    Happy Sunday my loves! Hope you enjoy seeing what our first experience of the Wild Atlantic Way is like. Bit of a change from Mexico! Say hello in the comments if you fancy it, and let us know what you think! See you for Part 2 on Sunday 11th August! ✨

      I followed you guys in Canada. Now I see you on Ireland and the scenery is so very much like the Canadian province where I live. I live in Newfoundland Canada 🇨🇦 and the scenery so far reminds me of here.

      I have to say, from an Irishman who loves travel, culture and a big UA-cam follow. I'm hugely impressed with you natural and authentic review. Your editing and music choices are excellent. As Brits, I'll be honest, I didn't expect much and I was about to click off but after watching this episode I feel like myself and my girlfriend would love to meet you on the road trip. Thank you for doing such a good docu job on highlighting our treasures. You've done an amazing job and so much better than our "national broadcaster....RTE" who get paid crazy money but we now have 2 Brits come here and do a far better job. Your music, drone work, film editing and personality is your thing. We'd love to have a pint with you. Thank you for doing such a great job 😘

      I have been binge-watching vids about Ireland but have only come across three negative clickbait titles and they were from a channel called "Northerners on Tour", a couple from northern England. I did not like her personality after the first vid (too negative and complaining) so I skipped the other two. Apart from them I have seen only positive titles on the vids about Ireland. 💚💚💚

      I'm so happy you guys enjoyed making it too. Living near the beach in southern California, the remote part of Ireland is way more exotic and appealing then the nerve-racking trip thru central america you guys endured 😵‍💫 Of course you created that legendary trip across America including sleeping near alligators, magical forests in the Pacific Northwest and making it all the way up alaska. Unforgettable. And who better can bring us the wonders of remote ireland and UK than you. You 2 and doggos are extension of the Celtic tribe. Also we're expecting funding on ocean renewal project and then we hope to become upper tier Patrons.
      Thank you for being such lovely people and fellow dog person lovers. 🐶 🐕

They are much like the Newfoundlanders here. Lots of Newfoundlanders have Irish heritage so I guess that makes sense. Will be happily following your Irish adventures!

    Just came across your channel and this video of my back yard. Thank you so much for showing the beauty of west Cork. I've lived Durrus/Kilcrohane the last 40 years and I will admit, do take where I live for granted. Winter can be very tough here weather wise, but you guys had a good spell of sunshine. Shows our scenery at its best. Most visitors arrive in Cork and head straight to Killarney missing out on our 3 peninsulars. Mizen Head, 3 Castle Head, Sheep's Head and around to Allihies. Breathtaking. Enjoy the rest of your travels. ❤

    By the way, in 'Norn Iron' we call it Wheaten bread and the Southerners call it soda bread.

    Ireland is absolutely beautiful , and your right the people are so friendly , the first time we ever went we stayed in Rosslare, , our daughter fell quite ill , been new to the area didn’t know where the emergency doctors were and it was a Sunday , I nipped in a police station for directions , we ended up with a police escort to the doctors and he managed to get us right at the front of the queue, they can’t do enough for you . If you get chance go into a proper Irish bar with proper Irish music , the experience is magical .

    Oh we both love this video with all of the beautiful vistas and footage of your travels. The thing we love the most, aside from seeing River and Scout of course, is seeing the two of you so much more relaxed. Also finally someone gets how truly magical the green landscape is there. The green of the rolling hillsides are different than anywhere else I have ever been and that feeling of awe while looking out the train window heading from Dublin to Portadown all those many, many years ago has not left my memory nor my ♥. Anyone I share that with clearly does not understand it. Also loved your nod to the fairies. Something one of my grandmothers and all of her sisters always talked about. Fairies and ghosts were her favourite subjects to bring up on her weekly visits. Just got a garden ornament a few weeks ago that has fairies dancing up a dandelion in bloom in honour of them all.

Last week Michael & I were wild camping on Mount Rainier in Washington and this week we are in the middle of Oregon in the Deschutes National Forest, checking out Mount Bachelor and floating down the Deschutes River. We still have Internet even though we're deep in this forest so we were able to catch you and Ben roaming around Ireland. Great video ❤

So funny, I'm an Uber driver in California and just after watching your episode I picked up three Irish girls who are working here in San Diego for the summer. I told the I just finished watching your escapades and they were so excited and despite not understanding half of what they said, due to their accent, they just mentioned so many of the places you had been. Once again, thanks for the inspiration.

    I've watched many videos here of people touring my country. You have just shared number one spot jointly with another young man, as far as I'm concerned. Your camera work is stunning and your commentary is so likeable, there is no intrusive pop/rock music(I'm a music lover, which means Bach, Beethoven, Mozart etc.), and the few strains of folky inobtrusiveness we hear work perfectly. You should be employed by the Irish tourist board, because I actually think you make this country look even more beautiful than it is. I love your Tolkien forest comment, maybe in Ireland you could also drag a W..Yeats quote in by the scruff of the neck. One I'd have in mind for just such a place is 'I know of the leafy paths the witches take'. Hope you get to my favourite place in Ireland soon, Achill Island , and if you do , make sure you get to the so called 'back of beyond', behind Croughaun Mountain. You see Lake Bunafreava West , one of the most chillingly beautiful places imaginable. This is a corner of Achill Island that is cut off by mountains, there is a huge area uninhabited and roadless. featuring the highest sea cliffs in western Europe, a beautiful cut off beach called Annagh, and perhaps the most inspiring atmosphere in Ireland. Needless to say visiting there is not easy and local advice is helpful but you are obviously old hands at this stuff so I just had to say that. Here is a link on the Croughaun cliffs walk, not my video but the uploader kindly pinned my description of the walk from Annaugh to Croughaun to the top of his comments.. ua-cam.com/video/3lrZb3X1Tk4/v-deo.html

      That's really lovely to hear, thank you so much. A lot of love goes into these so its always so nice when people appreciate the little things 💛 I LOVE Yeats and yes, that quote in particular would work wonders for almost any forest in Ireland. We won't make it to Achill island on this trip, but it will be our first port of call when we return to the northern half of the WAW. But made bookmarks of your recommendations for that trip, so thank you very much! x
