- Whose bright idea was it to try and climb Irelands highest mountain!? Our time on the ring of Kerry has been incredible! It’s absolutely beautiful, Ireland is full of hidden surprises and lush nature. Derrynane National Park was magical and full of fairies! The sweeping green roads, and stunning coastal paths brought us around the wild Atlantic way onto the ring of Kerry and up to Carauntoohill. The weather has truly blessed us so far on this trip and we are so so grateful for the time we are getting to enjoy the emerald isle.

⤈ WHO WE ARE ⤈
We are Philly and Keely and we live full time in our tiny home on wheels Martha. After building our DIY home in a Citroen Relay camper we spent a year living on the streets of London before quitting our jobs only to be met with lockdown. So after waiting for six months for the borders to reopen in Ireland we have finally hit the road in June 2021 and spent 90 days enjoying vanlife in Spain. Then we spent the next two months enjoying vanlife in Croatia before heading onto Serbia which stole our hearts. Now we have journeyed from there into Turkey where we are meeting lots of fellow vanlifers.

Two reasons I love watching international vanlifers: getting to see fascinating, off-the-beaten-path places, and learning useful new words like "glipe." 😆😆
Hot soup on a mountain top sounds brilliant! Nourishing, hydrating, *and* warming all at the same time -- yes, please!
Hiking was also a trudge for me -- until I discovered Nordic walking poles. It brings in using your upper body into locomotion. It's like walking in 4-wheel drive! Still a workout, but your legs do appreciate the help. ❤️❤️😎👍xx
He really is a glipe 🤣🤣🤣 and YES to hot soup appreciation. Thanks for the tip about poles Aaron 🥰
77 yr. old Bruce from Northern Canada;== as always, you two are a breath of fresh air.== Love Keely's honesty.== Flat land hiking is the best.== There is only now, enjoy.== Will you two later in time, put this in Doc form???
That's a cute idea. A big doco!! Thanks Bruce 💗💗💗
Carrauntoohil is the highest mountain in Ireland, but the most significant one, is Croagh Patrick, nicknamed ‘the Reek’, in County Mayo, overlooking Clew Bay. The more zealous climbers go barefoot,and before sunrise ! I kid you not !
Perhaps on our next Ireland tour we will have to hit this one up!! Not sure I will be able to brave the barefoot though 🤣🤣
Good evening
Love the adventure of keely face & caption
Have a great episode philly & keely
Thanks Charlene 🥰🥰
First climb I ever did, Mount Brandon, my friend pulled out a flask with hot soup and I was SO jealous……didn’t even know you could get flasks that small. 20years later I still have the flask I bought the following week. Hot soup is a necessity on the top of a mountain!!
Love this!!! Glad to hear more hot soup lovers out there!! Never done mount Brandon, may need to add this to our next wee Ireland trip!
We love you guys so much, Vicky is so like you Keeley with the hating hiking. We have literally never summited a mountain together because of it but I am hoping this video will give her some inspiration. Well done for doing the hike, you both totally smashed it 🧡🧡🧡
Oh and forgot to say, we are definitely hot soup and a roll (or cheese sandwich) type of people or will be if we ever get to the top of anything 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah have to say there were times I didn't know if would make it 🤣🤣🤣
Oh yes to the hot soup!! Woop woop
Yes, I love soup at the top! You should go to Zakopane in Poland and walk the two hour trail up to Morski Oko. That’s not even the top of a mountain but after two hours of walking in the cold, they sell delicious and hot borscht and apple pie as your reward☺️
Oooo that sounds good!
The landscape look so beautiful, i guest you can get amazing epic photos with that beautiful land
Yeah the land is very beautiful here, very green and luscious 🥰🥰
Piping hot homemade soup at the top of a mountain , no doubt Keely!
Yesss!!!
I feel like you should be able to sell your Irish soundbites to the Irish Tourism Board! hahahaha absolutely love seeing Ireland through your eyes and loving the commitment to travelling via map! X
🤣🤣🤣 don't think they would pay much lmao. Yeah we have really enjoyed the map only approach!!
Hot soup on top of the mountain is definitely a thing in Greece. In fact many refuges prepare fasolada (a tomato bean soup) for all the hikers. I'm with you on that one!!!
Oooo tomato bean soup at the top of a mountain sounds awesome!!
Fantastic vlog as usual. Keely, your achievement was amazing. I would have been crying and ordering a helicopter to take me down. Often the descent is more difficult, especially on the knees. You are both so relatable and likable and I love watching you. I Couldn't go without my SatNav as I'm on my own and stopping all the time to check where I am would drive me bonkers. Safe travels you lovely peeps x
Thanks Julie 🥰🥰 yeah descent was brutal cuz none of the achievement left, all just pain 🤣🤣 yeah would be much harder to do map only if you were solo for sure!!!
“Could of sent the drone up “ . Funny 😁 funny 😁 . All I’d want at the top would be a bottle of oxygen . Just think of the shape you’d be in if you did this twice a month . Beautiful view .
😂😂😂 bottle of oxygen
Love you guys, you're so funny and entertaining...
Thankyou
Steve & Ang x
Thanks guys, we really appreciate that 💗💗💗
We visited Ireland for our Honeymoon. We definitely need to return! As far as what we eat at the end of a hike: we both agree hot soup on a hike in cooler weather sounds fantastic and can’t believe we’ve never thought of it. We live in the Pacific NW of the US and have very similar weather to Ireland. We typically have homemade granola/nuts/dark chocolate trail mix and pb&j’s, but think we’ll bring soup next time.
Awww lovely, where did you go on your honeymoon? We had our honeymoon in Galway in Ireland. So glad you are going to try some soup on the mountain next time!!! PB&J sounds like perfect hike food too!! 🤤🤤
Fairies do exist in secret gardens like that!! ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Ireland looks so vibrant, lush and green! We want to head that (your?) way later on this year, so we will be looking for tips ♥️
Also, well done for climbing that mountain! The views were surely worth all that effort (and getting lost on the way back down 😜!)
It is super beautiful!! It's mostly great for vanlife, but be aware, it's IMPOSSIBLE to find bins here. We've had to drive around with rubbish bags for days at a time lol. Any tips/recommendations just ask 🥰🥰🥰
The two of you are inspirational
🤣🤣 I'm not sure I feel very inspiring haha. But thankyou 🥰🥰🥰
You have so much fun guy's and so do I watching you! Always great editing 👌 🙏👊
Thanks so much Paul, that means a lot 🥰🥰
Awesome video. You 're so entertaingly natural! And oh, for me a big no to such a climb, I wouldn't call it a hike, more sth like a torture... And then no soup on the top poor Keelly!!!
🤣🤣🤣 torture sounds like a better descriptive word for that ahhahaa
Never heard of hot soup on a hike....but I think it's a brilliant idea!
You will have to try it next time!! It just feels so good to have something hot and yum at the top, especially on cold Irish mountains lol.
I agree, hot soup at the top when you're hiking! Congratulations on getting to the top and back down again. X
Yes Stella!! Glad to hear someone else agree about the soup 💗💗 what's your soup of preference!?
Homemade lentil, or pea and ham, or basically whatever my last batch happens to be! X
Sounds good!
Well that was some hike you two, with some gorgeous views which made it all worthwhile, from my point of view. If only I was forty years younger I would give it a go. Another fun and well filmed video. Many thanks.
Thanks Ian!! The views were beautiful weren't they!!
You're definitely selling Ireland to me. It's on my to do list.
Regarding suitable drinks on the top of a hill/mountain. When I last did any sort of hiking, me and my mate used to celebrate with a bottle of Fosters ice 😂. No matter what time we got to the summit.
Used to get frowns and head shaking from other people but that's how I used to roll 👍🏻😁
🤣🤣🤣 fosters ice!! Quality! Definitely explore Ireland, it's great in the van!! 🥰🥰🥰 Next time bring soup alongside the fosters lol, I'll convert you haha
@@phillyandkeely You've already started with the avacado on toast 😂
🤣🤣🤣
LOL!! Great video - I felt like I was on the hike too!! glad I didn't have to put the effort in tho - I'm with Keely on that one - send the drone up!!
🤣🤣🤣 yeah drone all the way lmao! Thanks so much for watching 🥰🥰🥰
Well done. Brilliant achievement 👏 👌 👍
Thanks Denise 🥰🥰🥰
I was waiting to see if you got lost on that ridge on the way back down, I did the exact same thing a few years ago. 🤣🤣 Great video guys, you always make me laugh!
🤣🤣 ok glad we aren't the only ones who went the ridge haha. So glad we made you laugh 🥰🥰🥰 thanks for watching 💗
We got a mouth full of flies when we got to the top of Slemish NI x
Glad we didn't get that 🤣🤣 that sounds gross lol
Subscribed ! :)
I love to see Ireland
praying for it.
Thankyou Jin 💗💗💗
Love you guys. You're so entertaining to watch.
Aww thanks, glad you find us entertaining 🥰🥰 that means alot
I recently just found you guys as well! Let me tell you I just love how real y’all are & just down to earth! I envy what you guys are doing! I’ve traveled all over the United States & to a cpl different countries but I ultimately would love to like renovate my own bus & just go!!! Y’all are so funny!!! I recently subscribed cuz I love getting notified about your new videos!!! You guys are so sweet!! Happy travels!!! From Chicago!!
Aww thankyou so much for all those kind words 💓💓 hope some day you get your dream to set off and go again!! We would love to travel America, Chicago would be awesome. Try and find ourselves some vegan deep dish lol!!
Amazing, well done. I walked up ben nevis but not as steep as your hike. And I was in my early 50's. PS. I love to talk too!
Oh wow Ben Nevis impressive!! Thanks Linda 💗💗💗
Hey guys I recently found your channel and I’m really enjoying it. You are both absolutely hysterical and so sweet together! Well done climbing to the tippy top of Ireland and taking us along with you, that is quite an achievement and the views were breathtaking. Anyway hi from New York and have a blast on your trip! 🤍✌🏼
Thanks Denise!! 🥰🥰 Happy to have you watching all the way from New York 💗💗 it felt like quite an achievement I have to say 🤣🤣 it was defo a struggle
You two are ace. Such fun to join your adventures. I'm a bit middle aged but still have my van(s) and just waiting for the last of the kids to finish school so I can go further afield again. I love that feeling of venturing up a mountain slight hysteria setting in as your muscles burn and you wonder if you've bitten off a bit more than you intended.
Thanks for your content, so glad I came across it.
Stay safe.
Can I ask what drone you use. Looks really versatile.
Thanks Nick 🥰🥰 glad to have you along!! Definitely was hysteria when I started to get proper pain hahaha! We use DJI mini 2, we love it!! It's small so we don't need a proper licence. But because we love it so much I'm not allowed to fly it in risky situations, I keep wanting to fly it through small holes and windows for fun, but Philly is too afraid I will crash it haha. Maybe need to get a crap one for stunt shots lmao
I am catching up on all your video clips an it So weird watching you guys in Derrynane my home town for 40 years ❤️🥲👵🏼 now living in Kenmare so not to far. ❤️❤️🚐🚐 I go there now with my Van Alice
Awww that's so cool! Derrynane is so beautiful!!! What type of van is Alice?
@@phillyandkeely it’s a Fiat Ducato. Self Build Learning a lot and take it step by step with the overnight wild camping. ( on my own and started at 67) Only have been at places I know and feel comfortable with
So it’s great to see you guys and keep us all entertained❤️❤️👵🏻👵🏻🚐🚐😘😘
That's awesome! Keep it up Marianne 🥰🥰
The Fae are as real as you believe, Philly.
I will slowly convince him haha 🥰🥰🥰
I would say give her six tickets and she can use them for either whining or snacks, her choice. LoL 😂 Awesome job you two. Hot soup sounds perfect. 😊
🤣🤣🤣 now that's a good idea, will remember that for next time! Hot soup is awesome! Especially if you have a piece of buttered bread with it!
Proud of you Keely!!!! (you hike exactly like I do! hahaha....Every step feels like the LAST ima take ).
For me, its PB&J at the top.
What absolutely beautiful views!!!!
Oooo PB&J sounds good!! Think I might need to add that to my top of the mountain snack regime!! Thanks Kathi 🥰
Well done on completing the mountain hike I love watching your vlogs xx
Thanks so much Pam ❤️
That was fantastic go you two🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 what an achievement!
Thankyou 🥰💪⛰️
I always thought croagh Patrick was Irelands highest mountain. Forced to climb it as a child……. barefoot 😵
Barefoot!!! I remember climbing a mountain in fanore barefoot 🤣 crazy things we do. Was your forced excursion some sort of pilgrimage? I think the one in fanore was.
Wow I had no idea Ireland had such beautiful landscapes, ir reminds me of the North of Scotland. I need to plan a trip to these parts of Ireland!
Yeah so beautiful down there!
I love your videos! This was no exception! Cute fairy houses! X
Awww thanks so much Stella 🥰🥰 weren't they so cute!!!
Definitely soup and butterd batch bread 🍞
Great upload as usual 👌
Thanks Martin 🥰🥰
Good effort you two 👍💙❤️
Thanks!! 💪💪 Defo was effort lmao
Way to go both of you!! Keely you’re such a trooper! I agree that hot soup at the top of a mountain sounds delicious!! You are both just delightful! Hope you haven’t a good week from Southern California
🌴🐾🐾 🐢🐢
Thanks Carina 🥰🥰 Hot soup is awesome for top of mountain 💗💗 thanks for your kind words from California 🙏💗 have an awesome week ✌️
Perfect a video
💗💗💗
Grand vlog guys, really enjoyed it. You do make excellent vlogs. Keep doing what you're doing 👌. 👋
That's so nice of you to say thankyou Geoff 🥰🥰🥰
Ur in Ireland Philly fairies do exist😊❤❤❤
Yessss
Wow!! Stunning video! Good for you for making it all that way 😊. Dom eats avo sandwiches or oats and I eat peanut butter sandwiches or muffins with fruit! Hot soup would he so heavy to carry 😂!
Thanks Alysha 🥰 Oats!?!? That's punishment not reward 🤣🤣🤣 Try hot soup on a cold day, you will be converted!!
Loved that ye made it up the mountain great job
Thanks Annie 💪💪
Wonderful vlog. Well done Keely, massive achievement climbing up there. Lovely to see you both enjoying exploring your homeland. Fairy woods looked amazing. Brilliant as always. Safe travels both X
Thanks Asa 🥰🥰🥰 yeah been nice exploring our own backyard for once!!
What did yall two work as before full time traveling?
New to your channel, absolutely love it. I absolutely adore both accents.
Hey Molly 💗💗 glad you found our channel 🥰 I was an ALevel math teacher in East London, still do it a bit, but for an online school only once a week. Philly is a musician, he did landscaping on the side while doing his degree and masters in music production. 🥰🥰 Thanks so much for asking
Fajni jesteście!
dziękuję to bardzo miłe
Come to Canada , we have trams to the top of our mountains
🤣🤣 sounds like my type of country ahha. We spent a month in Vancouver a couple years ago, it was soooo beautiful there. Where is your favourite spot in Canada? We would love to come explore more some day 💗💗
Congratulations Mountaineers! Love your videos...take care, James
Thanks James!! Not sure we can call ourselves Mountaineers, but I'm gonna take it 🤣🤣 we did it after all I suppose!! Begrudgingly lol.
Oh Keely, I feel for you - I would definitely be complaining way more than you did 😂But you made it - well done 👍🏻Stunning scenery though 😍
Thanks Bridget 🥰🥰🥰 yeah was so beautiful!!
Wow thanks for sharing guys. Epic views enjoy the rest of our lovely island
Such a lovely island isn't it!!! So so beautiful here 💗💗
What a brilliant episode guys! Ireland is hard to beat on natural beauty. I could see you both living in a happy hippy yurt you know.
Thanks Dianne 🥰🥰 yes it's so full of natural beauty. We could happily live in a yurt on a piece of land some day!!!
Thanks for sharing this , I loved the fairy houses too, and the close line Omg too cute , love watching you guys , cheers from Australia
Thanks Debz 🥰🥰🥰 yeah the wee houses were so cute weren't they!! Glad to have you watching all the way from Oz!
Wow! Totally amazing - such a beautiful country- thanks so much for sharing! 💚🍀💚
Thanks Raven 🥰🥰 yeah it's been so beautiful here, blessed with good weather too. Thanks so much for watching 💗💗
@@phillyandkeely My daughter and i spent 2 weeks in Ireland 3 years ago- we found a different park each day and explored it - it was magical and i look forward to returning- we also "glamped" in Inis Moir for 2 nights and absolutely loved the Aran Island. Wishing you much joy in your adventures 💚🍀💚
@@ravenbrown7053 we would love to check out Aran island, it's top of our itenerary for our next trip in Ireland!!
Epic shots up there. Good job getting it done! Animals are the best.
Animals really are the best aren't they!!! Glad I did it! Didn't anticipate it being just as hard on the way down 🤣🤣 only with none of the payoff of on the way up haha.
Loved this video. So beautiful. I wish that I could do that hike. You are stronger than you think! 💪👏👏👏💪💪 I am hoping for more beautiful scenery from Ireland! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Carol 💗💗 Next week's video features what we think is the most beautiful place in Ireland 😍😍 I mean we have a lot more to see on our next trip home but its the most beautiful spot we've been to so far 💗💗
Hi ya what goes up must come down 🤩🤩I can feel the pain but it was an awesome 😎 view at the top take care stay safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I honestly couldn't walk for like five days after 🤣🤣🤣 thanks Barry 🥰🥰
17:36 Irish on Irish violence!
🤣🤣🤣 I was defo ready to box him haha
Well done you two, its one of my hubbies favourite hikes, yes he is one of the crazy people who enjoy this kind of stuff regularly. Super proud of ye,it is not a easy climb( i'm told). Thanks for a great video showing our beautiful homeland. Must keep a eye out for yer van if ye head our way. Weather not meant to be good tomorrow, thunder showers etc,so stay safe. It will puck up again. Red moon tonight at 2.30am watch out for it.
Thanks Lorraine 💗💗💗 that's cool to know about the red moon!! I will set my alarm, but there is a good chance my sleepy self will turn off the alarm 🤣🤣🤣
@@phillyandkeely ha ha i aint even putting on the alarm . Ye did yourselves proud, i wouldnt have made that climb.
Fair play to you both I went up there many years ago on a day with driving rain 🌧 at the top someone got out a bottle of position I checked I did get a mobile phone signal at the top and did contemplate calling for a helicopter to bring me down . Coming down in the rain was worse than going up pretty sure we came down the wrong route . But we’ll done you .
Thanks Ian!! Yeah it's brutal isn't it!! I can understand why people need rescued from it at time, the "devils ladders" section of it was scary to climb back down.
I love how much you to are madly love ❤️ 😍 you know this no phone melarky does that mean no pokemon go 😱
🤣🥰 no Pokémon Go indeed 💔 it didn't last very long though lol. I really think we need to control our phone consumption so much more!
We would eat anything that didn't talk back to us🥰💢💥
💯
Hiya 👋 found your channel as we are planning a move to Ireland soon and will be living in our motorhome. We don't tend to climb to the top of too many mountains but if we did we probably wouldn't take hot soup 😆 We'll enjoy catching up on your content 😊
P.s. fairies do exist 😝
Yessss fairies do exist!! Love that 😜 if you are moving to Ireland I'm telling you you will start to drink hot soup more because it's usually so cold and soggy, so soup with buttered bread is the perfect cozy food! Hope you love Ireland in your motorhome 🥰
@@phillyandkeely Surely Croutons now after your extensive European Grand Tour
Not sure I'm fancy enough for croutons 🤣🤣 I'm more likely to have a squashed piece of white bread lmao
@@phillyandkeely thank youuuu 🥰
a fat spliff at the top
Not sure I would have made it back down after that 🤣🤣 I'm pretty sure the other people at the top were having one though lol
What do I have at the top of a mountain? Usually some sort of coronary episode.
🤣🤣🤣 sounds about right, they are bloody tough. Very nervous for upcoming Ben Nevis hike
@@phillyandkeely If you did that hill, you can do Ben Nevis. It's not technically difficult on the main path, just another 300m taller. Equates to about another sandwich and an Irn Bru! 😂
I did it at this time of year too. Heatwave at the base; snow on top! 🥵🥶
@ewanstevenson will have to get an IrnBru as our secret weapon then haha
You ever had trouble getting the drone “home” to land?
Numerous times 🤣🤣had a few heart palpitations for sure!
@@phillyandkeely I can imagine, but it is cool to see you loving the drone
Random stuff… 🙃
🤣😜
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road. We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!
Thanks for thinking of us, but we are currently don't think we need a light bar. Maybe some time in the future 🥰
Random stuff comment
Thanks John 🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰
@@phillyandkeely another dose of help headed your way today.
You are soooo kind to us. It really means so much 💗💗💗
