Thank you so much. It is a lovely place and we need to go back to explore more of it.

Yeah, it’s certainly worth a visit to see the stalactite, but the 120 stairs down and back up aren’t much fun 🤣

Oh cricky, 120 steps down…….and 120 back up. No, at 72 years old I send the youngsters down and get them to take photos and tag me 😂😂

@@thematlockbiker that might be a wise idea! Going down wasn’t bad, but coming back up was a bit of a slog for sure 👍

Wow, I didn’t know that, thank you for that bit of information. 🙏👍

Yes, I agree with you entirely. Having to spend a couple of days in Glasgow limited our time a bit, but we will definitely be back to do the northern section. 😁

Hi Dave, thank you for your comment. There is on-road parking directly outside the hotel and we managed to get a space almost directly outside even though it was a busy Saturday afternoon. The hotel is on a one way system so you may have to go around a couple of times to find a space. The parking is free and our bikes seemed safe enough. The hotel itself is nothing special, but is clean and the breakfast is good. I hope you have a great trip 😁. Cheers, Mark.

@GreyBiker99 many thanks for taking the time to reply, appreciate your time. Dave.

Thank you 🙏

Thank you! 🙏 It was our first visit to Ireland but it certainly won’t be our last.

Thank you so much for your comment. Hope you had a great time!

Thank you 🙏. It’s a pity we didn’t have long to explore around that area as it did seem very nice and worth another visit.

the quiet man was mostly made in Cong not westport

​@@richardcray2919 yes I know 👍

Thank you so much. I’m very jealous of your trip to the Alps, but I’m hoping to get there next year. I enjoyed your Scotland vids so I look forward to the ones from the Alps 😁

Thank you so much. We want to go back at some point to do the more northern part too. We loved the areas we did, but didn’t have long enough to explore properly. The more touristy areas can be busy but May was a good time to go. I hope you are as lucky with the weather as we were.

It was our first visit to Ireland and we were bowled over by the scenery and the warmth of the people. We will definitely go back to explore more. Fingers crossed for the weather for you!

I’m from Larne the ferry port that you arrived at in Northen Ireland. If you had after the first half mile turned off the duel carriage way into Larne town it goes to a roundabout that takes you onto the A2 Coast Road which is regulars as one of the best bikers roads in the world! Very popular now as well as the Game of Thrones was filmed at multiple locations a long its route. In addition if you are into Road Racing it takes you to the world famous NW200 road track at Portrush. Sorry bit of a rant but lots of bikers appear to miss one of the most scenic riding road. But hey I ride it most weeks and I’m biased. Your trip looked fantastic and I hope it’s not long before you guys are back!

Thank you for you comment, it’s really appreciated! I’ll take your tip about the beer onboard the next time we visit Ireland. You have to bear in mind though, that my normal drink is real ale, which is invariably brown, warm and sometimes tastes like sh.. 🤣

Thank you so much, that is really appreciated.

Thank you so much. I hope you have a great time. We didn’t do the Ring of Kerry due to time constraints, but loved the Beara and Sheep Head peninsula’s as they were much quieter. Avoid the Gap of Dunloe at the weekend as we found out which will appear in a later episode. I just need to get quicker at editing 😆.

Thank you so much Adi, really appreciate it. I’m really new to all this video stuff, so it’s great to hear you liked the video. I just need to get quicker at editing them 😂. The WAW is a great route to do so if you get the chance, you won’t regret it.

Thank you so much for your comment. I’m very new to this so trying to find my feet with it all. I’ll take on board what you’ve said about the music too. I did try to find some Irish music but there didn’t seem to be much of it available copyright free. I’ll keep on looking 😁

We were very lucky indeed with the weather. We had a bit of a damp start in the next episode, but after that we managed to stay dry, which was a huge surprise 😂. I hope the weather gods smile on you and your son, as it really is quite stunning the further south you get.

Thank you so much for the comment. As I’m new to KZfaq it means a lot. The mic I use is the DJI Mic 2 connected wirelessly to the Osmo Action 4 camera. I glued a cold-shoe mount to the inside of the chin bar and the mic clips into it. I also have a wired lab mic that I can plug into the wireless mic if I need to.

Thanks 👍 it was a bit of a shock for my wife and the deer! 🫣

Thanks mate. I agree that the improvement in the audio using the lav mic just isn’t worth the extra hassle and they are also really sensitive to popping. Have to say I really like the Mic2 setup though without having to use the receiver. I watched your intro to your Scotland trip today. Looks like a good route. I’ve done those roads several times and love it up there but we’re off to Ireland in a couple of months for a bit of a change. Have a great time!

Thank you so much. It’s channels like yours that have made us want to start recording our trips and adventures.

@@GreyBiker99 Go for it, it can be great fun and makes you get out the house and on the bikes 👍

Thank you so much!
