It is no surprise to us that your channel continues to grow at such a rate as you guys really manage to capture and share your love for being outdoors and living on the road. You've made us fall in love with Ireland through this series and don't want it to end 🥰 keep up the good work team and we look forward to some beach fires back in Cornwall later on this year (loved your firewood collection determination Iz!!) xx
Oh no dont tell Iz about our beach fires back home, she will start collecting now and fill the van, hahaha. We will let you know when we are heading back, will probably be in spring, will be so fun to meet up. We really cant recommend Ireland enough, you guys would love it, although the bus may struggle in some of the lanes! We seem to keep slowing down so there is no fear of the series ending just yet, haha. Thanks so much for your kind words guys and thanks for watching
Im a 51 year old Irishman and have to admit to not knowing whats on my back door. You guys have done more for Irish tourism in your videos than our own Tourist board has in the last 10 years. Keep up the amazing content....... subscribed!!
@@AlainnCorcaigh I'm just trying to emphasise the good Job they do to promote Ireland to the masses, I'm well travelled in Ireland, not much of a mountain climber though. Oh and I dont live under a rock. Take care...
@@AlainnCorcaigh that's like everywhere in world, people that live in a country mostly know 10 miles around there house pretty well, but otherwise only the most famous spots. I'm always surprised about my area again and again,
heya - aw thank you so much for the lovely compliment! The people here really do make it we have just been so taken aback by the wonderful irish hospitality!
Each time I watch one of your Vlogs I find myself with a smile on my face for the duration and this week's episode is no different... Best 17 minutes viewing all weekend. Really glad you decided to stay and explore the area a little more. Delighted you got a clear day for your stroll up Mt. Brandon. Once again, fantastic video and aerial shots.. Take good care Tom and Isabel. Safe travelling to you both....👏👏😊☘🚐
JJ you have the same effect on us when we scroll down into the comments section and find your kind words 😊😊 we find ourselves grinning from ear to ear. Thank you so much for watching, it really makes us feel like the vlogs are worth keeping up when we get messages like this.
Thank you so much!! Aww I hope you have a lovely time coming home here in a few weeks. Thank you so much for watching and we really appreciate the positive encouragement !
Hi Tom/Isabel - Am loving your videos on my favourite rock on the planet, my home, Oireland!! We are truly blessed and as much as we give out... we shouldn't!! hehe!! I hope you get to spend time in Waterford, Wexford & Wicklow.... Some truly stunning sites to see and experience, especially Wicklow (The Garden County).. Anyhoo, May the road rise to meet ye, as ye go - Slán!!
Hey Kiarse! Aw so pleased you are enjoying the videos - that's fantastic to hear ! we should be heading to Wexford to catch a ferry to wales at some point ( not any time soon) so hopefully will get a chance to explore then :) Thank you for your lovely positive kind words!
Took a boat trip on Dingle bay a few years ago. The skipper let my son steer the boat. A party of US tourists were all sitting on one side, and we were on the other side. Fungi surfaced twice beside us. A wonderfull trip always remembered.
We like to travel pretty slowly for this very reason, many of the best spots are the ones that are not on the "must see list". We often get talking to locals and always try to get their tips on where to visit.
OH MY WORD!!! I felt your emotions when you shared those amazing views from Mt Brandon. Your vlogs are simply unmissable. Stay safe and happy on your travels lovely people. 😀😀😀
You may also enjoy the ring of beara which is just as beautiful and spectacular and along the Cork coast are some of the most beautiful beaches and villages you can see anywhere. Beautiful videos and love your spirit. Stay safe and keep the videos coming.
Thanks Colin, glad you are enjoying the videos. We keep getting people tell us we will love beara, it's making us so excited to get there. I think we are going to leave lots of time for it
Our beautiful country. Looking forward to where ye are going next. The back of Torc waterfall 8s amazing to walk up, ask locally for the directions for it, there are sleepers to walk on going up, and the view is so beautiful from the top. Muckross house grounds are beautiful to walk in too. Delighted ye are enjoying the hidden treasures.
Thank you so much for showing off our country at its best. I've been going to Kerry for 40 years and you've done it justice as you did for the whole run down the wild atlantic way . I love your blog and so glad that you're giving your generation a snap shot of the fu to be had here....even in the depth of winter.......and Covid. Ireland can sometimes be seen as a destination for the more mature traveller. When on the Ring of Kerry check out The Kerry Way. It takes you off the beaten track and onto the old tracks bohemians thro the mountains.Also take in The Kerry Cliffs. A new destination on the way to the beautiful Valencia island. Better than the Cliffs of Moher in my view and quieter. Keep up the good work. John OMahony. Dublin but missing The West.
Hey John :) Wow thank you so much for this lovely comment - what a pleasure to read! Thanks for the tip about the Kerry Way! Unfortunately the Kerry cliffs were completely closed when we passed them - I think because of the time of year. Thank you so much for your positive support!
I mean, we were expecting far worse weather! We were actually pretty concerned we were making a mistake doing the WAW in winter until we got here and we have loved every second
Deprived of her normal fix of visiting charity shops, in this episode Isabel has turned her energy into scouring the whole coast for firewood.... Hey, another great and amusing episode.... Thanks 🚐🌞
hahaha you've got us in hysterics John - your comment cracked us both right up thank you! brilliant :D so true!!! You know me too well hahaha thank you for watching!
A other great video of the beautiful Irish landscape....you are really lucky with the weather. And long my it continue.. Take good care and looking forward to the next tour from you both..much love from from Northern Ireland God bless
Your lucky its not been snowing our you wouldn't get to see much it can get really bad around there in the winter take care and I'll be watching the next episode soon. Much love God bless
Fantastic episode guys.. I had a nice smile @ 3:12 sec when Tom waved at the oncoming blue van.. perfect and effortless finger lifting technique and you'd swear you were a local..! Thanks guys and look forward to the next episode!
I think growing up in Cornwall is the closet you can get to being Irish without being Irish. We have immediately felt at home! Just need to save up for a smallholding now!
I enjoyed this too. Was driving round a remote area today thinking how enjoyable the acknowledgment of acknowledgment moment between courteous motorists is!
I was thinking the same thing myself when I saw that effortless finger wave that’s when you know Ireland has crept in on you everybody waves no matter what especially in the country. Well done on a vantastic vlog guys.
Well done folks, another great video and a great distraction each week as you bring us on a tour of Ireland. Not sure how I'll manage when you leave Ireland, but intrigued to know the next location.
Been watching all you guys vids, Can't thank yous enough for coming to our beautiful shores, Yous are a beautiful couple who love life , you sum up how life should be, stay free and stay together. Keep on trucking.
The "beanz on toast, do, doo, do, doo, da, do" song/dance came at the perfect moment in my life, as I was trying to figure out what to have for dinner. Thanks for that. The scenery you're travelling through (and over) is spectacular and beautiful. Looks like Ireland has been added to my bucket list. Stay safe out there.
HAHAHA, amazing! this made us both laugh out loud. If i had it my way everyones bucket list would arrive with Ireland already pre-printed on it. I hope you enjoy your beans.
@@LostInTransit I did, thanks. I had to stop the video and go make them quickly before completing the episode. New subscriber, and enjoyed every episode I've watched so far. 🙂
Discovered you guys by accident a few weeks ago., love it. Actually really look forward to your latest episodes. Have even binge watched some evenings to catch up. I have traveled a lot in Ireland, but you folks have shown there is a hell of a lot more to see. You really have been exceptionally lucky with the weather too. Roll on next week 👍
Hey Melvin - ha thats amazing love that you look forward to our videos - we still can't quite believe that people are watching us! Thats so cool that you binge watched us ha - love it! There really is so much to see here isn't there. But yes so lucky with the weather - fingers crossed it stays that way!
@@LostInTransit Tell Tom to keep stacking Sats. We're going to win just keep the faith:) EDIT and I just saw you guys are from Cornwall in your Q&A I'm from Devon lol...us Westcountry types are gonna take over the world with Bitcoin 😂
Hi Julia - thats fabulous to hear you are enjoying the Ireland series - we really love it here - the places and people are amazing!! Thanks for watching!
Keep looking at my campervan in the yard and just can't wait to get going. Love what yer doing guy's and thanks for all the places yer sharing on yer journey, going to visit a few hopefully soon 😁👍👍👍❤️
Hey Martin - aw thanks so much for this lovely comment! I hope you can get out in that camper soon!! yayy thats so cool that you will visit some of the places we've been to in our vids! happy campin!!
Awesome Video. Your footage in the Mountains ⛰ is Amazing. I wish I had your Energy for trekking in the Mountains. Dingle Peninsula is so beautiful, I can't wait for your next Video, Hoping you're going to be Cruising around the Iveragh Peninsula soon. Stay Safe and Happy Travels 😊
Hi Larry - thank you so much. I mean we don't always feel that up for the hikes but once you're up there it is totally worth it! Really lovely to read this message thank you for the support!
a lot of ex pats from all over Europe end up in South West Ireland......I can see why, soooo beautiful....amazing place and you guys look really at home there.
Thanks Tom and Isabel for another fantastic video. Beautiful scenery, and great drone footage. I hope your journey continues to be so picturesque and entertaining. Looking forward to the next one. P. S. Don't be pinching any forks from the pubs !!! 😘
Hi Peter - thank YOU so much for watching! ha i have no doubt this journey will continue to be beautiful! Ha we actually bought a pack of 4 forks today from centra lol.. and ate noodles to celebrate! don't worry no fork pinching :D
Fantastic episode again guys! Stunning scenery, excellent cinematography and great editing. You always have some great shots but this episode was extra special. That hike looks really awesome too. I'm sure you're motivating a lot of people to visit the area. Looking forward to the next episode.
Hi Richard - thank you!! We are so pleased you enjoyed this episode! Its really lovely to read your kind words. Thank you it's really uplifting to read this!
Another great video. You guys deserve some sponsorship from the Irish Tourist Board! I been going to Dingle for about 30 years and still love it. I never bothered chasing up seeing Fungie on a tour boat all those years as it seemed so commercialised, but with lockdown and no foreign travels I went to Dingle for a few days from Belfast in September 2020 and found myself out on land where the bay narrows before entering the sea, which as it turned out is where Fungie hung out...so at last, and with no commercial aspect, I finally saw him from the shore just 20 or 30 feet away, breaching a couple of times...and the experience was surprisingly moving. 3 weeks later he sadly vanished, and nobody has seen him since, after 37 years of him being in Dingle harbour. Like so many others worldwide who enjoyed the experience of seeing such a graceful and gregarious wild dolphin, I now feel the loss with everyone else. Enjoy the rest of your Ireland trip!
Heya! Oh wow loved hearing about your experience seeing Fungie - thats really special that you did get to see him without a boat tour. But so sad that he's gone missing now :( Thank you so much for your kind words about our videos woo! So pleased to hear you're enjoying them!
Mount Brandon's weather can change in the blink of an eye, from clear skies and mild temperatures to being completely covered in fog and freezing cold. So many tourists get caught out, not wearing the right gear, especially in winter.
Yeah i bet, the weather in Ireland is very changeable! We do try to be fairly well prepared, we recently took on Carrauntoohil and had to turn back before the summit, you need to respect the mountain
@@LostInTransit What a shame but good call, the north face of the peak has an almost completely vertical drop of a few hundred metres. It's claimed a few lives but what is more common is people start to descend in that direction when foggy and end up in a situation where they can't continue down and it's too high to climb back up.
Great vlog 👍 I remember whenever I visited Ireland I mentally felt so refreshed. There is something special about this place and it's people 😊. You were lucky with the weather. By the way Isabel: I thought you are much younger, you look so young, it's probably the fresh air 😄. Thank you for sharing. Take care 👋
It really is! We love Ireland so much. Isabel still gets IDed a lot, she looks about 12, haha. I will read your comment to her, she will be super flattered. Thank you for watching
Campervan cooking tips. Chop the spaghetti up into short strands before you cook it. If you soak it in cold water for 20 minutes before, it goes soft enough to finish cooking in one pot with the sauce. Less washing up. Fried gnocchi are awesome. Especially with beans, eggs, and cheese on top. Lidl gnocchi very good, really cheap for a big pack.
Hey Adrian! Thank you so much! It's great to have you follow along with us and so cool that you are excited to see where we go next - woo! Have a great week and thanks for the positivity!
Isobel is definitely a hunter/gatherer... firewood... 😁 views from the mountain hike where stunning. 😲 Ireland continues to amaze. 💯 love all the drone footage. 😎
Ireland had blown our mind. It just doesnt end, we drive from amazing place along beautiful roads to yet another amazing place! cannot recommend enough!
Okay, ye definitely took the more awkward route to the summit of Brandon but that's what adventures are all about I suppose. Killarney is lovely but very touristy. Torc Mountain has a (mostly) boardwalk path to the summit and the views of the Killarney lakes up there are lovely. Kenmare is fantastic if you are going through there as ye move down towards Cork. I'd recommend passing through Glengarriff on your way. West Cork is an absolute gem.
yeah the other way looked far more straight forward, but im so glad we took this route. We have just been around Kilarney and i couldnt put my finger on what didnt feel as nice, but i think it was just a bit touristy as you say. Really looking forward to west cork and the south west, Ireland just keeps giving
Lovely as usual, never seen mount Brandon like that, was great even without yer great drone footage, enjoy and dont rush it, glad such mild Jan weather, Still cutting the grass, lol,,
Hi Jim! Thank you :) ah you're so right it is such a mild jan - haha so funny you're still cutting the grass! we were super lucky with the weather - glad you still enjoyed mt. brandon without the drone ha!
Have just come home after a busy Sunday we will relax watching wonderful Ireland we just love Ireland and your channel.The best place in the world and people we just love Northern Ireland as well.GodBless and peace ☮️.
Just to let you know, they’re not actually called boardwalks, they’re bog bridges. They’re to protect the bog which gets very damaged if walked on. If they’re present people should try to keep to them as you’d be in an area susceptible to footfall damage. With Covid there’s a lot more people on the marked ways so there’s a push to layout more and upgrade existing ones. Nice blogs by the way. Glad you’re enjoying Ireland.
Heya! ah i see what you mean - the boards aren't there for the people - they're there to protect the bog! Thanks for the info ! Glad we stuck to the board walk! Thank you so much for watching :)
Fantastic vlog, really good to see some different places of Ireland, stunning views all around. Thank you for sharing them. Take care, safe travels to you both.
Another great vlog guys, I look forward to watching your weekly videos, stunningly capturing Irelands natural beauty, was trilled to hear Izzy say she’d love to move here someday, excited for next weeks segment guys, excellent work and thoroughly enjoyable
Hi Paul - thank you for watching! haha love the enthusiasm for us moving here .. maybe one day if we can afford a bit of land ! that would be so cool! Thanks for the positive encouragement - lovely to hear :)
It is blowing us away, about a month ago i was happy if just my mum watched an episode (and of course still would be), people are being so kind it is really heart warming. Thanks for watching Paul
Another stunning video…It’s so quiet in most of the places you visit at this time of year so must be a lovely experience for you both indeed! Enjoy the rest of your stay in my beautiful home country and I look forward to seeing what you get up to next!
Hey David! Thank you so much for the positive comment! yes we love how quiet it is everywhere we go - really enjoying traveling Ireland in winter - especially with the weather we've had :) Thank you for following along!
Love you two folks . Beautifully filmed and edited ,capturing this stunning environment. Genuinely feel like we are with you on this trek , hard not to smile with you . I look forward to your continued adventures , Mark.
Thank you Mark! :) Thats so lovely that you feel like you're coming along with us! So pleased to hear we made you smile ! Thank you so much for your positive support!!
Watching these makes me want to make the trip down south. Great job on the camera work and narration. Your both so likeable. So glad you enjoy our country so much. Always a friendly voice around each corner.
Hi Stephen, thank you so much what kind encouraging things to say!! yay we really do love Ireland and like you said the friendliness of the people completely makes it !! we want to live here one day!! we will have to come back and buy a field once we've saved up!
Your videos are wonderful. You go off the beaten track and really explore the area you travel through and that makes all the difference. The gold in travelling, is found always and quite literally, when going the extra mile. I have lived in Kerry for 15 years and only discovered Glanteenassig a month ago when scouting locations for a forthcoming Sci Fi film. You found the place after a few days on the peninsula. One small suggestion: before your hikes and explorations it would be a good idea to ask locals about the history and legends of the place where you are planning to hike. This would greatly add to the commentary as you explore. All in all though, really great videos. Well done!
Hi John! Aw thank you for the lovely feedback! so pleased you agree with our ethos to get off the beaten track and explore. Knowing about Glenteenassig woods was down to bumping into the lovely local couple who gave us so many useful tips! Thanks so much for watching! Happy exploring !
Another great episode. Loving the series. Now you just need to tow a little trailer at the back of the van, for all the drift wood Isabel seems unable to leave behind 😁 (unlike forks...)
Hey guys! New Subscriber here! Kerry is the most stunning place I have ever been! If you want a serious view when you go over to the ring of Kerry of Dingle go to Glenbeigh and drive on towards the beach Rossbeigh. Instead of turning right into the beach, follow the road up the side of the cliff face and stop just before the road begins to turn back in away from the sea. Get out of your car there and have a good look back. There isn't a view in the world that I found to match it. Love the content guys keep it up! there is no reason why you won't hit a 500k subs by the summer
I know that road and it is stunning, but I wouldn't fancy taking a van on it. I struggled in an ordinary car. But maybe Tom and Iz you could park at the beach car park at the foot of that road and walk up it. I don't think it's too far.
Heya! Thank you so much for the tip!! We did actually drive up that road - it really was a stunner! How special that you've found your favourite view in the world
Hey Tracy - La bamba did make it up but i can totally see what you mean about it not being suitable for vans - we were lucky not to meet anyone on the road ha! thanks for the tips!
Hey guys, just found your channel and I'm really enjoying it. While in Kerry, take in a stop at Kells Bay just past Glenbeigh on the Iveragh Peninsula. Happy travels
Hiya Conor - so pleased you're enjoying the channel - thank you for letting us know woo! Ok thank you for the recommendation - we drove on the road past that but didn't make it down to kell's bay unfortunately :( next time!!
Top video; I’ve just been skiing in the Alps and it was great to watch a mountain video of home après ski. I visited Dingle as a child and fell in love with it. I want a hat like Tom’s btw.
Hey Barry! Aw lucky you going skiing I hope you had a great time! ha the mountain here are beautfull! Dingle really is a gem! Ha Toms hat was a gift from the lovely family we spent new years with - he's been wearing it non stop! It was hand made so not sure where you could buy a similar one! Thank you for watching :)
If you come to Kenmare find us at Ardtully and you can park in our drive and we will cook you a Thai dinner. Malcolm & Benchawan. Great videos, we feel the same as you do about the landscapes of Ireland, it is why we live here.
Hey Malcom and Benchawan, aw thank you thats really sweet of you. We have already been and passed through Kenmare but we really appreciate the kind offer! Thank you for watching our videos and yes wow Ireland is soo beautiful!
Really enjoying your vlog it’s so peaceful to sit back and admire the scenery and how pleasant you guy’s are... I have a camper but still haven’t seen as much of Ireland as ye
