@Joseph13163 to begin with perhaps but they wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of adding the location numbers and giving a list of the locations and corresponding numbers to the Allied pilots.
We watch all your videos and you’re on our home ground. Great to see you’re getting great weather and the videos are absolutely superb. Hopefully this will encourage other people to come and sample some of the great Irish scenery and hospitality 👍
Thanks for watching! Must be nice to see places closer to home 😊 yeah the weather has been amazing! -couldn’t have wished for better 😎. I hope so, but not too many visitors 😉
The smaller concrete structure on Malin Head looks like one of the many look- out posts for German U Boats built by the Irish government during WW2. Each one was equipped with a phone, a fireplace and a crew with binoculars keep a watch over the seas. The larger building
@@neilurquhart8622 Ireland was neutral on the allies side, provided them with a lot of information and even had the D-day landing delayed because of a bad weather report from black sod lighthouse in Co. Mayo.
@@noelward9579 True. I live in West Cork and we still have the bunkers built by the Americans in WW2 like the one near me on Whiddy Island. Some Germans were incarcerated in the Curragh Camp until the war was over. Some of them has crashed their planes and survived. Right-ring Brits like to dismiss these facts and claim inaccurately that Ireland was on the side of the Germans. It suits their narrative. The historical proof tells an opposite story. 👍💚
Hi Jeff, thanks very much and happy to hear you enjoyed it. Yeah we love a ferry ride too! Something about arriving in a place by boat that feels adventures 😊 also a welcomed little break, we really enjoyed them in Norway too.
Thanks!! Yeah we kept pinching ourselves when we saw the sun each day 😁 but it really has made for a fantastic trip and so glad we were able to throw the drone up so much with the good weather. Thanks for watching and we appreciate your comment 😎👍🏻
Hehe based on our experience of traveling Ireland it never rains lol 😂 We actually changed our riding gear for this tour of the UK and Ireland expecting rain and in the end out of 4 weeks it rained only twice! 😊
Throughly enjoying the series guys. I did Malin head and the ferry last Sept when I was touring for a week. Going back in two weeks, can’t wait. Will be filming the whole trip as I did last yr 😁
Thanks very much, great to hear you have been enjoying it! 😊 yeah definitely a place to go back to, hope your return trip goes well and you get some great footage 😎🙌🏻
That tower at Malin Head is the same as the one you saw at Slieve League. Napoleonic era signal tower. About 80 odd were built in total and many remain. There’s one at the southern end of the Cliffs of Moher as well.
You're mistaken as you are referring to the Martello Towers that are dotted around the coast. These are concrete towers from WW2. Concrete had not yet been invented in the Napoleonic era. 👍💚
@@Dreyno Well I'm sorry but in this instance you really are wrong. Go and read up on what this tower on Malin Head is and you'll learn that it's a concrete bunker from WW2. It's ok to be incorrect and not make it into a big deal, and make yourself look insecure. Take care and I wish you well. 👍😊
Fun Fact, Malin head is the northernmost part of Ireland, and is further north than anywhere in Northern Ireland. This is why you never, ever ever refer to Ireland (or in your case Island) as "the South" or "Southern Ireland" unless referring to the counties of Cork and Kerry. Also the Eire you see written on the headlands is pronounced "eh-rah". Have enjoyed your quick tour of my country, and your many mispronunciations, and finding some of the best kept views, away from the usual tourist trail (Cliffs of "Mow-herr are a ripoff, the cliffs in "Ah--kill" are just as nice, and cost nothing to visit. (Joking aside, the placenames do come from a whole other Language, of course). Looking forward to see how you manage Scutland. Keep between the ditches!
I find it difficult to understand how English people can't pronounce the names of places in Ireland correctly seeing as though the names were anglicised to suit them when we were colonised, it would be good craic to hear them trying to pronounce the names in Irish! A lot of north Donegal is more northerly than any part of the six counties apart from Rathlin island I suppose. That wee ferry across lough Foyle is expensive for what it is, much nicer to ride in through Derry city and see the sights in there of the murals etc and the old city walls. I would have liked to see them ride past the big sign at Bridgend which says welcome to Ireland! Sean and Emily are covering a lot of ground on this trip for sure.
