I travelled through holyhead years ago when i was going to England a place called the haven holiday park Norfolk to an elvis week holiday it was a great place to see also i went to the haven holiday park golden sands maplethorpe in England years ago to another elvis week holiday and maplethorpe England was really a beautiful place to stay stay and see
Friends of mine went to the parkdene holiday resort great Yarmouth in England in September 2022 gone out to an elvis festival week and they said that it was a fantastic time that they had there I'm hoping to go over there with them next year 2024
It's so exciting rolling off that ferry on a scooter. It's usually wet, I'm always nervous for the first few miles but once a few miles are clocked the adventure properly begins.
First time on it for over three years, it goes for weeks on end, until I decide to book it, had to go over on the Ulyesses and the last time both ways were cancelled as well.
I must say that I’m not a fan of the Dublin Swift as a SailRail Passenger in Manchester - I’d sooner sail from Liverpool Lime St (Liver Building) on the Ulysses, even though it does not currently sail from there nor to Dun Laoire, as with 2 trains, Manchester Piccadilly platform 13 via Chester to Holyhead is exhausting compared to Manchester Victoria to Holyhead direct - the River Liffey also needs to be properly dredged to allow ships to sail up the Liffey as far as the Custom House or O’ Connell Bridge, with the redesign of several existing bridges to allow them to raise for ferries - foot passenger only ferries (no cars/trucks, etc) need to be put on the route, given the lack of onward public transport travel options out of Dublin Port (North Wall), not even the LUAS or the DART and despite its proximity to the Port Tunnel & M50, as not even Bus Éireann is offering direct coach services as they are from Dublin Airport
The epsilon boat was so horrible when I went on it cuz it was so small inside it compared to the swift and Ulysses Im never going on the epsilon again😢
Did you get caught in that monster traffic jam on the A55 further along? it was around Colwyn Bay to Llanddulas area...I was on the same ferry as you were on this same day, I think I was a bit further behind your car, was parked on the left side of the lower centre part of the swift
There is a agreement between UK and Ireland , you don't need to show any passport, unless your not a citizen of the UK or Ireland then yes you need to, you do however need one for air transport. 😉
I did a write up , some people love music some don't, most of my video's have voice or music and some have audio. There's not much audio driving in a car onto any ferry. Thank you for your comments and I hope it didn't spoil it too much for you. Good luck.
Man, that is a tight squeeze. I drive an Aygo so I’d be alright but I wouldn’t want to be driving a Cayenne, XC40 or especially a van. If I wasn’t already put off Irish Ferries by them never having any cabins available when I want to travel then that parking set up sealed it. I’ll stick with Stena but thanks for uploading. Great video. Have a ‘like’ from me.
It's great seeing holyhead as it brings me back alot of good memories thank you
Good luck

It has its place,I often find its not going for no good reason though.

They have a TV area upstairs that's the best of it, when it's busy when a crossing gets cancelled it can be a tad cramped. Thanks for the comments, 🍾🍾

No checks last time
There's no sound on your video

Good travels John and thanks for your feedback 👍
The slower boats are not the best sailing times if you like driving during daylight hours
