Join us as we embark on a very full day in Harry as we explore the Northern Ireland coast. Today we push Jane to the edge at the Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge before being mesmerised by the waves at Ballintoy Harbour. The afternoon is filled with the stunning Giants Causeway where all seasons weather hit us but a magical 40 minutes makes this a picture perfect destination
We are Jane and Stew and with Harry our Ford Custom AutoCamper Campervan we will take you on our version of vanlife. If you are planning a winter trip, wanting to discover more about offgrid / wild camping in a campervan or motorhome then consider following this series as we share our adventures to IRELAND in our second series. We will be hugging the northern coast tracking our way through Northern Ireland and then into the Republic Of Ireland following the Wild Atlantic Way.

Stew & Jane ❤️
I'd happily buy you a coffee, but our South African Rand would probably only buy the sugar. Loving your content, maybe as you love birds you can cone here. Birds in the Kruger are at another level. Love from SA
lol the mere fact you care enough to comment is all we ask
Well hats off to Jane on that bridge!! She did much better than I did when I got stuck on the Corrieshalloch Bridge ☺️ Beautiful footage, the sea is certainly mesmerising. Thanks, Em 💜
Thanks for watching and commenting (as always ☺️) I'll definitely put Corrieshalloch Bridge on my "never to do" list ! 😂. I had to fight the urge to sit down as I would never have got up ! Jane ☺️
@@getawaygeese You honestly did so well, I wouldn’t have even attempted it! And it looks way more wobblier than Corrieshalloch 😂😅 Travelling at the moment, so trying to catch up watching vids 😊 Em💜
The rope bridge looked like a fun challenge. Giants causeway looked amazing. Take care Gill
Stew certainly enjoyed it 😂. The GC was fascinating wasnt it. Thanks for watching ☺️ jane
Jane! You are very brave! 🏅
I believe the giants' story more!!!!!! 😉 😂
Wow! Those columns are impressive!
Thanks for sharing!
Ju
😁
Need to think things through more 😂. Never again.
Loved the giants story too. Thanks for watching Jane ☺️
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
PS. My non-coping fear strategy includes anger and swearing the Hind leg off a donkey. My poor husband😂
Glad you enjoyed thank you for watching
Aw Jane, you did so well, I'd have been pooping too as my brain goes funny with things like that since I've had vertigo. What an absolutely beautiful location though, so definitely worth the effort I reckon.
Always wanted to see the Giants Causeway. What an beautiful place and didn't know it was National Trust too.
Enjoyable video both.
Thanks for watching
Two great locations close to each other so Northern Ireland definitely worth considering
Thank you. I had to fight the overwhelming feeling of wanting to sit down 🤦♀️ they'd have to of dragged me off by my ankles 😂. I'll be taking the feeling forward and stopping on dry land in future. I dont envy you having vertigo - I believe its awful 😩. Jane
@getawaygeese I'd love to go. Maybe one day.
@getawaygeese I think the movement of the water under the bridge would have made my brain go weird lol. I'm not a fan of heights either, or wobbly bridges. I'm sure you'll find the courage to do such a thing again sometime. The Go Ape thing did make me laugh though.😂 But a fear is a fear and you did great.😊
She did a great job to be fair but wasn’t sure how she would get back lol 😂
Wow, well done, Jane! You did it. Over and back! 😮🐕🚙
Amazingly 😂😂 thanks for watching ☺️ jane
Oh definitely a bucket-list item - would love to see the Giants Causeway. Your vid and photos really do it justice. I have to say that rope bridge would have done for me - not a chance, well done Jane for managing it ! 🦋
Thanks for watching and commenting - I am sure being out of season added to the visit as it was all relatively quiet as we like it …..
Thank you. Not sure I'd do it again 😱
Great episode. Jane’s commentary crossing the bridge was hilarious although she probably wasn’t thinking that at the time!
Lovely footage of the Giant’s Causeway and that burger - just yummy 🤤 ❤
Thanks guys for watching glad you enjoyed …. She did well seeing it through
Shes never doing it again ! I had to fight the need to sit down 😂
@@getawaygeese 😂
A great video, with rather frightening walk across the rope bridge, good for you Jane as you made it... all the views on the Giant's Causeway were awesome, thanks for sharing...
Isnt the GC amazing. Im surprised I managed both ways on that bridge ! 😂 thanks for watching. Jane ☺️
Hi Jane. I am exactly the same as you...and I am supposed to be a tough bloke! Got nervous just watching you. 😂
I'm just thankful I didnt sit down as thats what my brain was telling me. Theyd of never got me back up I swear. Thanks for watching. Jane ☺️
I was with you every step Jane, don't think I could have done that, but Tricia would have done it 👍
Shes brave like Stew. I was a jelly 😂 the thought of wood and rope holding me up didn't sit well. Thanks for watching. Jane ☺️
Back in the 70's, if I remember correctly, there was no mesh below the tread boards and only a few upright connection ropes between the hand ropes and the foot boards. Made it much more 'interesting' to cross hahaha. You can't fall off now, you have to jump.
Blimey not sure Jane would of gone across then 😂 thanks for watching
Jane I can completely relate to your anxiety around heights and nothing solid on a bridge. I took use the self abuse method to get me through 🤣
Awful isnt it - I think you've just summed it up for me really well with "nothing solid" on the bridge ! That was totally it. I'm just glad i talked myself out of sitting down as I would never of got back up. Wont be ticking the rope bridge box again anytime soon 😂😂. Thanks for watching. Jane ☺️
Great vlog, well done, Jane. Helen thinks you are mad. She wouldn't have attempted it😂😂. A bit of news, we sold Nemo today 😢, but we have ordered a new Bailey Endeavour B62, due in four weeks😊
Thanks for watching - Jane did brilliantly well. Exciting times and I am sure some extra luxury soon - enjoy
Wow the van looks great. Helen is right lol. Never again. Jane ☺️
Jane I had a sick feeling when you were on that bridge,I suffer just like you. There is an over the counter tablet call colepermin, it helps big-time,the acid in the stomach causes this feeling,you poor pet,but we'll done girl,you did it, twice omg. Stew a bit braver you are, well done .
I just show our kids the columns,we've never seen the ling ones, they all have been to the causeway,with school or on their own,and never saw that part.
It's on my bucket list. Thanks for a great video,omg that burger looked yummmmm.Great editing Stew, and voice overs. ❤
Thanks Lorraine ☺️. I was surprised at how much I went to jelly 😳 I'll have a look at that tablet.
I hope you get to the GC. Its just so unusual ! Thanks for watching. Jane ☺️
@getawaygeese Jane I was the same going up the Eiffel tower years ago, then they went like led wait, I got there, but omg it was awful.
I buy a packet, and have them until go out of date,but they are my incase,re if family want to go to a large amusement park,and I know I might get pushed into going on something.
There's peppermint in it,I take a few days before the event,ha ha as I call it. I rem Mizen head, that threw me, so girl you were so brave.
Oh Jane. I'm sorry for laughing but it made my day watching, and listening to you on the bridge. I know Stew wears Rab. I can't recommend highly enough some of the Rab lightweight waterproof jackets. We have the Rab Torque jackets that are a bit longer so keep your bum dry and fold up easily enough to go in a backpack. Stretchy too for going over your other coat if need be. They have kept us dry in the heaviest rain high up on the hills of the Lakes.
My work here is done 😂😂. I laughed myself watching it back as my feet werent even lifting off the wood ! I will have a look at the jacket thank you 👍 jane ☺️
Well done Jane.
You did the rope bridge.
Woo Hoo 😂😊👍💯
I did ! Ticked that box so no need to ever do it again 😂 thanks for watching. Jane ☺️
Oh my, what memories. Brought my mum back after 60 years, a few years ago. Worth doing out of season.
Yes I think being out of season and being quiet it helped getting to these two popular locations
Thanks for watching
Your a better man than me Stu I would have been shaking the bridge the hole time 😂
I would not of survived the day lol 😂
Thanks for watching
He's right he wouldn't 😂 I'd of hit the deck and they would have had to of dragged me off by my feet ! Jane
Jane, you did a grand job! I tell myself off too!
Now we've seen Staffa, we HAVE to go to the Giant's Causeway to get the matching set!
First and last time ! You must to GC. Its amazing. Thanks for watching. Jane ☺️
Brilliant episode, you can't beat watching a rough sea. Amazing area. Well done Jane, crossing that bridge 👏👏👏
Take care 👍 🐸
Thank you glad you enjoyed it … the fresh weather helped a lot even though we had rain showers - beautiful place
First and last time 😂
Well done Jane 👏 we are going to Northern Ireland next June and no way will I be doing the rope bridge,looking forward to the Gaints Course way.
You wont be disappointed 🥰. I think I will keep my feet firmly on the ground next time 😂 thanks for watching. Jane ☺️
I must say you two are beginning to grow on me. A thoroughly enjoyable vlog.
Glad to hear it! lol 😂 thank you for watching and commenting
Anxiety can be worrisome in different ways, one time my wife & I went up in an open cockpit biplane & my wife felt like she wanted to jump out, thankfully she just closed her eyes instead!
I totally get her thinking that! I'm glad she just closed her eyes too. That is definitely not something I could do ! Thanks for watching. Jane ☺️
Good video, bridge is in good state of repair so not too alarming. I was disappointed with the giants Causeway, hyped up so much, was a bit of a let down seeing it, but that's me. Enjoying your Ireland tour
Thanks for watching - I think going out of season helped as we got close to both attractions without people close by
The bridge was in excellent condition. Much better condition than me 😂. I wasn't expecting to turn into a complete jelly 😱. That sometimes happens when something is so hyped up doesnt it unfortunately. I find the same happens with films too. Thanks for watching. Jane ☺️
Well done Jane I don’t think I could do the bridge x
Thank you. Think that was the first and last time ! I couldnt get my head round the fact that only wood and rope was holding me up ! Thanks for watching. Jane ☺️
Second attempt to c9mment, YT locked me out and pushed me onto the next video berore I coud post the comment!! OMG Jane how brave are you, love the self-talk abuse, just the ticket. Next you will be on Celebrity SAS. Seriously, though, well done. We will definately be adding these wonderful NT opportunities to our bucket list for when we travel to Ireland, particularly as we're members. Thanks for sharing, I am going to get my other half to watch this too xx
You'll have a blast ! Not something I'll be doing again. If I'd of sat down like I kept wanting to I'd never of got back up ! Thanks for watching ☺️ jane
You are very brave Jane. By the way, the guide was not speaking Gaeilge, (Irish language) she was speaking English with her local accent. The wave at 17.30 shows, exactly why waves are described as "white horses" in my opinion.
First and last time 😱. I had a look at 17.30 - totally agree. Waves are amazing arent they. Thanks for watching. Jane ☺️
Another great film from Cecil B DeStew and well done Jane on the bridge facing the demons! Lovely part of the world. Visited in 2019 with my son who has settled in Bangor NI so any excuse to see the grandchildren! Thanks again for sharing. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Glad you enjoyed it - thank you for watching and I would be back again at a heart beat
Such a great place ❤️ jane
👍
Well! Jane I think you were incredibly brave crossing that bridge, knowing you have limitations. I could never have done it as I'm not at all steady on my feet these days! 😮
I'm not sure Id do it again 😱 amazing place though - thanks for watching. Jane ☺️
Cracking video, well done Jane overcoming your fears is epic. We loved it over there. Off on monday to Ireland for 12 weeks. Cant wait. Happy travels.
I'm not sure if I over came it. Or just reaffirmed the fact I don't like heights 😂. But glad I did it. Enjoy Ireland ! Best place ever 🥰 Jane
Well done Jane for being so brave. Your videos are just getting better each week. I think it's easier to visit these places out of season even though some areas are closed off as there are less visitors and you get to appreciate the natural beauty around you without the crowds.
Thank you ☺️ Totally agree. For the best part of this trip we felt we had the whole place to ourselves. Ireland never fails to deliver 🥰 Jane
Well done Jane you faced your fear. I dont like heights and i did the bridge a few years ago. We loved The giants Causeway, did the tour, love the tales. The guides are all very good. Keep the videos coming we are returning to Ireland on Tuesday. 😊
Isnt it just the best place ever. Well done you for doing it. It took me by surprise how much it turned me to jelly !! Enjoy and thanks for watching. Jane ☺️
sadly the bridge was closed when i last went , tremendous effort by jane ,and i loved the comment i dont think i can get back ,will just have to live there lol ,you did much better than my old boss who wouldnt walk across a glass bridge in an office block 😊
I feel his pain ! Hopefully you will get to do it one day. I took one for the team there 😂. The thought of a piece of rope and a plank of wood being the only thing holding me up didnt sit well at all ! Thanks for watching. Jane ☺️
Thank you for bringing back so many memories to me, this was amazing ❤I remember being able to run up those steps but the last time I definitely wasn’t running. My sister was a total wreck on the bridge 😅
I don’t think on my life I was ever able to run up those steps lol 😂
Thanks for watching
Well done Jane, no way could I do that!!
If you add "again" to your "no way I could do that" - that's a sentence that runs through my head whenever I watch the footage 😂 thanks for watching. Jane ☺️
You were brave Jane ,no way I could do that x
Not sure I'll be ever doing it again. Not even with a promise of cake at the end lol. Thanks for watching. Jane ☺️
Best filming and detail of them I've seen to date of both the rope bridge area and the Giants causeway..
Nice to learn you can walk around the bridge area .. for £10? without having to cross the bridge.. that an extra cost?
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for the feedback and watching
Not sure either of us would have done it.
I think only one of us would do it again 😂 thanks for watching. Jane ☺️
Jane I thought hubby was going to dispatch you to the next world for moaning on about the weather 😂😂😂😂😂
😂. The funny thing is I'm the winter bunny. Love it. And Stew not so much ! Jane ☺️
What, no beetroot on the burger? Sacrilege.
What areas couple of walks. Bet you slept well that night.
Never had it on a burger but I reckon I would like it as it’s such unique taste
Slept well that night with all the fresh air and adrenaline
Hope your well thanks for watching
Alan you are the 2nd person to mention beetroot on a burger. Not sure how I feel about it. Mind you if a really good chef presented it to me then im fairly sure id love it 😂
