Raven's Ride Outs - Motorcycle Tour Ireland Wild Atlantic Way from Cork to Galway Episode 1: Days 1 and 2 - Rosslare - Cork - Bantry including: Mizen Head and the Sheep's Head Peninsulas
10:17 Schull is pronounced Skull. Lolz. 14:25 is Barleycove. I live in Co. Cork myself and never tire of these views. I try to get there once or twice at least each year. West Cork and West Kerry are heaven on earth......when the sun shines.😊
thanks for the comment and the pronouncation - apologies for that! we were blown away by the scenery - simply spectacular! have done the west coast of scotland - which is amazing - but south west ireland may just take the crown! enjoy!
Thanks for the great memories. I did a solo counterclockwise version of your trip last year over 8 days on a rented bike, starting and finishing near Belfast. I've ridden in lots of countries around the world (I live in California) but for some reason that trip is one of my all time favorites. What a beautiful country. I look forward to the next episode. Thanks again.
Thanks Peter We loved this trip and found the scenery to be spectacular. We only did half of the route, as far as Galway (over 5 days) but plan to return to complete the northern half. Working on Ep 2 right now...
Ok, for when you go back, let me pass on a recommendation I got from the guy at my bike rental place. On the north east coast, seek out the "Torr - Cushendun" road. It's a little off the beaten path but worth the effort, especially on the clear blue sky day I had. Again, what a beautiful country. Cheers.
Thanks for the comment. I am certain you would have a fantastic time. The scenery is simply stunning - we particularly liked the first 3 peninsulas which were beautiful.
Love the video of your tour; I'm planning to ride some of the Wild Atlantic Way this year. What month was this filmed, asking to judge weather conditions 😳 🤔
thanks for the kind words - always gratifying to know that people enjoy the vids - we did the trip in early June 2023 - we actually had pretty good weather (with a few clouds and just a bit if rain) - pretty warm the whole time - although the locals did keep saying that was unusual! - hope that helps!
just watching now ...i live in Clare and i still haven't done the trip myself...only bits here and there.....but during the summer after the TT i'll be getting my s..t together and get more done...by the way at 9.50 its an irish name and is pronounced as"skull" lol.....
