2023 Update: These videos were filmed back in 2021. As of 2023 Jill and I are no longer together and she is not associated with this channel. Wishing her all the best for the future!
Well I did warn ye about the "Land of the sideways rain" when cycling the wild west of Ireland, but you battled on and made it through so fair play to you both. Thoroughly enjoyed the video as always 😉
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Haha you did indeed, and it continued to live up to the name! I will say, however, that the weather in the coming videos from Scotland make our journey through Ireland look like a Mediterranean getaway 😅
@@TieranFreedman Oh wow, you really had it tough then. I don't know whether you were brave or crazy to be cycling in Scotland in October. Probably a little of both😆
Breathingly beautiful journey in Ireland🎉the fine film cutting keeps the long journey looks well organised as well as well presented, whole story neat, fluid, without a single useless picture being inserted. You guys is one of the best pair of couples i've ever seen, absolutely always in sync, clicks at the right time. Keep it up!❤
@@TieranFreedmanright now is hot and humid in Florida but winter months are great. Heading up north to ride Erie Canal Trail. Looking forward to that and posting videos as I ride.
It was really stunning there, even in the pouring rain. Haha our initial plan had us making it there by late August/early September. Unfortunately our bikes weren't built for that kind of speed 😅
The hospitality in Ireland was incredible! The trip wouldn't have been the same without it. And I generally use Komoot for navigation while cycle touring, but the WAW is so well sign-posted that we barely needed to check the map while we were on it.
I think fully-loaded bikes are a bit of an ice-breaker. So how people receive you if you're travelling by car or something is very different from cycle touring. I've cycled toured in several different countries and always am so surprised by the hospitality I've been lucky enough to experience, even in places that are typically considered more reserved. I really hadn't expected it in the UK or Ireland to be honest, but it totally blew me away.
I actually had some big technical problems when we were cycling through there and didn't end up filming much because I was so stressed about it 😅 but you can catch a glimpse of that area at 11.51. Enjoy your trip!
@@TieranFreedman ... oh yes good sir I did watch that part of your tour this morning ... as in America and I was politely teasing you it will just build the anticipation more when I’m there in a few weeks I’m going to SURF ride my bicycle and go to a few boxing gyms that are located within 5 km of ALLINGHAM Arms ... I live on the garden island of Kauai and ride my bike every day after work to the WAILUA waterfall and BACK 8 miles ... I am 45% Irish and can’t wait to engage with the beautiful friendly people America used to be friendly now it’s hit and miss but I’m classic American and really appreciate and respect your efforts do you have a drone you’ve got some cool overhead shoots ... if you’re ever on my island get in touch with me I am a tour guide at KAUAI BACK COUNTRY ADVENTURES tubing / zipping check us out Best regards your potential pal the gargoyle ... Stay faithful finish well ALOHA
You are free to wild camp on any public land, but in some places it can be quite exposed or marshy. The weather is often quite challenging too. So we opted for knocking on locals doors to see if we could camp in their gardens! Met a lot of wonderful people that way. Glad you enjoyed the video, and good luck!

The people from Ireland who helped you and offered you to stay at their home are very courteous folks. Stunningly beautiful countryside! Thanks.
The hospitality we experienced was absolutely incredible. Definitely the highlight of the trip!
I am thoroughly impressed by your stamina and cheerfulness. Bravo!
Thank you! Wouldn't have been nearly as doable without the help of locals we met along the way😊
Wow this sofa im sitting on inside in June is awfully warm and dry
Some tough going. Youse must be strong and fit. Well done.
Thank you! By this point we were... the first few days of the trip were a heck of an adjustment fitness-wise though haha

@@thewildgoose7467 Would it impact your assessment if I told you we actually cycled through November and into the start of December? 😂
Absolutely inspiring watching how well you just get on and do it
Thank you! It's easier to put on a brave face while the cameras are on 😅
Fantastic video again, looking forward to the next video! Can’t wait to see how you cover the history up the north👀
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it! Big mix of excited and nervous to publish that one😅 It'll be out in 3 weeks!

Keep it up!❤
Thank you for the kind words! It's an absolutely stunning country, even when the weather is horrendous😅
@@TieranFreedman hmmmm Right after those horrendous whether, you guys got tighter bond. ＜3
Another terrific episode...you guys are really troupers! Looking forward to your next installment.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! The weather in Scotland made Ireland seem like a Mediterranean holiday, so there's that to look forward to 😅
Another great video - looking forward to the next episode. You both take all this wet misery in stride. Cheers
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it! Haha well we had to put on a brave face for the camera 😅
I’m here now, Great vid as always and I’m having chicken burgers with chips 🍟🍔
Haha welcome back Thomas! Enjoy the meal 😂
Great bike touring video. I live and bike touring here In Florida, it's so different.
Thank you! I can imagine. I've never been but it must be quite a hot and humid place to tour.

You are in my part of the world - Mayo - I was born and grew up there. But you picked a terrible month to be there.
It was really stunning there, even in the pouring rain. Haha our initial plan had us making it there by late August/early September. Unfortunately our bikes weren't built for that kind of speed 😅
I am glad to see my fellow Irish are treating you well. Can I ask do you follow a paper mao or an app for the WAW?
The hospitality in Ireland was incredible! The trip wouldn't have been the same without it. And I generally use Komoot for navigation while cycle touring, but the WAW is so well sign-posted that we barely needed to check the map while we were on it.
@@TieranFreedman super, I hope to do a chunk of the WAW in autumn
I wonder how different this would be in America. Since you can't stop in random peoples houses in most of the country

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Many more on the way (editing the next series as we speak) 😁
I will be in north west Ireland in September ( Bondoran ) any footage of that area ?
I actually had some big technical problems when we were cycling through there and didn't end up filming much because I was so stressed about it 😅 but you can catch a glimpse of that area at 11.51. Enjoy your trip!

I am planning to do the wild Atlantic way could you tell me where to camp etx plz I really like the video all the best Lee and Stacey from belfast
