- And they're off!
The Slaw's have started their 15 day road trip of the Wild Atlantic Way in their Hobby motorhome @HobbyCaravan
@wildatlanticway
They are following the route North to South and started out in Muff.
This trip will take in all of the WAW Signature Points and a lot of the Discovery Points.
Day 1 calls at Inishowen Head, Magilligan Point, Culdaff Beach, the famous FARREN'S BAR - the most Northerly pub in Ireland and the Signature Point Malin Head where they meet a naughty pony!
Stunning beaches and magnificent scenery all the way.
Billy and Jessie, their Lhasa Apso dogs enjoy racing round on the beaches!
park up tonight is a beautiful spot right on Lough Swilly

Thanks Paul! Aww! Sorry you didn’t spot us, but like you say a great excuse to pop to our lovely town again 👍🏻
We would appreciate the beautiful band or singer of the. Irish song used in your travels..

Nice-thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Great start to your tour, glad it wasn’t too windy! We camped in Doolin a few years ago, now breeze when we went to sleep about 1am ( it’s Doolin so early to bed that night 😜) started blowing about 5am, on sticking our heads out of the tent at 9am we were the only tent left standing, every other one had been blown dome.
Take it as slow as you can to really get a true feel of the west
Thanks Geoff! We are absolutely loving this road trip! Every corner has more delights 😍
@@mrsslaw9242 Top tip! If you like seafood and like to cook it yourself, it’s sometimes possible to buy direct of the fishing boats when they come in to harbour, we’ve had fantastic Dublin Bay Prawns ( Langoustines) a few times, take an empty bag or container for them to fill up, fresh as you’ll ever get and great value..
The sea is beautifully blue - you two are so cute! Irish kiss - lovely. Lovely bar! Glad you didn’t kill the dog! Loving your map work Mrs S xx
Slaw - cute? 🤣🤣🤣 I do love my planning. Thanks for watching x
Welcome to Ireland guys. Hope the weather improves for you. It’s interesting to hear what people think of our little island. I’m looking forward to your vlogs. Enjoy
Thanks Valerie! We’ve done really well with the weather so far. We’re not complaining. The scenery is stunning, the locals friendly, and the black stuff is divine 🥰
@@mrsslaw9242
Have you had any dogs chasing your wheels yet? It used to be so commonplace many years ago but does still happen in some villages.

Looking forward to following your trip, Donegal is my favourite county, I was at Malin Head about 50 years ago when I was a kid and it was wild then too. I love the smell of turf (peat) burning. Great vlog.

Fab day one....your very own Tony the Pony, even though he was rubbing his bum on the van....rude!
He was a bit wild-eyed that pony!
Good to see you 2 again . i see ive a few vlogs ive missed x
Thanks for watching Robert!
@@mrsslaw9242 thanks . Take care you 2 x
Only found this chanel recently but loving it
We have a caravan, not a motorhome and stopped using an awning many years ago and now just uses a sun canopy but even then not very often
Awnings are the Devil's work, aka Divorce in a bag !
Thanks Frank! We’ve had some humdinger of arguments over the years with awnings 🤣
I love the planing almost as much as the holiday
I do lots of holiday routes for friends too 😁
It’s good fun isn’t it Lisa!
@@mrsslaw9242 it is though I'm not quite as organised with the file as you I have all mine pinned in Google maps .
Do you do a meal planner too ?
I usually eat out as being on my own it gives me a chance to meet company in a pub
Go to the singing pub its on the Atlantic way been 2 years ago got mussels prawns etc in a dish was lovely never tried it before I think you can sleep in car park xxx
Thanks Meg!
Great videos mind
Thanks James!
Let's hope there was a diving shop in Muff 🤣
You’re as bad as Slaw 🤣
Great video!
Thank you!
How did You keep saying muff without laughing!!! Muff barbers is epic!!!
Slaw found it hilarious 🤣
You can get done for one pint, be careful
Tony the Pony was getting out of the wind. Horses will find the nearest shelter out off the wind, they face away from the breeze., hence Tony’s backside against the van
We are at Kinsale at the moment, we love your blogs, very informative and funny,
P.S. loving the Guinness too! May get to meet you one day.x enjoy Kev & Jack
Thanks Kev and Jack! Looks like we will miss you this time. We’re not due in Kinsale until the middle of next week
oh no you've found me out :)
🤣 🐴
Lovely vlog. I enjoyed watching your video every mins. I like your organised folder book for touring/information. Please may I ask you, where did you get mph converter to kph display? I would like to get one for our trip to Europe next month. How's exciting. Let's GOOOOOO lol.
Thanks Carlo! The HUD is an Aramox and we got it from Amazon. They don’t do the same model anymore though. Let’s gooooo! 🤣
Welcome to IRELAND 🇮🇪. Hope you enjoy our lovely country. Hopefully the weather is good to ye , when you say muff, was that in Ardmore in Co Donegal?
Hi Pamela! We are loving Ireland! Yes, it was Muff in Co. Donegal 👍🏻
Hi both. Loved the blog. Beautiful scenery and of course the black nectar is unreal. I love the planning folder and maps the work involved is incredible. Do you ever sell copies of the route plans? We are thinking of doing the Wild Atlantic Way in the next couple of years and would certainly be interested in a copy if available. Will be following the rest of your trip with interest. 😊
Thank you! I’ve never thought of selling my planning 🤔 For this trip, I used the WAW route atlas and divided the route roughly by the days we have to complete the trip. It’s working so far 👍🏻
Hi, have really enjoyed looking at the videos of your trip. I'm trying to find The Wild Atlantic Way Route Atlas. I can only find a 2015 edition. Would you know if there's a newer version please? Thank you.
Hi, I’ve just looked and ours is the 2015 edition.
Love the videos keep it up! Can I just ask what that music is in this video? we've heard it in a few of your videos and my partner loves it so I thought I'd try and get it for her👍
Thank you! Do you mean the music with singing in? It’s Wildflowers featuring Jason Dering 🚍☀️
@@TheSlawsAdventures yes thanks I’ll look it up and listen to it next week when we’re driving the WAW😀👍
Slaw is coleslaw in Australia ... trying to get that out of my head but not working. 😏
Ha ha! Coleslaw was his original nickname, but it got shortened to Slaw 🤣
Great 1st day video! That pub looked good & hope we’ll see the t-shirt soon 🤣 Loved the music at the beginning. Who’ the artist?
Thanks Alison! The music is called Hill Walk. We subscribe to a music company for our music, so I don’t know who plays it.
@@mrsslaw9242 thank you 😁
did someone mention Muff?! 😁
🤣
Hi Slaws, after having a caravan for many years whilst living and working in Germany and travelling Europe with our two dogs, we are now retired and caravan less. After our retirement and return to UK Prior to a Brexit we holidayed in Europe every year with dogs, last year we cancelled our trip to France after getting a quote from our vet for over £200 for the AHC. This year we have decided to hire a camper van and travel to Ireland along the WAW with sadly now only one dog. It has been brilliant watching your journey and picked up so many tips not only for where to stop and stay, beautiful beaches interesting points and also what we may need to take with us in the van. Also which roads to avoid! Unfortunately you can’t get the route planner you recommended at the moment, although I contacted the publisher and their should be a new edition out in May. Regarding the dogs I do have a couple of questions you may be able to help us with. you obviously had the AHC for the trip which you used for the vet in Ballymena, was it your own vet who provided it for the price, we have checked around here (Manchester) and the cost is horrendous, however would be worth it to get the passport. Have you been abroad with the dogs since you got their passports? It seems such a money making exercise, but we would never go away without our dog. I’d appreciate any help in manoeuvring this complicated system. Keep travelling, and keep entertaining us, you are doing a fantastic job, looking forward to seeing more of your adventure in Helga.
Hi Margaret, thanks very much for watching and I’m glad the vlogs were helpful for you. Yes, our own vet did the AHC for us. I think it was about £160 for both dogs. The vet in Ballymena required us to travel on one. She then transferred the details into new EU pet passports. We used the passports when we sailed Hull/Rotterdam and back in September with no problems. Hope that helps 👍🏻
@@TheSlawsAdventures
Thank you for getting back to me. It’s amazing the difference in cost of the AHC, we are off to Ireland in July so we shall shop around for a better price, of course who knows now where we’ll be with the Irish Protocol. Good to know you had no problems with the Pet Passport on your trip to Rotterdam. You and Mr. Slaw have not only given us some laughs on your trips but great tips for us who have never done a camper van trip before, I look forward to following your further adventures. It was great to see all your planning it is something I have always done and love to do whenever we’ve been away, your organisation Mrs Slaw is brilliant!
Love the blog just starting to follow you both and enjoying the banter...got to ask where did you get the top with the yachts and the lovely bedding?
Thank you! The top I think you mean was from Seasalt, and the bedding is Catherine Lansfield.
@@mrsslaw9242 thankyou for that...yes it was on the Anglesey blog not the Ireland one...we are watching you every evening at the moment...keep them coming.
Love your vlogs , can you tell me the music used.
Thank you! We subscribe to a music company for our music. This is a selection of Irish and folk music.
Nice seat covers. Where you’d get them from please?
great. what fun you have. when are you coming back to france?
Thanks Kevin! We may come back through France on our road trip in September 👍🏻
@@mrsslaw9242 that's when i'm going to see my family. in england. don't forget Toulouse, carcasonne, narbonne.
Sorry if this has been asked before but do you have the details of the route map you used please? Thanks x
Hi Sally, I do a maps section at the end of each vlog. It’s the Wild Atlantic Way Route Atlas. We got ours from WH Smith’s.
@@mrsslaw9242 thanks so much, we are really enjoying the episodes x
Oh following with lots of excitement. … it looks fab x did you need an AHC to get dogs into vet for EU passport?
Don’t worry. Just found the answer on your first post. About you did get one :) x enjoy and thank you for taking us with you x
Thanks Caroline!
Really enjoyed this. Looking forward to watching the up coming videos. The sceneryis breathtaking.
Love your seat covers. Where are they from please?
Thanks Judith! We got them from eBay.

😜🏍👍
🤣
You were driving past Kinnego Bay and didn't drive down to the actual Beach🤔😅
I know! Our trip is to drive the route, visit all the Signature Discovery Points and a lot of the Discovery Points. Sadly, we only had so much time, which meant we couldn’t visit all of the Discovery Points. This was one we didn’t visit.
@@mrsslaw9242 u also missed five fingers strand just down from Malin😂
This could be a long thread Conor. We visited 103 Discovery Points in 15 days and there are over 150……..
