series about the nc500, really enjoyed it, what a cracking adventure for a group of mates. I’m planning on doing it nxt may on bikes with three other mates, can I ask you what camera equipment you used and how did you get it to pan around. Thanks Andy 👍🏍️
Hi Andy, thanks for your comment. We had a fantastic few days and even the gloomy weather didn’t put too much of a dampener on things. I use a combination of GoPro and Insta 360X cameras - the Insta is becoming my go to as it’s so easy to capture the footage. It's just mounted on the bars on an extending selfie stick and you just press stop / start and raise / lower it for different views of your riding. It captures 360 degree footage as it has 2 x 180 degree lenses The trick is processing the files - There is a mobile App for ’the youngsters’ 😁 where you can process and post virtually on the go but I use the desktop Studio software in the comfort of home and the movement is created by using keyframes. As with most techy stuff, the more familiar you become with it the ‘easier’ it gets. Enjoy your trip! 👍
@@RideTheTiger-hb5db thanks for the reply, can you please tell me what camera equipment you used on the bike please and how did you get it to pan around
Glad you lads are not slumming it
Thanks Pete - We were gobsmacked by the places we stayed at. Bunkhouses and hostels last year and the odd mansion this time around….
Cracking ride.
Thanks Mike - The whole trip was amazing.👍
original
NC 500 is definitely a solo ride if you need the security of your besties go in car
Ride. like! ice picture~ have a good one. 📹
Keep up the good work
Beautifully edited . Really enjoyed the series.
Thank You 👍
Fab😊 I'm just subscribed to your channel I'm loving this😊
Thank You 👍
What's not to love about the Ba. Looks like you had a great run down over there, you should take a look at our trip over there and you'll see a different side to it. Bloody campervans with people driving them that don't realise they've got the turning circle of a BP supertanker! Amazing how quick the weather can change up there too. It's gotta be one of the best views in the world though from the top of the hairpins. Looking forward to the next one
Thanks for your comment - Yes, we were pleasantly surprised how we got away from the mist that followed us up and enjoyed the brilliant views on the descent. Ireland looming in the next few months followed by Spain & France later 👍
Ahhhh, did someone mention the rain in Scotland😁😁 Even in the rain it's a great place to ride, as you said it's stunning. Those campervans are a nightmare, we met loads up and over the Bealach na Ba. Lovely route following the coastline, but it does rack the miles up. Enjoying watching these, bringing back lots of memories, cheers
That Dunrobin Castle is beautiful, and so well kept. Looks like you had better weather at JOG than we did!! Looked a nice relaxed trip with everyone
Nice video, brought back memories of our trip up there and around the UK. We were due to stay at the Invershin Hotel and Bunkhouse but it was right when Covid struck. Was it alright? When wee finally got to do the trip, we did a different route so stayed elsewhere. Scotland is always a great trip, if you count on having rain the majority of the time, you won't be too disappointed. If it's dry/sunny, you've had a result. Stay safe boys PS: Love the dancing at Haggs 🤣🤣
Thanks for your comment - Haggs was ok, we got there quite late so didn’t spend too much time in the bar but they served a cracking brekkie next morning. Yes - Mikey wanted his intercom set up more for music rather than conversation i think….
Just noticed i’d replied with Haggs - obviously meant Invershin, duh!
Confused I am , video starts in Carlisle then hops to my hometown of Newport, what's occurring
Yeah, see your point. The title was to highlight the destination on each day….
15:26 is you travelling past Ullapool, not Gairloch.
Cheers - it was quite tricky trying to log all the locations and tying them to the clips
Great series of videos 👍😀. I did the NC500 with a couple of pals a month after you by the looks of it (early Sept’23). We were very lucky as the rain gear stayed in the top box for the whole tour! You enjoyed a lot of the wet stuff by the looks of it. Great vids and thanks for posting 👍
Cheers Gavin - yes, we were there over the Summer Bank Holiday and the weather wasn’t brilliant. We didn’t really get drenched it was constant showers rather than prolonged ‘in for the day’ stuff so you’re constantly putting on and taking off 🙂 Fantastic trip though….
Dang I was just about to enjoy the ride until that ear violence came on. Maybe next time, bike and wind sounds for the soul.
Hi mate - Yes i did ponder on the choice of music but the sound recording is too much wind noise as the camera is elevated and not enough engine. i do need to consider having a 2nd camera mounted lower down which will pick up the engine sound as well as giving a different perspective.
Carriers Inn used to be a regular when in Delamere as I live fairly local and, A49 always a favourite run, last on the A82 in September and it’s calling me back although think it will be in the car this time of the year, great visual reminder to get back up there as soon as I can again thanks for that
Looks like a awesome trip and its nice to see a cruiser doing the trip i have seen loads of people doing the NC500 but no one on a cruiser i will be doing it next year and wild camping on my VN900 great video
Thanks Kevin, it was an amazing adventure - stunning scenery on fantastic roads. Tony did well on his Harley although he did suffer a bit during the showery moments. We didn't camp but stayed at Hostels which were quite budget friendly. Good luck next year on your trip.
Nice part of the world. I live west-central Scotland, 25 mins from Loch Lomond, and 30 mins from the coast. It's brilliant for biking, generally decent roads and nice locations. Enjoyed your video, good to see some nice sensible riding, the west coast part is my favourite, much more rugged and stunning. New subscriber 😊
Thanks for your comment - Yes, brilliant biking trip. We have been known to rip it up in the past but as we are now of a certain vintage we are more conscious that it shouldn't always be a race and to savour the moments more. We did the anti clockwise route and the north / west coast was amazing - would love to do it again 👍
Hi guys that's a great trip and great video. What camera do yea use?
Thanks Nigel - Yes, amazing tour. It's the Insta 360 X3. Simplicity itself to use whilst on the bike but a bit tricky processing the footage (Practise makes perfect)
@@RideTheTiger-hb5db a your very welcome. Keep it coming sir
good video ,good backing music ,welcome to Scotland
Thanks mate - we have similar landscape and scenery here in Wales but certainly not on this scale. After several rugby trips to Edinburgh it was my first time out in the sticks and it was fantastic...
I did the NC500 twice this year on my own, both ways and this video takes me back to the places I had forgotten about. Great video.
Cheers Mick. We're considering doing it again next year riding it in the opposite direction. Fantastic few days...
Loved that video. Cheers buddy.
Cheers Mick, currently putting together our venture over Bealach Na Ba which was an even better days riding...
