It was absolutely beautiful Miriam Croagh Patrick the beaches and the sunset and the little stops along the way. Fair play to you do a superb job filming our beautiful Ireland. Thank u

yes, I enjoyed your adventure from the far, thx a lot for sharing. Have a nice time!

Hi Miriam. Was introduced to your KZfaq vlog by Mark Harris of Wild Camping Ireland fame. Really enjoy this particular vlog of yours, because I'm primarily a bikepacker - only recently did a backpacking trip with Mark, last weekend. Also, the route featured in this video of yours was of particular interest, as I did a 4-day bikepacking trip from Westport to Sligo - train from and to Dublin (don't/can't drive) - last August. It was the 2nd camping trip by bike (which featured the MSR Hubba Hubba), so a vlog of it wouldn't have resulted in being as visually fuild and holistic as yours! In fact I ran out of stamina around midpoint of the tour, at Bangor Erris, and decided to forgo the coastal trip up to Belmullet and the Cead Fields, by opting to cycle the N59 over to Sligo. It was a nightmare (in the day), especially where there wasn't any hard-shoulder to distance myself from the 100 kph traffic barrelling past! Anyway, I eventually managed to find a quiet spot to pitch my tent for the night on the coast at Streamstown, Co. Sligo. So yeah, your Brompton setup surely stirred up that eventful memory, and may even prompt me to consider switching to a folding bikepacking setup. Nice one Miriam👍🏼

Beautiful shots with the drone!

Brilliant video, loved the intro, love that part of Ireland although all of the west of Ireland from Donegal to Kerry is amazing, your camp locations looked great, your video makes me want to go bike packing now minus the midges

A delightful little adventure Miriam , you can’t really go wrong in Connemara, and you even got the sun to shine . Bonus !! I know the area reasonably well but must say the posh tarts bike certainly opens up a lot of wild camping possibilities, that little beach at the end with the white sands and gorgeous turquoise sea was like a scene from Maldives. The waterfall looked amazing as well , it all looked super and was put together in a very nice story book style , time I think to borrow the brothers posh bloke bike me thinks . Loved this one 😁👍🏻👌🏻

Thanks for sharing your adventure. Epic drone footage!

Dear Miriam, you and Suzanna are just wonderful. Such happiness on a Brompton. It is not a race, it is contemplation. Can’t wait for the snow to go away so I can start roaming. Cheers!

Hello Miriam, I am not sure how I missed this video, sorry. again lovely route. I must admit I am drawn to places near water. Top tip on checking where is safe to park for a few days, I will consider that when I am out adventuring. Take care. Paul,,

Lovely 🎥 safe travels 🇨🇦👋

Another lovely video, Miriam, thank you. I am now kicking myself. A few years ago, I spent some days cycling in Donegal before moving on to Clare and now realise what I missed. Having been, once again, charmed by your film, I will put that right. You have an eye, not just for gorgeous scenery but for filming it in a way to bring out it's beauty. Thank you again.

That was so great, Miriam. Great job flying the drone in that wind, too. Wonderful stuff, thank you. 🙂🚴‍♂️👍🏕️

What a place. Once again I regret not taking a company move to Ireland in the late 90's. Such a beautiful country. You have the gift of making a great video but the scenery does help, just a little! I think the shots from the drone really help get a feel of 'place'. I'm blessed to live where I do but would love to have such a landscape. A friend has a Dji mini drone and I'm very impressed with how well it copes in strong winds and the picture quality from such a small package. Thanks again for a pleasant 20 minutes watching.

Hi Miriam, Wonderful to see you are back on the west coast. I spend a lot of time exploring the lands between Westport and Clifden. I was always pulled to the beauty of the mountain ranges. I was working in Galway in 2000 and as the nature of my job I was always on the road working and fixing air cons. This provided me with a lot of time after work to explore the west coast. I cycled in 1997 from Knock to Ballina down the west coast to Adare (Limerick). 3 years later I moved to Ireland. I was down on Achill Island the Bank holiday weekend for the annual IHPA fly in, when you cycled. I had the fun to hike 5 times with 5 wonderful flights from Minauwn and Slievemore. We had exceptional fine weather but the occasional strong wind during the day. The evening flights where incredible and very magnificent. Well done! Another great video. Uli 😀

I simply loved this video. Actually, I love all your videos! Just spent the last 3hrs in bed binge watching and rewatching a few!! So much to enjoy. Love how you take the time to tell us a little about where you are and what you enjoy. You're right, beautiful scenery in every direction. Ireland IS picturesque. I guess having an 'almost permanent sprinkler in the form of rain explain the green and luscious land. Was it in this video you said 'Ireland had a hidden secret?'. Well, I guess you're right, I loved that part of your ride was in glorious sunshine!! That sunset over the Atlantic is to die for. That beach you paddled in looked really inviting. Your love of graveyards made me laugh out loud. I have an Irish friend who, like you, LOVE graveyards. She 'once' invited me to spend a day in one but I said I quite like hanging out with the living! We're still friends.😂 What a scrumptious mouth watering portion of chips! My, it's so good to be able to bring up your videos in conversation on hiking trips. I recommend because they really showcase some great places in Ireland for those interested in bikepacking, climbing and or hiking there. I think your solo adventures are fast becoming part of my regular viewing on KZfaq. ps, if I ever come to Ireland again, I'm coming to look for you just to stand with you in a photo!

Bet that fish supper was just heavenly! All those beautiful lakes and waterways, a treat to see. thankyou.

Miriam, what a treat watching your travels plus camping and your wonder Brompton Bicycle thank you.

Such great videos, Miriam. They're inspiring, soulful and relaxing. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

Start with an ice cream and finish with a scone. Perfect that first pitch was amazing.

Loved your video. From watching your vids last year, you have inspired me to take a cycle trip to the Arran Islands with my son in 2 weeks time. That Brompton is a great bike. Keep up the good work with the vids

Fantastic scenery. Really enjoyed sharing this trip with you. Thank you😀

The wonderful West of Ireland...Sawdoctors country! Enjoyed the video very much 👌 Thanks for sharing. Cheers Alistair 👍

Oh great!! Another fab video from Miriam about her Brompton adventures! I explored this area of Ireland years ago. It’s inspiring scenery even when wet. I always find your work interesting and find my self wanting to take my Brompton on an adventure too. Keep up the good work.

Hi my name is Israel and i love y your trips in your brompton you are an inspiration for me, to look for adventures. I don't have a brompton but I want one with all my might. I am a doctor here in my country and things are not easy at all but thanks to your videos I do not abandon my dreams of traveling in a Brompton and camping next to a lake, thanks

Think iv just found my new box set viewing 😀

I really enjoyed your video, it brought back many happy memories. As a young man 40 years ago I walked, climbed and cycled through most of this area, even travelled most of your route at one time or another. Sadly my health no longer permits me to do such things. Enjoy it while you can.

Wow wow wow, that's really a great one. And graveyards? Oh yes, love em-I go walking up and down reading all the birth dates and departure dates...a person could really rest in *peace* alongside one of those lakes! Thanks, what a dream!

Beautiful.

Brilliant yet again !

I love graveyards too! Lovely Ireland.

Lovely, thank you!

Beautiful footage of an amazing looking adventure thank you for sharing Miriam 🙂

Love! An easy breezy travelogue of a beautiful part of Ireland. Thank you!

I really love your videos, Miriam! Thank you!

Beautiful footage 👍

Thanks for show us a beautiful part of the world

I did the same route in September as part of a longer loop around the west coast. The section from Louisburgh down to Clifden was probably my favourite part of the whole trip- really enjoyable riding and superb views 🙂

Loved it. Gorgeous video.

Awesome! Cheers for more exciting rides! 🥂❤️✨

Well done in a great video story told simply, it really took me there and reminds us how great Ireland is for those of us that take the time to explore. Love your story’s keep it up

Wow ! Amazing trip. What a views... :) Another lovely film :)

Beautiful shooting and equally amazing scenery 👌

Really enjoyed this video. Beautifully made. Thanks

Folding bike, camping gear, and a drone with a view of Ireland...an amazing video 😀

Nice to see this new ‘Brompton bike trip’ upload. Must have been a great trip Miriam. Enjoyed it very much, thanks.

Great adventure! A very warm and honest account. I've never been to Ireland, but it looks great from your videos. I would love to ride my bike there. You are doing a great job with these documentaries of your travels. This is very inspiring.

Great wee vid, glad you got the weather. Love that area, many happy memories of camping and fishing there. Thanks

You mentioned you didn’t know what kind of video this would be, turns out it was an Awesome video :) ! Continually speechless at your environment, my goodness! You’ve inspired me to get out next week to hit the road before schools are finished and the world becomes unmanageable with people. Thank you for this, so well done again!

Very nice video Miriam. Lovely scenery and great the way you edited it all together too. It gave the sense of the sequence of beautiful scenes encountered along your journey.

Another rough day in connemara ...I love it.That really brought me back to my own years living in Galway and used to go to some of these places on my motorbike I had at the time.A real gem of a county, and another cracking video Miriam. 👌

This is such a peaceful, calming video. Plus I think you've convinced me to get a Brompton!

Another awesome video 👍👍👍👍👍

Your Brompton is racking up the miles. You got some stunning weather for the journey, I'm delighted that you decided to bring the camera along. It was a great watch as always 👍

A wonderful and inspiring video Miriam! I’ve driven through this area but oh my word…. cycling opens up so much more of the scenery- spectacular! Thank you for sharing!!

Thank you, Miriam. Another wonderful and beautiful video. That route is spectacular and the two magical sunsets that you had made it even more special. Happy outdoors. Enjoy! Johnny

Another great adventure Miriam, well done, I absolutely love that part of the country. I'm currently lying in my tent on Achill Island watching your video 😁, I'm also tempted to drive back thru the Doo Lough Valley, its a stunning place. Thanks for showing us another part of our great little country!

What a gorgeous video diary of your adventures Mirium. I feel inspired to go wild camping myself sometime soon. Well done to you and keep it up I really enjoyed that. 🙏👍

Absolutely wonderful Miriam, I’d call that Paradise, thanks , with the lovely gentle energy you have about you it’s a real pleasure to watch your journeys....I’m a lover of old graveyards myself 😁 , and a lover of fish n chips . Thanks again 🥰🤙

Fantastically captured trail, drone shots and overall composition are just outstanding. 😊😊👌👌👌

Fabulous weather and extraordinary footage. Connemara is literally food for the soul. Mweelrea is a great hike via the Ramp. The Sheffrey Pass is also amazing. Foher famine village is situated on the south bank of Killary Fjord. The scenery and location will literally leave anyone speechless. The cemetery is located on the Rosroe Pier side. It houses numerous famine victims as well as a separate plot for the former landlords. Keep up the great work.

Great video again miriam great to see people out enjoying the beauty this island has to offer really enjoy watching this best of luck for the future 😀

Wow, oh wow Miriam, you show me my own area in places I have not been. Love your fab videos.

Great stuff Miriam 👍

Wow, well worth the wait, that was so so good especially the chips 😃 what a sunset you captured again!!!! well done on another brilliant film really enjoyed thank you as always and safe travels, looking forward to your next adventure

Your drone footage of the scenery is amazing👍🏻👍🏻😃

Fantastic video 👌

Nice video Beaches were great as was the sunset, you are using your holidays well Keep em coming

What can i say Miriam! Everyone has said it for me, really lovely and on your brompton too, Enjoyed it loads x

Wow! That's a beautiful part of Ireland. Thanks for sharing. New friends here from Scotland 👍

Great video! Would love to see a video about everything you take with you on one of these trips!

Beautiful place indeed! I like how you made the "highlights" intro and then the more detailed video.

To answer your question. Yes. Yes I did enjoy your video immensely!

Miriam, a beautiful whistle stop tour through the amazing landscape of Connemara and Galway before the nitty gritty👍😊 That must have been really cool cycling into Doo Lough Valley🚴‍♀️ and to have had that camp beside the lough in mind. A stunning evening☀️ to be on the lower ground between those mountains. The fish and chips, scone and the ice cream looked cool😊 Always great to camp near to the beach and to have a beautiful sunset thrown in☀️👍 Looked like a fantastic adventure with so much to experience with the versatility of the bike packing.

If Miriam is uploading a video, Yess than my day is perfect 👍

After Australia I’m coming wild camping to Ireland. Another outstanding video Miriam ☮️

What an amazing camping spot and that weather cast drives me mad, especially when they talk about a 'long range forecast' - they cannot even get the next day right! Loved Aasleagh Falls and some superb drone footage. Fish n Chips sounded the business mind, as did the beach. I love old graveyards and old churches and also sunsets/rises, you sure were spoilt there - gorgeous views! Shame about the bugs but I could put up with them for a visit to that beach, white sands and crystal clear waters, my idea of heaven. Must admit, ever time we have been to Ireland, it did not rain, it absolutely poured lol! Cheers Alan

Looked like a fantastic trip. I loved that you split it over 3 days, I'd say this made for a very relaxed pace and plenty of time to enjoy the amazing scenery. It's hard to beat the West when the weather is good (unless you are in Donegal 😉). I know you said there was no plan but I liked the mix of drone, scenery and POV shots. Worked well 👌 Massively impressed by your 2nd campsite. What an amazing sunset 😱

Greetings Miriam.. Your videos are very nice. Thank you for showing those beautiful Irish lands. I like your enthusiasm and your beautiful smile. I'm also preparing a folding bike trip and I like your style.. Greetings from Panama City.. I signed up for your channel.. A hug, friend.. 👍👍

Love your vids💚. Excellent as always.👏 Fantastic scenery and I'm honestly trying to study your film making skills.😃

Read your post this morning; about getting Dervla's book, and about doing something special for your..ahem..twenty first birthday 😉 next summer; and this lovely vidio popped up on my feed. It was such a beautiful vidio, with so many aesthetically pleasing sights..yet strangely the thing that I found myself thinking at the end of it was..Miriam, I hope you didnt eat all of those chips? 🤣..I'm teasing..So very glad to have come across your posts, you are truly inspiring me to get my backside outside and camp again. I love the English lake district, but it became too "busy" with processions of folk winding their way up the mountains..They've just as much right to be there as I, I'm not complaining; but I got "bored" at the lack of tranquility..But if it's a little "busy" then still better than nothing..So dusting off my old camping gear (til some new kit arrives)..thanks to you and your inspiration..You're so lucky living in Ireland..I'm not jealous 😤 haha..its been 25years since I was last there..sigh! It would be fantastic to see you do something like the Wild Atlantic Way..As most of my times in Ireland were spent along the north west (Between and including, Donegal to the Dingle peninsula) So it would be so lovely to see you cycle in places that I've been myself! Keep dreaming, and then living those dreams Miriam.🤩

Really enjoyed that Miriam , you showed us some beautiful parts of your island for sure . The weather looked fairly kind to you which always helps , but yes the season of the midge is back 😂 Tfs atb Dave 🚲⛺️👍

There seems little rhyme or reason to anything at present so your video is perfect! I cannot thank you enough for sharing your adventures. Inspiring and full of wonder x

Hi Miriam, really enjoyed your video once again. I can see you have many many views and deserved comments so seriously well done.. I just enjoyed watching it all pieced it together step by step.. Thank you for making the effort to film and edit... Tom

Brilliant Miriam. Your making we want to cycle more. Hummm. You got me thinking now. Love the shot at 5min walking on the beach. You have a video Sheefry. Lovely area. Need to do that. Excellent video as always Miriam. May do a bike camp soon. You got me thinking. By the way, great camping spots. Very jealous.

Wonderful adventure and so enjoyable my friend🤍 be safe

Thanks for taking the time to Vlog your trip, stunning part of the world, Love Clifden, a little piece of France in Ireland :) When you get the chance, go north from Westport past Newport and up to Achill , you will pass one of the prettiest and spookiest cemeteries in Ireland Burrishoole Abbey

Beautiful work again Miriam 🙌🥳❤️

Looked like a great trip Miriam, some of those beaches where stunning. Have to admit, there is something relaxing about dandering around an old graveyard, made me think back to when I was a kid trying to find the oldest headstone I could. Thanks for taking us along on another great adventure!

Lovely latest adventure Miriam, some distance covered on the bike, and no rain again👍🏻🤣, beautiful location and great work with the drone 👌, I remember sitting in Sweeneys, having a few pints, don't remember leaving 🤣, great work as always Miriam

Lovely trip Miriam . You clicked up some mileage. Fab beaches . Cheers👍

Lovely video, thank you. You do capture the beautiful scenery so well. I think I’ll have to plan a motorbike tour of some of the areas you’ve shown and maybe hire a bicycle for a few days too. Sadly I doubt I’d fit my brommie on the back of the motorbike, not with a fortnights luggage too!

Good job.

Another very good video Miriam. The weather gods were good to you. Omey island has an interesting graveyard also, you have probably paid a visit to it. Take care.👍

沿途景色真漂亮。

so so nice and cozy video ! New subscriber here from Romania ! Ireland looks really nice ! Looking forward to the next video :D ! Cheers !

Great video as always. I would wash down the brommie after the sand at the beaches… spray oil inside the frame tube… steel frame will rust very quick otherwise. I will defo do this trip, have Brompton too but lack the courage to get up and go!!

Wonderful video, have to say, that’s a proper portion of proper chips 😛😛😛

Hope I can experience that place one day

So jealous Miriam, one of my favorite places is around Doolough and Killary. That light on Doolough beautiful. My brother was west in is camper past week and said the sunsets where some of the best he has seen.

Thanks so much Miriam for sharing glimpses of your 🚲 tour. L555 586 (!) could be somewhere along the coast here! ...I’m slowly watching all your videos & becoming acquainted with Ireland’s beautiful landscape, with the help of google earth 🧐 You have a delightful yt community supporting you 😀 Winter has most definitely arrived here. Yesterday the BOM’s app, for the first time I’m aware of, uploaded a Sheep Graziers warning - a bit odd for a Sydneysider to read 😯😆... ☮️💟
