Bikepacking on a Brompton - Ireland - wild camping - Irish mountains, bogs, coast, Dublin to Donegal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- At the end of August, an old friend invited me to join her and her father on holiday in their cottage in County Donegal on Ireland's Atlantic coast, where her father grew up. I decided to travel to Donegal slowly, on my Brompton, camping my way across the country.
The only time that I'd cycled in Ireland before was back in the early 80s when I was a girl. A schoolfriend and I got the boat from Liverpool across the Irish Sea, and rode round the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle peninsula. We had basic bikes, a cheap tent, those dark green Karrimor panniers that a lot of people had in those days, and the same Trangia as I have today. We ate mostly jam and bread because we had no money, and came back brown as berries, because for the whole trip we had miles and miles of glorious sun.
In the 30-odd years since then, I have not been much to Ireland - one short holiday, and a couple of work trips. So I don't know it at all, despite it being so close, and I was very excited about doing the journey to Donegal by bike, so I could actually see things. I planned to ride basically in a straight line, and see what I found. I took the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin, and headed west. And I found beautiful roads, met lovely people, and eventually worked out how to find fabulous spots to camp wild. And once again, I had miles and miles of glorious sun. Sometimes it does work like that!
Huge thank you to my friend Henrietta and her father Roger for inviting me. As you can see, I loved this journey.

I'm steadily working my way through all your vids and loving your appreciation of all the small details that meet your keen eye. And loving the Yeats too! You remind me that there is a quiet, gentle and peaceful world out there to be admired and appreciated.
Aw thank you for writing such a lovely comment pixiholly, glad you like the films. Best wishes!
There's literally no place where your "little" Brompton won't take you! Beautiful, Susanna
My wife and I traveled 2 separate times in Ireland by car. Amazing. Would love to take our marching bromptons. We use them from our RV in the US. You are an inspiration! You are amazing. I wore a biking helmet for 40 years before ever having it protect me in an unexpected fall, which cracked it and I was unscathed. Our friend had similar ans had his cranium removed to allow for the swelling to come down before being replaced. I pray for your safety not wearing one. They have many that are light and airy and sit on top of caps. Blessings and will continue to enjoy your adventures. Thank you for posting. 🙏🏻
Always a joy to watch your videos! ❤❤❤
wonderful - thank you!
You are The daughter of nature!
Yet another lovely cycle trip taken vicariously thanks to you 😊
Brompton should give you a free gold-plated bike for boosting their sales through your excellent videos. It would be nice to think Brompton appreciate just how much you have promoted their fantastic bikes. Really enjoy watching your travel videos. Thank you for posting them.
Hi John! Oh that's nice of you haha. Glad you enjoy the films!
Wonderful trip thanks Susanna.🚲😎🇨🇦🏴you have enspired me to your more on my BIKE Friday folder.
Hi Barrie! Glad you enjoyed the film!
Loving your adventures thanks for taking us along 👍🏻🚴
Such great videos we watch them all the time . All the best to you
Susanna, I enjoyed your video in my homeland. You were fortunate to get such good weather which makes such a difference when you are cycling long distance.
I love riding with Susanna! It is like a little holiday for myself.
Hi Effyleven! haha thanks for the lovely comment! happy holidays! thank you for watching!
You are just simply an amazing human being! Thank you!🙏😎.
Aw you're very kind - thank you! for watching and for writing 😎🙏
Lovely. Thank you. I live near London, England but I've only been to Ireland once and I loved it so much. The people are the best.
Hi Ray! yeh kind of the same. When I realised how easy it is to get to Ireland, I thought why haven't I been there more. So close, fantastic landscape, and so friendly.
That was a lovely watch, nice and peaceful...very inspiring! Must get off my arse lol! My Brompton has been gathering dust this past winter and spring!
Hi Matt, aw thank you, glad you liked the film, yeh was nice that ride, summer sun, pootling across Ireland ahhh happy memories
State side here. My family on my mom’s side are Irish. I bicycle tour. I’d like to do Ireland. You made me hungry with all your cooking and eating. I’d better go eat a bite. Really enjoyed your tour. Om!
Hi Daniel! thanks for watching! glad you liked the film, I loved exploring the country of your mom's folks, gorgeous scenery and I met such nice people
Bless you. Optimism is a W.M.D...
🙏🙏
Very good bicycle adve ture tour good camping good cooking very life injoy
Hi Shaukat khan! aw thank you for such a lovely heartfelt comment x
Hallo! I have only recently discovered your wonderful films about adventures and wild camping with your Brompton. I thought I had binge-watched them all but…. I discovered this one last night. What a joy.
I hope you know just how much pleasure your films with their great photography, chat and scenery,give to so many of us who are unable to do something similar.
Wishing you many more adventures. They are lovely to watch
Aw Jacky thank you for the lovely comment. Glad you enjoy the films!
Beautiful! I would like to visit Ireland and bike around the countryside. My Grand Dad is from Ireland & while alive had a dairy farm in Virginia, USA. I can see the similarity of both locations. Thanks for bringing us along with you on this wonderful journey. Cheers ~
Oh how nice about your Grand Dad. I hope you will be able to visit the places in Ireland where your Grand Dad came from one day. Thank you for the lovely comment!
What a beautiful film. Thank you for sharing your journey and all that beautiful countryside.
Hi Emma! Thank you for watching and for the lovely comment! 😎🚲⛺
Such a refreshing channel Susanna, I stumbled across it last week when I was looking for Brompton related videos. I’m thinking about getting a Brompton and getting back more on a bike. The bike I currently have, I took it for servicing today, so looking forward to getting out on it, until I decide what I’m doing Brompton wise. Your adventures on your Brompton are really fascinating, and gives me the confidence that I can get more out of having a Brompton than just using it for riding to work. Ireland looks so pretty!😊
Aw yeh Ireland was lovely - I loved going just kind of straight across the middle like that, to see what is there. Great weather I had! Nice people too. Anyway thank you for watching - and happy cycling! Hope your bike feels great once it is all nicely tuned up!
!! I'm Sergio from Brasil.
I Just disvover your channel and I'm Loved!!! Nice Nice vídeos, so natural, and simple! Amazjng views, contry roads ,cootage houses.... realy NICE!!!
Hi Sergio! thanks for watching! glad you like the films! greetings to you in Brasil x
Your videos have such a relaxed, almost meditative quality. The scenery, music and commentary are just lovely, thank you 🙂
Hi Nicholas! thanks for watching! glad you like the films!
What a fantastic video 😊
Vamos de novo, beautyful 👏
Another truly wonderful video made from the heart. Hope you continue to enjoy your cycling adventures as much as we enjoy watching them.
Aw thanks Bridget, what a lovely comment 🥰
Loved the references to W.B Yeats.
Really excellent.
Gorgeous video ! I've got goosebumps , this video make me want to get my bicycle and ride there ! Take care and looking forward to the next one !
Thank you George! What a lovely comment. Glad you liked the film. Another one coming soon - another Irish film actually, cos after the holiday with Henrietta, I thought well here I am, with my bike and all my gear, and the coast looked amazing on the map, and I had some time, so I rode back as well, along the north coast of Ireland, on the so-called Wild Atlantic Way and then into Antrim and down to Belfast, and got the boat to Liverpool from there. It was beautiful, and really different from the route I did on the way out. I'll make that film next. Anyway, thanks for writing! Happy cycling!
@@susannathornton you too ! All the best !
Instead of reading the News I watched this with my breakfast coffee, so much more inspiring Thanks for posting!!
Hi Ian! Thanks for the lovely comment! Glad you liked the film!
A massive smile on my face seeing this new video Susannah. Such a treat and made a gloomy afternoon stuck in the West Midlands a little more bearable..lol. Your such an inspiration and planning my own bike adventures next year thanks to you👍
Hi Philip! Oh what a nice thing to say, thanks! Great that you are planning a few bike adventures too 😊🚲⛺
Enjoyed every minute of your journey cycling around Ireland Susanna great editing 👍
Hi Rose! thank you! so nice of you. Glad you enjoyed the film! x
Great video thank you 🙏
Hi Grace! Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the film!
27:24 My god this is cozy as fuck, straight out of a movie!
15:00 wrong turning, I know that feeling, but at least you have good weather.
I was channel hopping earlier, as you do and bumped into Miriam's channel where she'd mentioned your recent trip to Ireland. What beautiful sights and sounds. Thanks for sharing.
haha yes, good thought. Look on the bright side, always! Thanks for watching!! So nice of Miriam to mention my films too. What a lovely person.
Thank you for your Brompton videos. I find them very motivating. I am planning a charity bike ride and your videos are swaying me toward using my Brompton, brilliant bikes. Another lovely video.
Hi Peter! Thanks for writing! Glad you like the films! Yes, brilliant little bikes. But I was thinking about what you said about a charity ride. Is it going to be a ride with other people all on "normal" bikes? You obviously know Bromptons, and you'll have thought about all these things already, but I am just thinking that if you're with other people and if some of the road surfaces on the course will be rough, is it the best choice - cos all the others will be able to zoom downhill on their big wheels, and you'll have to go more slowly and be careful on your little wheels. On my own, I don't mind doing more slowly on a Brompton on rough sections. But when there are other people around me, it is a bit different. When I was cycling with Lynne and she was on a "normal" bike and I was on a Brompton, on smooth surfaces we were equal, but on rough surfaces downhill, she could just bash on down at speed without worrying if she wanted to, whilst I had to pick my way. Just a thought! If the road surfaces on the charity ride are nice and smooth, a Brompton will be just the same as everyone else. Horses for courses isnt it, always. Anyway! Hurrah to you for doing a charity ride. Hope you have a brilliant time. Thanks for watching!
@@susannathornton Hello Susanna. thank you for the advice. My days of whizzing are few and far between. I am planning a solo ride which for me will probably involve lots of pushing. I am carrying a few old injuries from a motorbike accident hence the charity ride to pay back the air Ambulance. I just can't decide on which of my bikes to use. I have a nice bright orange Brompton a 25 yr old mtb, a 30 year old Peugeot road bike and a nearly new hybrid which I have ruled out for the ride as its really light and fast (could be viewed as too easy) I was hoping to do something from Italy but with the lock downs Im not sure I am also thinking of some sort of coast to coast back to coast ? It all depends on the old war wounds. Cheers Pete
WEll done again, Susanna. I am amazed how you seem to find quiet roads, or at least it seems quiet when you have captured it on film. Dublin looked quite continental the way you filmed it too. We take our footpaths for granted! Cheers. V
Hi Vin! Thanks for writing! The main roads that I saw did have a fair bit of traffic, but the "B roads" were some of them beautifully quiet - like that road along the edge of Lough Gill, quite a big road really, but hardly any cars - and C roads often just deserted except for the odd tractor, and farmer wanting a chat haha. And Dublin yeh it felt really continental, good word for it. Everyone in summer clothes, all those bridges and cafes and bars. Lovely. Hope your family all doing well! Thanks for watching!
Just love watching your adventures. Keep em coming 👍😊
Hi there furkuk! thanks for watching again! More coming soon! happy cycling! 😎🚲
Thanks for the reminder of the beauty & warm people in Ireland. I stayed at Camac Valley campsite while in Dublin. Ireland is special to me, as my family is rooted in Connemara. I long to go back & see more of it. Though I've enjoyed a lot of travel, Ireland is the only place I've had a lovely long visit that felt so short that I left in tears.
Aw thanks for writing Kerry. Sounds like Ireland is a very special place for you. Hope you can do what you long to do, go back and see more
That was great, thanks. Really peaceful. Beautiful scenery. I've never been to Ireland; I need to go someday.
Hello HRH! thanks for watching! Yeh I had hardly ever been there. I enjoyed it so much. I ended up cycling back to England too actually, on a different route. Also lovely landscape and really different. Will put up a film about that ride soon. Best wishes!
You made such a calming video. I know it is 1 year from now, but I hope you are well.
Hi, only just discovered your channel, I’ve not been to Ireland for 30yrs but watching this has made me want to visit again. Thank you.
Hello! My first trip was about 30 years ago too - cycling and camping round the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle with a schoolfriend, no money, jam and bread all the way round. Doesn't seem so long ago really. Hmm, actually perhaps she and I should redo that trip, now her kids all grown up... Hope you get to go back to Ireland again too. Thank you for watching!
I love your camps.
Thanks Guaraci! Glad you like the camping!
@@susannathornton amo suas aventuras.bj...
Susanna, what a fantastic video, thank you so much for sharing. Ireland is a fantastic place!
Aw thanks Andy. Yeh, those summer days, riding across Ireland, were just gorgeous. Thanks for watching
You're videos are brilliant, heart warming adventures. You're brilliant! Love your stylish compositions!
Oh that's nice of you William! Not often than anyone mentions me and the word stylish together very often haha 😁
That was brilliant. So glad I found your channel. 🙂👍🚴♂️🏕️
Hi Brian! Those were happy summer days. I like making films cos it is so nice to look back on things and remember everything. Glad you liked the film too. Best wishes!
I love how you build all the quiet nature moments in.
Hi Timothy! Glad you like the films! Yes it is so nice to sit and listen. I prefer wild camping to campsites partly because of the sounds you hear when you sit alone and listen
Oh, I do so love Ireland! Stunning!! The people are incredibly friendly. I definitely think it is one of the most beautiful countries on the planet!! I was very lucky to do a six week tour from Dublin, up to the Giant’s Causeway and then around the entire Wild Atlantic Way. Took my little Campervan, and a friend, and we each took turns to cycle or drive our way round. Wild camped two out of every three nights. Amazing trip! We were cycling together one day from our base and got caught in a downpour… a lady came out of her house and said “aw, cum on in out the rain, ye can’t be gettin wet out there”… she invited us in for tea and cake, and a long interesting chat. You’ve just got to love ‘em!!
Aw sounds like a lovely trip!
Such a nice video, very soothing and inspiring ! Been dreaming to bike through Ireland, thank you for this
Hi Nomadele! Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the film 😁🚲
Another lovely video.
Hi Ian! Thanks for writing! glad you like it!
Beautiful, and very inspiring. And not a drop of rain!! (;o I work in the Northwest of Ireland and never tire of the uncrowded serenity of these border counties. Thank you and safe travels.
Hi Kevin! Glad you like the film. I like the way you put it, uncrowded serenity. Thanks for writing!
Thank you so much for another great video!!👍👍👍 love the music,views,cemetry barber🤣
Perhaps someone asked you did but aren't you never afraid as a woman doing wildcamping?
greetings from Holland
Excellent video - really nice!
Hi Jules! Thanks for the lovely comment!
Thanks Susanna, another video glue back my missing of long gone Ireland backpacking memory. Vividly I took 30 hours Eireann Long bus journey via ferry to Dublin, then to Galway City.
Hi Clementi! Thank you for the lovely comment. Sounds like a long bus ride! I hope you have lots of happy memories. Thanks for watching!
Just tested positive for COVID and feeling crap, so this has really cheered me up. Can’t wait for 10 days to be over then I’m out on my bike!!
Thank you 🙏
Aw sorry to hear that. Take care and hope you are feeling much better soon
Incredible - is all I can say about this trip. Thank you for sharing this! ☺️
Hi Noel! Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for watching!
A lovely glimpse of a beautiful country. Thank you.
Yeh, what a beautiful island. I loved the whole trip. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for sharing! Enjoy everything about your videos so much. And have requested a folding chair for my birthday so my 64 year old body can relax in comfort after a day’s ride. Keep up the brilliant videos, sharing and ideas.
Oh wonderful about the chair. Great idea. You will be constantly thanking the person who gives it to you haha. Mine was kind of a joint present from my Dad and my husband. Thanks for watching!
Just amazing. And the Scottish lady was sitting on one of my favourite places in Ireland up on the iron mts in letrim many a flask of tea I had there.Just a wonderful video thank you.
Aw thanks Derrick. Glad you liked the video! Yeh what a spot, massive view. Sounds lovely going up there with a flask of tea. Thanks for watching!
What a nice video. If you talk to people you meet they are usually very friendly, as you already know.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Colin! yes! It's lovely to take the time to chat a bit along the way isn't it. I met lots of lovely people on this ride. At Lough Derravaragh campsite I met an brave nice father who was on holiday with his other children but whose little son had recently died, and we talked for ages. And lots of other people. Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the film! 😎
Thanks for share 🖤🖤
Hi Ryanto! Thanks for watching! and for writing! 😁

Hello in Georgia! thank you for writing! glad you like the films 😎
@@susannathornton Thank you
So good to SEE you again! You and your Brompton and your tent and your tea rig. Welcome back!
Hi there Frankie! Thanks for writing again! Glad you enjoyed the film! Haha yeh my little kettle, makes me happy. Where would I be without it 😁☕
Susanna thank you for sharing, this was wonderful to watch!
Hi Suz! thank you! Glad you liked it!
Bonsoir Susanna and all others watching this thread. I'm writing from the other side of the pond (I'm in Canada) and after looking at probably 5-6 of your videos, I am amazed at your resourcefulness while travelling and camping. After holding out for 15 years, I went ahead and purchased a Brompton (M6L which I immediately asked to be converted to the "R" version, with the rack). They are scarce here (probably everywhere with the pandemic) and it was in my colour (somewhat flat ORANGE), so I pulled out my card and voilà! For the moment, I am at the limit of the weight spectrum but I hope that "Benji the Brompton" will help me get my weight back to normal. Can't wait for spring to come along to take to the roads! Happy travels, tout le monde!
Hi there Jacques and Benji 🚲! hope you guys get to take to the roads soon! Happy cycling!
That was absolutely delightful Susanna.
Hi Jeremy! Thanks for the lovely comment. Glad you liked the film
Wow brilliant, subbed. Another UA-camr led me here, thanks Miriam :)
Hi Phil! aw thanks! glad you liked the film! thanks to Miriam too, so nice of her :-)
Just finished watching all of your videos Susanna, brilliant! Throughly enjoyed all of them. Thank you so much for putting the films together and sharing.
Hi James oh wow, sounds like a bit of a marathon haha! Glad you enjoyed the films! When I started making them I was really not very good at all as you will have seen. Thank you for writing, and thank you for the support!
I love your videos, so peaceful to follow and great places
Hi Lou! thank you for watching my films! glad you like them!
Another excellent video Susanna. Lovely, quiet and beautiful countryside. Enjoyed the background music as well. Keep up the great work. I look forward to the next.
Hi there Alan! Thank you! Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!
I really enjoyed that, what an epic journey. so very well done! I wish I could do the same.
Hi David G, aw thanks. I rewatched it recently, and thought how lucky I was to have done that ride. I loved the Irish journeys I did last year, one in the sun, one rainwashed.Thanks for writing!
@@susannathornton No worries, if you are ever in need in Dublin, give me a shout.
Hello Susanna, just a beautiful trip, I enjoyed it from beginning to end, I also congratulate you for the selection of the very beautiful music and also the landscapes, until the next video, greetings 😊👍💫✨
Hi Mithu! thanks for such a nice comment! Glad you liked the film! Next one coming soon!
Enjoyed watching and coming along on your journey Susanna thanks for sharing
Hi Peter! Thanks for coming along! it is lovely of people to watch and to take the trouble to write comments, thank you!
Wow your videos calm me and make me want to get off my arse and get riding my bikes more. Having 3 kids hasn't helped 😂
Hi Philip, thanks for the comment! Glad you enjoy the films... After you wrote I watched that film again actually. Aw yeh made me remember what a lovely ride that was, warm summer days and freedom. Hope you and your family all can get out and enjoy riding bikes x
Keep pedaling nice Video👌🤟
A truly wonderful film. I commute around by bike, but you're inspiring me to go further and wildcamp. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us, I so enjoy watching your videos. Anna.
Hi Anna! oh thanks so much for the lovely comment! Glad that you like the films! Happy cycling!
What a lovely adventure, jumping over from Miriam Kennedys recommendation . Subbed. ATVB Colin
Hi Colin! thanks for watching! Aw yes, I was so touched by what Miriam said. What a lovely person. Glad you liked the film, and hope you'll enjoy the channel!
Wow thanks for sharing Susanna, what a nice and positive trip, lovely countryside.
Hi Alex! thanks for watching! and for the lovely comment. Yes it was lovely countryside and kind of different every day. I loved it. Best wishes!
Great to see you have come to Ireland the land of saints and scholars. I live here and the roads are tough you could train here for the tour of France,but the people are so friendly hope you got home safely did you cycle back home ?
Hi E! Thanks for writing! aw yeh I loved cycling in Ireland. And yes, I did ride home too, along the north coast of Donegal into Antrim and to Belfast. I took the boat from there, kind of completing the loop. Loved it. I'll put a film up soon about that ride too. Thanks for watching!
@@susannathornton Your videos are excellent. As you've seen, Donegal is a difficult place to get to but the coast is magnificent. Looking forward to the next episode.
Thanks Paul! Glad you liked the film! Making the next one now, just started this evening
Susanna that was great to watch, thank you. I did a couple of weeks cycling there a few years ago and loved it. Retired now and heading back soon to leisurely cycle away the summer.
I'm from Sydney and researching now, What references would you recommend.
....Most ladies I know think camping is when room service is late......outstanding!
Hi Rod! Glad you liked the film. Congrats on your retirement - and happy cycling! What do you mean by references actually? I was not quite sure what you meant. If you mean books, then I suggest Gianni Filippini's book Touring on a Folding Bike. It is full of practical tips, and is really thoughtful and inspiring. Gianni has a super youtube channel as well @bromptontraveler. That is just a little idea of something nice to read, or watch. Do write back if I have misunderstood what you're looking for. Best wishes!!
I truly enjoyed that. Really did. You have a lovely calming nature and it comes across on the way you film and the general vibe of your video. I was sent your way by a friend of mine who took inspiration from your video. Miriam Kennedy. Glad she did. You got a sub from me. 👏👏🙂
Hi Soletrail! aw thanks so much! And I am really grateful to Miriam too. What a super filmmaker and lovely person
@@susannathornton absolutely Susanna. We met a few times for some wild camps and we met through UA-cam so it's been a fun journey. Delighted I found your channel. Good on you.
Thank you for sharing another wonderful cycling adventure. The quotes from Yeats.... Quite!
Hi Ian! yeh the Yeats. The nice calligraphy version of "He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven", which I put at the end, is in the cottage actually. A little old frame, propped up on the lintel above the window. I wonder who made it. Probably Henrietta's Granny or one of her Granny's friends. So nice. Thank you for writing!
Hey Susanne another great video. It’s Rick that you have directions to Camden on Monday thanks for the advice and the m doing the Lea river route soon.
Hi there Rick! at last!! sorry my slow reply. It was so nice to meet you there by Regent's Park the other day - and find out you had just ridden the River Lea. Sounded like a lovely route you took. I might do it again one day, and try a different route in the Upper Lea more like what you did. Hope you are well! Happy cycling!

Really enjoyed your video you are very brave cycling every where and show a lot of us up
Hi Dermot! thanks for watching! Not brave really, just doing things that that make me happy. Glad you enjoyed the film!
Loved this video - the first time I ever watched a video that showed the Ireland that I always want to show to visitors. Alas, it's hard to convince them to cycle!
Aw thank you Conor - what a lovely comment x glad you liked the film! Thank you for watching!
Really enjoyed this video!!! Hope you are well!🥰
Hey Reli! Hope you are well too, and finding time to get out and about, and do cool things, like I know you do. Thanks for writing! Glad you enjoyed the film! 😎
Thank you for a lovley video. It brought back memories of pedalling from Cork to Larne around the West Coast in 2012. I didn't quite have the same weather. It was the wettest summer on record!! It was still stunning. :)
Hi Graeme! Thanks for watching! Oh that sounds like a lovely idea for a tour. Aw poor you though with the wettest ever summer! I was so lucky, hardly a cloud from Dublin to Donegal. On my way back, however - along the north coast - it rained. A lot. Haha. But I thought it was stunning in the rain, too, like you. Film about that ride coming up soon! I am working on it now... Thanks for writing!
What a lovely video,felt myself relaxing as I watched it!!
Hi David! oh that sounds good! Glad you chilled out and enjoyed it haha! thanks for watching!
Great travel storey Susanna, thank you for making it. I have saved it to revisit in the dark depth of winter. The closing image of the cottage was a cracking end shot.
Haha, me too! I like looking back on trips I have done before. Making the films is a good way of doing it. Thanks for watching! 😁
Wow you never seem to amaze me with your sense of adventure . nice to see more of the cooking pot lol.
Hi Keith! thanks for watching! Just used the stove again, on a one-night mini trip. Gotta wash it all up and scrub it again now. Or maybe tomorrow morning
Wonderful bike trip,it reminds me at my one bike travels,in a way relaxing and at the same time being fysicly active, love it. Thank you.
Hi Marinus! thanks for the lovely comment! You said it really well, yeh to me a cycle ride - a slow one like mine anyway haha - is a lovely mix of relaxation and activity. A simple way to be happy. Thanks so much for writing 😊🚲⛺
Me encantan tus vídeos. Eres muy valiente haciendo sola esas rutas por esos lugares tan solitarios. Saludos
Love from Holland. Enjoyed your trip very much!
Hi Gert! Thanks for the lovely comment! Glad you enjoyed the film!
Oh my god, you cycled past my house in cloone 😁 I have a 7 acre smallhold just outside the village, I would love to have hosted you if I had known- love your videos, and inspiration
What a coincidence!! I better go back, and I'll stop at yours for tea. I loved the soda bread you have in Ireland. With loads of butter. Thanks for the support and thanks for watching my channel!
Thank you so most for your reply I always can relay on a answer from you that's what make your video's and blog so interesting.I though you had found a rich farmer for yourself here in Ireland. You Take Care on the roads,and stay safe .Sorry I didn't see you here as I only live 20 miles south of Belfast.near the mountains of Mourne.
Beautiful video - thank you for sharing - so glad you enjoyed your trip - I grew up in Sligo - a wonderful place to live ❤️ Happy travels! 🇮🇪🇬🇧
Hi Mary! How wonderful! I thought Sligo was fantastic. Thank you for writing!
