    Brought back old memories 😀, was '96 when I last rode the coastal path to Bangor and back. An old haunt. Lovely to see it again.

      You're welcome! Dunno what I was doing in '96, might have been the year I got hit on the head with a brick 🤣

    I'm moving over to Northern Ireland in the summer and I have been meaning to run along this coastal path - so this video has been a pleasure to watch but also really useful for me thanks!

    I love this path! A bit of advice for anyone trying it for the first time with our current weather. There's a stretch between Seahill and Cultra that's only a metre from the water at high tide and it gets a lot of sea spray or even waves washing over it in windy weather.

    I am really enjoying your mix of camera shots from handheld to drone and mixed with the music. Really creating some nice videos. I hope Northern Ireland is employing you as a Goodwill travel advocate. Makes me want to make the trip. The good part is I do not have the feel that freezing winter wind coming off the water... Great for a 1 man operation.

    I was looking forward to a new running video. I envy the opportunity to run along the coast. I have about 350 miles to the sea, so I look at it very rarely.
    Thanks for the nice video, running back was worth it in that awful weather. But as the saying goes: experiences don't just have to be pleasant, they have to be powerful!

    • @StephenJReid
      @StephenJReid  2 роки тому

      Yikes! 350miles is nearly the entire length of Ireland! Glad you enjoyed the video though. That’s a great saying! 🙂

    My regular route. If you get a chance or looking to add some hills, take a turn into crawfordsburn country Park and add the 5k running loop. The hills are a killer

    Great video, watch out for those pesky seagulls around the drone. I’ve done Holywood to bangor and got the train back a few times, it’s a lovely route, especially on a sunny day.

    "everything's so f***ing green!" What's the coldest it gets where you live? Can you guys farm all year relatively easily?

    • @StephenJReid
      @StephenJReid  2 роки тому

      😂 coldest I’ve seen here was -12C, but typically doesn’t get much below -3C in most areas over winter. Definitely can’t farm all year, it’s too wet and cold. Fields are waterlogged and too cold for growth.
      The grass is green most of the year which is why it looks green. But other plants don’t come back to life until around April
