@Joseph13163 to begin with perhaps but they wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of adding the location numbers and giving a list of the locations and corresponding numbers to the Allied pilots.
The smaller concrete structure on Malin Head looks like one of the many look- out posts for German U Boats built by the Irish government during WW2. Each one was equipped with a phone, a fireplace and a crew with binoculars keep a watch over the seas. The larger building

@@noelward9579 True. I live in West Cork and we still have the bunkers built by the Americans in WW2 like the one near me on Whiddy Island. Some Germans were incarcerated in the Curragh Camp until the war was over. Some of them has crashed their planes and survived. Right-ring Brits like to dismiss these facts and claim inaccurately that Ireland was on the side of the Germans. It suits their narrative. The historical proof tells an opposite story. 👍💚
We watch all your videos and you’re on our home ground. Great to see you’re getting great weather and the videos are absolutely superb. Hopefully this will encourage other people to come and sample some of the great Irish scenery and hospitality 👍
Thanks for watching! Must be nice to see places closer to home 😊 yeah the weather has been amazing! -couldn’t have wished for better 😎. I hope so, but not too many visitors 😉
Thanks!! Yeah we kept pinching ourselves when we saw the sun each day 😁 but it really has made for a fantastic trip and so glad we were able to throw the drone up so much with the good weather. Thanks for watching and we appreciate your comment 😎👍🏻
Throughly enjoying the series guys. I did Malin head and the ferry last Sept when I was touring for a week. Going back in two weeks, can’t wait. Will be filming the whole trip as I did last yr 😁
Thanks very much, great to hear you have been enjoying it! 😊 yeah definitely a place to go back to, hope your return trip goes well and you get some great footage 😎🙌🏻
Hi Jeff, thanks very much and happy to hear you enjoyed it. Yeah we love a ferry ride too! Something about arriving in a place by boat that feels adventures 😊 also a welcomed little break, we really enjoyed them in Norway too.
Hehe based on our experience of traveling Ireland it never rains lol 😂 We actually changed our riding gear for this tour of the UK and Ireland expecting rain and in the end out of 4 weeks it rained only twice! 😊
That tower at Malin Head is the same as the one you saw at Slieve League. Napoleonic era signal tower. About 80 odd were built in total and many remain. There’s one at the southern end of the Cliffs of Moher as well.
You're mistaken as you are referring to the Martello Towers that are dotted around the coast. These are concrete towers from WW2. Concrete had not yet been invented in the Napoleonic era. 👍💚
@@Dreyno Well I'm sorry but in this instance you really are wrong. Go and read up on what this tower on Malin Head is and you'll learn that it's a concrete bunker from WW2. It's ok to be incorrect and not make it into a big deal, and make yourself look insecure. Take care and I wish you well. 👍😊
Fun Fact, Malin head is the northernmost part of Ireland, and is further north than anywhere in Northern Ireland. This is why you never, ever ever refer to Ireland (or in your case Island) as "the South" or "Southern Ireland" unless referring to the counties of Cork and Kerry. Also the Eire you see written on the headlands is pronounced "eh-rah". Have enjoyed your quick tour of my country, and your many mispronunciations, and finding some of the best kept views, away from the usual tourist trail (Cliffs of "Mow-herr are a ripoff, the cliffs in "Ah--kill" are just as nice, and cost nothing to visit. (Joking aside, the placenames do come from a whole other Language, of course). Looking forward to see how you manage Scutland. Keep between the ditches!
I find it difficult to understand how English people can't pronounce the names of places in Ireland correctly seeing as though the names were anglicised to suit them when we were colonised, it would be good craic to hear them trying to pronounce the names in Irish! A lot of north Donegal is more northerly than any part of the six counties apart from Rathlin island I suppose. That wee ferry across lough Foyle is expensive for what it is, much nicer to ride in through Derry city and see the sights in there of the murals etc and the old city walls. I would have liked to see them ride past the big sign at Bridgend which says welcome to Ireland! Sean and Emily are covering a lot of ground on this trip for sure.

EIRE signs were to tell the pilots they were flying over a neutral country not so much to tell them where they were going.

Ahhh that makes sense, we thought it looked fairly modern. Thanks for the info 😎👍🏻

Buncrana is a beautiful area, the walk wats and beaches are stunning, definitely worth a couple days if anyone is visiting
It sure is and yeah agree it would be nice to spend a couple of days exploring the area 😊👍
@@SeanandEmily Great videos btw and glad you enjoyed Donegal 😊

Yes, that scenery is spectacular. Wonderful drone footage and a lovely way to leave Ireland. Safe travels, both 🙂
Thanks Gary! Yeah we left Ireland feeling really good and wanting to come back which is always a good note to leave a place on 😊
Beautiful coastal views once again 🏴
Thanks Martin, yeah the last few coastal views were of Ireland before the Scotland section starts 😊
Another great video, always a joy to watch. You got a nice calm day at Malin Head, I've been there a few times, always blowing a gale.
Thanks Tim, yeah weather was perfect!! So thankful of the weather we had 😊
Donegal my home county truly beautiful landscapes, happy you had good weather for your time here

A wonderful county! We have had a fantastic time exploring Ireland 😊
Ahh thanks for the info 😎👍🏻
Such a nice place...and what a luxury to get coffee. Great episode. Looking forward to Northern Ireland 😊
It was a fantastic coffee too!! 😁 Thanks, it’s going to be a brief Northern Ireland visit but it was special 😊.
Another great video. My goodness you have been so lucky with the weather. Your drone work is spectacular.

Another good video love the ferry rides only been on one on the bike but it was cool

Another beautiful part of the world. Thanks for sharing. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.

Thanks Steve! Will be out this weekend 👍
Well , what can I say ?
Thumbs up from Swede….errr…Reykjavik 🇮🇸right now 🤪
Watching from Iceland! That’s dedication 😎💪🏻. So cool in Reykjavik -hope you’re having a great trip 👍🏻
Always listen to the boss sean 😅😅😅
Haha if I've learnt anything it's that 😂
@SeanandEmily and me aswell mate ha ha
'The exception' lol ... There's an understatement!
There is a saying; if you travel to Ireland expecting rain, you are unlikely to be disappointed!!
Hehe based on our experience of traveling Ireland it never rains lol 😂 We actually changed our riding gear for this tour of the UK and Ireland expecting rain and in the end out of 4 weeks it rained only twice! 😊
You have done Ireland so much good
Thanks very much! It’s an honour to be able to showcase Ireland’s beauty -especially with the fantastic weather it gave us 😊👍🏻

Thanks, very interesting indeed 😊👍

@@helenaville5939 I am not wrong. It’s not concrete. It is stone built and rendered. Martello towers are completely different.

Great to see you're now in N Ireland ;-).
Yeah finally made it to the the top! 😊 Unfortunately time is not on our side so we won’t be staying long in N Ireland 👍🏻
@@SeanandEmily As long as you do----- have done the Antrim coast road.
Yes that we did 😎👍🏻
@SeanandEmily did you do the Antrim coast to Larne on Sunday 🤔 as we and every NI biker and Motorhome was too lol..
So beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
You are on Malin head the most northerly part of Ireland and you can then look south eastwards at the wee 'north' of Ireland, something badly wrong.🥰
Had never thought of that 🤔
Love those helmets..can you tell me more about them..?
Here’s the link 👍🏻

Are you guys going to check out Scotland & Edinburgh???
Hi Bill, we sure are! No plans to go into Edinburgh itself though as we have been before (will save the time for the Highlands)
Enjoyed that, Malin pronounced as in malware!
Glad you liked it! My antivirus software must have filtered it out 😉
Lovely, enjoyed that. Ps. Malin pronounced as in malware!
Gotcha 👍

Another great video....but (don't hate me) another correction...It's Malin Head...pronounced "Mal-in"...not "Mail-in" 😋
Glad you enjoyed it 😊👍
Obvious never listened to the Shipping Forecast
@@colinmacdonald5732 Yep, not a Radio 4 listener
Tell me you took the path in Malin Head to the tip of Ireland? That's where the proper views are
Everything we do is on the vlog.
Those drone views are magnificant. I'm surprised how far you can fly. Great overview. And perfect weather again.😎👍
Yeah the range is very impressive -it can go much further too but this is as far as we wish to push it 😁
👍👍👍🇮🇪
Thanks Michael! Ireland’s been amazing 😎👍🏻
Enjoyed watching
How tall are you may i ask you seem fun size or your husband is very tall
Bit of both 😂🤣
Does Emily ever sit in the driver seat? Would she like to?
Hi Emily here. I can’t even relatively touch the floor on the GSA. Not even a little bit 😂🤣
It's not the most northerly part of mainland UK. It's the most Northerly part of the island of Ireland & it's in the Republic.
🤣🤣🤣 clearly! Scotland is a wee bit more northern. Hint: The Episode is called ‘Top of Ireland’
