Cycle Touring Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way - Bike Touring West Ireland: Part 2.
We continued cycle touring Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way, a 2,500km coastal road up the west coast of Ireland. This time, we were bike touring from Galway to Belfast, a journey that would take 11 days.
In this episode of the bike touring adventure, the British Isles cycle tour continues. In the last leg of our cycle tour through Ireland, we pedalled through relentless autumn storms towards Northern Ireland. the Irish hospitality we experienced continued to amaze us, and helped motivate us to keep cycling through the wind and rain.
2023 Update: These cycle touring videos were filmed back in 2021. As of 2023 Jill and I are no longer together and Jill is not affiliated with this channel in any way. Wishing her all the best for the future!

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?

@TieranFreedman Ай бұрын

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 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

@TieranFreedman Жыл бұрын

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!

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 😅

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!❤

I wonder how different this would be in America. Since you can't stop in random peoples houses in most of the country

@TieranFreedman Жыл бұрын

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.
