- We are driving our NV200 camper around Ireland. In this episode we drive through Killybegs, take a wrong turn into Donegal Abbey, meet the Travel Trolls, endure park up hell on Donegal waterfront, find a bin and loo in Belleek, explore Creevykeel tomb, Mullaghmore harbour, the Gleniff horseshoe drive, Drumcliffe cemetery to see the grave of WB Yeates before spending the night at Glencar Lough.

I admire your fortitude with those unrelenting grey skies and bad storms. They'd be enough to send me packing! The only thing I'd say about over zealous traffic wardens and lack of places to put rubbish etc is that there has been a long time negativity to camper vans by local authorities because there are Irish people who live and travel permanently in vans and who have unfortunately caused problems. However the Covid situation has seen an enormous increase in staycationing including campervan holidays which will hopefully lead to a change of attitude by local authorities and better provision of facilities for this sector of the travel market. Maybe in time for your next visit! 😁 In the meantime you're most welcome to Ireland and do enjoy your holiday.
I am sure that is the case Martin. Its a shame that governments have allowed several groups to obtain a protected status which makes it difficult to target the real problem so everyone suffers. 👍
One of my favorite instances of our trip to Ireland was when we visited Christ Church in Dublin. As we entered the gentleman at the information booth asked us in what language we would like our brochure. I told him we were from Texas, and he stated "Aaah, ya' know the Queen's English, ya' just don't speak it." A good laugh followed.
You covered the parking shenanigans very well. We have all taken a wrong turn and ended up on a tight single track, well done for showing us we are not alone! Loved that little park up that you ended up at.
That little track into the Abbey was tight even for our van. Common sense tells you it can’t be right but still we listened to the dam satnav 🙄
Travel Trolls sent me over. I subbed . Great show.
Hi Patty thanks for giving us a try 👍
I absolutely love your videos. I’m sorry about Donegal, that wasn’t our experience. I really hope the rest of your trip is better.
You inspire us to do the same
Good to hear you had a good experience there Paul. I am sure thousands do every year and we were just unlucky that night. 👍
We were watching Travel Trolls & they recommend your channel😁
Hello from North Carolina, USA!!
Hi Sandi 👍

That’s great. Please thank your parents for watching. Wishing you all a Happy New Year 🎉🙂❤️
My wife and I loved watching your videos of Ireland. We have been to many of the same places in the Republic. We hope there are more to come!
There are more to come 👍
I love your videos. When I retire I am moving to Ireland 😊
you probably dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can stream all the latest movies on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my girlfriend lately :)
@Ronnie Justin yea, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself =)
enjoy your video
beautiful views
I watch dan and mazzy as well, they are nice.
take care .
We just love Donegal never had a problem with parking it won’t stop us from going .We love Ireland 🇮🇪 we stay in houses 🏡 we use to have camper vans got to much so decided on houses we love them . If we could live in Ireland we would our favourite place in the world 🌍.We like Northern Ireland as well .All the best .
Apart from those wardens and the boy racers Donegal is a fine location. 👍
Another brilliant video, thank you.
Thanks for watching 🙂
You are a very good story teller, nice calm voice you have 🙂
Thanks Debs. 🙂
Hi Ken and Carol myself and my wife Mary have been following your adventures with great interest and as we've caught up with your videos in Ireland we have started to watch your adventures in France and Spain, we love your clips and we always get hungry watching you both. I had a longing for beans and toast at around 11.30 pm the other evening 😋 keep up the good work

Hi Tommy and Mary. Pleased to hear you enjoy the videos. Thats what its all about 👍
Another enjoyable video 🍷🍺👍
very enjoyable video guys. donegal, my favourite county!
Hi, I live in Ireland but really enjoy your travel videos, very good use of the drone it gives a great perspective to the places you visit 👍
Thanks Kieran 👍
Dan & Mazzy sent me over, really enjoyed your beautiful photography & style of storytelling. Am old enough to remember when Mountbatten was killed. Will be going back to watch more, thanks for sharing your journey ~ best wishes from Oregon
Hi Heather. Thanks for taking a look. I hope your community are safe from the awful fires sweeping across the State. Something has to change there because people cannot be expected to suffer that year after year.
@@LifeistooshortCK Thanks very much for your concern & response - yes, some of my family members lost their homes/possessions, fortunately they've all survived. You are correct, things must change. Have lived here my entire 50+ years and never seen anything like this. Kind Regards ~
the other Heather Sorry to hear about that. The laws preventing the proper management of the forests are the chief cause made worse by a criminal element setting fires. I hope the people change whoever is in charge of that. Australia are going the same way. Its criminal and very sad to see. All the very best.
Hello, we came across from Travel trolls, great Vlog and have subscribed. 👌
Just came here from the travel trolls link nice vlog thanks
Thanks for coming over.
New subscriber. TravelTrolls recommendation. Good video/style. Loved the drone footage. Very effective. Looking forwards to new vids and also doing some back catalogue watching. Take care, stay safe. All the best. Mal and Dave
Welcome to our channel. Good of Dan and Mazzy to mention us. All the best to you both 👍
Morning both. I enjoyed this film. Feel cross for you about the whole Donegal carpark experience. How frustrating! I’ll check that video out. Glad it didn’t spoil the trip and soon forgotten. I purchased a Radar key on eBay for use of disabled loos such as the one you stopped at. Worth the £3.50 investment! I wonder when you get home if you’d consider doing a short video of how you both prep for the longer trips you do, if you haven’t done one already (equipment, food, first aid, toiletries- all and anything really!). I for one would really appreciate it. Safe onward journey and wishing you a rain free few days!
I am going to have to get one of those keys Bernie 👍. Sometimes that is the only option left as all the others are locked. It is about time for an update on what we take with us as guess what we still are taking too much stuff. Believe it or not but levelling ramps and our thermal screens are for the chop as we just don’t need them having devised new methods. That video will come after we end this current series 👍
Life is too short Amazing, thank you. I’ll look forward to that. Yes get the key- I found a 2 pack for £3 on eBay and use it when out and about- very helpful with Covid as well!
Just watched the parking incident video. 😮. Shocking
Its a good watch 😏👍
Ah love Sligo.
Came over as recommended by Dan and Mazzy. X great video ☺️
Thanks for giving our channel a try. It was very nice of the Travel Trolls to recommend us in their latest video and good to meet them 👍
Yet another first class video. I am so sorry for the crappy experience at the hands of the parking Himmlers in Donegal. You were clearly irked by it and it came across - I sincerely hope you didn't pay the fine (no need to answer that)! I find Donegal town is far too touristy and it gains huge revenues from American tourist buses - it's had an adverse effect on it. I'm very familiar with all the other places you visited in this video and have visited the grave of W.B. Yeats on numerous occasions - but never knew that I was standing there paying respects to what are most likely not his remains. It seems fitting that someone pretending to be literate has been paying tribute to bones pretending to be his! Your research is a credit to you. We took a drive to Sligo today (12th Sept) from Enniskillen and passed Glencar Lake from across the lake - the wind was actually blowing it upward!! I'm so sorry you are having such poor weather to explore this beautiful part of the country but I hope you are still having a fantastic time. Looking forward to the next one as usual.
We are back home now John but there are a few more episodes to come. We didn’t get a ticket as we were legally parked so they couldn’t give us one. I wish he had told me to take my rubbish home though instead of Carol as I am not as polite as her when shoved. The episode didn’t spoil our trip one little bit and neither did the weather really as we still have fun. We will have to return at some point to see all the stuff we missed 👍
@@LifeistooshortCK SHOVED!!! You've made me effing furious now! There's only one response to cure THAT type of behaviour! Grrrrrr!! Glad you got back safe and sound. I hear weather in Sussex is beautiful at the moment - enjoy! We were meant to be there last week but my wife got Covid symptoms (negative) so we had to cancel. I retired last year with the the priorities of travel, travel and travel! C'est la vie!
Really look forward to your videos, keep them coming. Would love to have a van of my own but as my wife is disabled she would never manage it bless her. Thanks for sharing. Jeff
Glad you like them Jeff and sorry to hear that your good lady is not able to manage a campervan of your own. Stick with us and we will take you both on a few adventures in ours 👍
The parking problem was the back of there van was blocking the footpath.. you always have to think about people in wheelchairs it can get very challenging.. parking tickets are a pain..
I'm loving your videos thanks for sharing..
There was an offence for sure. The warden advised the Irish van to move and didn’t give the English vans the option. That’s what makes it look bad for them. Glad you like the videos. 👍
to keep thing amicable the Wardens could have simply knocked on Dans door and advise them to turn and park facing the other way , it was not like they had walked off and left the van , they were both sitting in the van at the time , I would probably have made the same mistake with the overhang on the back of my van , I wont now though , an easy mistake to make .
G'day guys I'm here because Dan and Mazzy from Travel Trolls said you were a lovely pair and we need to come check out your channel, so here I am New Subscriber 🥳
Thanks very much for checking us out 👍
Great show
Thanks 👍
@@LifeistooshortCK more than welcome
Nice video Im a subscriber of Travel Trolls Dan and Mazzie. They mention your channel so here I am. Lol I live in Queens New York. I just subscribe to your channel.
Thanks for giving our channel a try. It was very nice of the Travel Trolls to recommend us in their latest video and good to meet them 👍
Hated that car park in Donagal had to park the coach there on a few times when staying at a hotel in the town. I would check at 11 at night and again at 6 in the morning the traffic wardens are a pain even on my day off. All ways look forward to your volgs Hope the weather will get better you 🚙👍
New sub from Minnesota! Dan and Mazzy sent me!! THANKS FOR WHAT YOU DO. It lets me travel without leaving my home
Hi Robin and welcome to the channel 👍
Lovely videos.. it makes me smile when i hear your pronounciation of some place names.. Mullaghmore (Mulluckmore), Glencar (Glen-Car).. chat to the locals, we don't bite😊
We didn’t meet anyone who bites except a miserable traffic warden. The difficulty we have is there is no local riding along with us who can correct us in time to take the shot again. Our first attempt is always hard baked into the clips. Believe me we have discussions between us on how to pronounce places and try to look them up online.
you were on the right track with the fishing boats in Killybegs....it's one of the largest if not the largest fishing port in Ireland. The swan on the door of the church in Drumcliif is significant too with regard to Yeats as he wrote a well known poem "the wild swans at Coole". His poetry is embedded in the area although not restricted to it. The Waterboys did an excellent musical interpretation of his poetry called "An Appointment with Mr Yeats" which is well worth checking out. Oh, and another great video!
Very interesting Adrien. I will take a look at that. Visiting a place sparks an interest I never really had before 👍
I've read that about 70 to 80% of all fish landed in Ireland are landed in Killybegs Adrian. Dunmore East in Co Waterford is 2nd biggest but a long way behind. I'm trying to verify it now but can't at this moment. The trawlers go as far as Greenland from there. During the cold war it was reported that some of the trawlermen from the big Russian factory ships operating not far offshore would go into Killybegs on tenders for a few pints at night and nobody bothered too much. We are talking late 70's early 80's when times were very different.
Very enjoyable blog folks,wont be visiting Donegal any time soon. Stay safe.
If we go back the first thing I will do is warn all the campers 😏👍
Food shopping in ROI = most people do a big shop for items with long shelf life at SuperValu- Aldi, Lidl once a month ( if they live in rural area) fresh produce is either growing in their garden or bought from local stores. Very few Irish people will buy tinned meat as the local ham etc in the local store is so much healthier and tastes better. Meals are generally Fresh meat, fish, vegetables potato’s, homemade is the normal in ROI. Our children are taught from very young to eat what is dished up.
Wherever you are in ROI you can find a SuperValu or Aldi, Lidl one or more of these will be not that far away. A quick drive once every few weeks will help you get your lightweight food ( I appreciate your in a small van). You are doing great trying the local food, soda bread lasts a long time at least 10 days ( not in my house ! ) fresh, toasted, fried, potatoes cook more than you need and fry up next day ( saves gas / electric) not sure if you like fish? Mackerel is plentiful and the freshness is excellent in Ireland (tip cook outside the van- it smells but tastes amazing). Love your videos & Carole is a genius with the cooking in such a small space. 👏👍
Sandra Greenup we love Mackerel but that will have to wait until I get an external gas stove 😏. Glad to hear the kids are taught to eat what they are given. In England the whole family might have their own choice which is crazy. 👍
good camerawork there ! compliments !
Thank you very much!
Enjoy your videos. Travel trolls fan here too
How you folks are so content in your lovely camper is brilliant
Keep the video clips coming
Rich Hunt the camper gives us something to do with out time and being retired its vital to keep busy. I think thats the core of it 👍
We did 12 days in Ireland a couple of years ago. Best vacation we have ever had. We are in our 70's so had a lot of vacations. Everyone we came in contact with were very very nice. I hope we get to go back again. Just subscribed to the channel and looking forward to your videos. Thanks.
Thanks Larry 👍
Lovely Video just subscribed an I follow the Travel trolls looking forward to other adventures Stay Safe
Welcome aboard!
If u r following the wild Atlantic way, you should check out Roundstone in Co Galway, great beaches and a nice seaside village!
mr mc Thanks for the tips 👍
Cool
Thanks.
That incident with Travel Troll was truly despicable! I saw their vid about it and was furious!😡
Travel trolls sent me here too. Good show, what a great opportunity you two had to meet Dan and Mazzy especially in this circumstance. You have me hooked too now. Great aerial footage.
We hoped we would see them on our travels but it was pure luck that we met them there. Lovely couple on UA-cam and in real life. Welcome 👍
Was there 3 weeks ago in Sligo.
We stopped in Belleek and ate at the Black Cat Cove pub a few years ago...saw you pass by it.
I love it if my video triggers a memory. Hope the food was good 👍
dan and mazzy sent me. 👍
Hi Gavin. Thanks for giving our channel a try. It was very nice of the Travel Trolls to recommend us in their latest video and good to meet them 👍
I'm sorry you had such an unpleasant experience with the "boy racers" in Killybegs. I'm afraid it's a problem in many parts of Ireland and most unfortunate for those folk who have their permanent home next to these race tracks. Not so long ago one of these "boy racers" was accidentally killed in Belfast and at his funeral some of his friends arrived to pay tribute to him by performing "doughnuts" and other stunts much to the disgust of the deceased's family and friends. It's unfortunate that you had such dreary weather during your visit. Most of out weather comes charging in from the Atlantic and is therefore moisture-laden. Many of my friends are farmers and they have to struggle through the rain to bring in their crops.
I do hope you return and inspire others to follow. As mentioned before I extend a warm welcome to base yourselves at my home in County Down close to Strangford Lough, the largest sea water lough in these isles. It gets its name from the Viking invaders who called it "Strangford" as a derivation of "Strong Fjord" as it has a very narrow entrance from the Irish Sea when the water rushes in and out twice a day.
Haste ye back.
Thanks for your kind offer Alan. We missed quiet a bit on this trip so we will be back to see the rest. If only we could put old heads on young shoulders that lad would still be alive. What is strange is the further South you go the less the problem of boy racers exist. I wonder why that is.
@@LifeistooshortCK I don't know the why - but I do know having driven at length all around the whole island (for work) that driveways in Donegal have a dramatically disproportionate amount of rally cars parked on them. Also Northern Ireland has a very disproportionate amount of motor cyclists (with an impressive racing heritage which I'm sure has an influence). By the way Ken, snap Alan's arm off along with his hospitality - he lives in a beautiful part of the country.
@@JohninRosc I hope your not implying that rally cars parked in private driveways and dickhead boy racers are someway linked !!!
I found you thanks to Mazzy and Dan, I've subbed now, And this should help in the next stage of your adventure , look forward to seeing your channel grow
Thanks Dom. 👍
Travel Trolls TV sent me lovely video I’ve subscribed
Thanks Hayden. 👍
Great vids guys. Just subscribed after Dan & Mazzys reminder. 👍
Dan and Mazzy sent me over.. I have subbed and gave thumbs up. Great video 😉
Just subscribed to your channel. Love your clips and the music, also the drone shots. Sorry about the lack of rubbish receptacles, they have been removed almost nationwide because household collection (which used to be free) is now another expensive utility bill that we have to budget for. People started dumping their household waste in outdoor bins in parks, laybys etc rather than pay for collection. It has created a massive problem for Ireland in the form of illegal dumping. Anyway, keep the videos coming and pay no attention to the few meanspirited people that you will encounter. Be safe and know that you're welcome in Ireland. Joe Dunne Kilkenny.
Killybegs very much a fishing working port
I wish I had stopped in Killbegs now. Would have been a good place to fly the drone but the rain stopped play.
Such a pity you had a bad experience...😞 Loved the video just the same...
Thanks JJ 🙂
I really enjoy your videos and glad you upload regulary😊 many thanks
Travel trolls sent me here. Bonjour
Bonjour 👍
Really enjoying your videos, have a great holiday!
Cheers Tony 👍
Loved the scenery in this video...the car park you got to at the end of the video looked a very peaceful place to stay. Will have to see if I can get potato bread in England. Again the colourful houses in the towns make for a uplifting view.
Thanks Martin. If you find potato bread let me know 😏👍
You can buy Irish potato bread and wholemeal soda, along with many other Irish foods at Morrison’s, I buy pretty much each week via amazon prime now. Hope you like it.
@@sccg2424 Thanks for the tip!!
I know the wee graveyard, can't believe you actually drove down, what is essentially a walking path. lol.
Neither can we now 🙄👍
Some of those big trawlers are as likely to be pulled up in St John's, Newfoundland, as St. John's point, Donegal!
Killybegs is probably one of our busiest fishing ports.
I see by the closing shots, that you made it to Achill.
You're seeing all the wild countryside in your trip.
Just a pity the weather is foul, and all the wee pubs etc are closed at the moment.
Thats quite an area to roam for them. They are massive. 👍
Great as usual👍
Hi there 👋 Subscribing to you from Travel Trolls 🤗 Looking forward to watching your videos 👍
Welcome Lynne. 👍
hello guys, quick question: haven't you thought of getting and installing a small "porta potty" to deal with the problem of the toilets? Keep it up with these interesting and relaxing videos😊🌸
The van has one that can live under the main seat. Very small capacity for waste and a much bigger problem when its time to empty it. Having said that it’s the space it consumes that is the real problem in such a small van so we don’t take it. In ROI finding bins is the bigger challenge. 👍
I was at Glencar waterfall, Mullaghmore & Bundoran just a week ago. I see that you went to the same "car park" in Mullaghmore that I did. That field is very dodgy to get into and out of without wrecking your suspension! I'll know for the next time to continue on up the road a bit to the harbour area. Plenty of "on street" parking there. Having wrecked a clutch in a Mondeo in Glencoe, I'm now very wary of "off roading" :)
It was certainly a rough ride getting in and out of there. I always get out and have walk when its like that to plot the best route. Not much ground clearance on an Nv200👍
Hi new to your channel great video and footage thanks for taking us along to enjoy on UA-cam big like from me and new subscriber here cheers take care and stay safe 👍🇬🇧
Thanks for the sub!
Life is too short your welcome came across your channel late last night and enjoyed your video’s of your travels in Ireland very nice thanks for sharing cheers take care and stay safe 👍
great videos, love them :)
It's such a shame that Donegal gets such a battering even from the Irish in other counties, it's like the forgotten land. It is the last county to get any funding from the Irish Government, no wonder the facilities are lacking.
I don't condone the actions of those youths in cars, but that is a problem I have even seen here in Scotland also. Youngsters doing donuts and burnouts on public roads.
Some of the travel videos I have watched from Donegal lately have been rather negative and depressing and it angers me as I know my family and neighbours from Donegal are decent hard working people.
I now wish the Wild Atlantic Way and the NC500 here in Scotland were never marketed as tourist routes as they were much better as just coastal routes in the past with less traffic, I'm sure many of the locals feel the same.
The problem of boy racers is widespread across the U.K. and is only one aspect of today’s antisocial behaviour. It has to be nipped in the bud just like graffiti and broken windows which takes money to police it.
The problems are caused by a tiny minority including a tiny minority of officials who have created the policies.
Everyone would benefit from eradicating the boy racer problem, especially the poor residents that live just over the trees from the car park. The Garda station must be able to hear it themselves as it is so close. I doubt it was a camper that called the Garda.
I didn’t mention it in the video but the couple from the Irish van had not had a disturbed night. They had been told to park at the opposite end from the Brits by the warden. Normally we would have picked a different spot but wanted to say hello to the Trolls.
We have always shared where we have had problems and praised places which have been great. We have to do that as others will follow in our wheels.
I can't stand youths who terrorise neighbourhoods. It all stems from a very relaxed up bringing in my opinion and should have been nipped in the bud years ago.
As for the traffic wardens, they are also taking a chance as our vehicle registrations are marked the same as yours. Wonder if I would get the same treatment if I stepped out the van with a Scottish or Irish accent?
It does look like discrimination for sure.
I did advise Danny not to pay the fine in a comment when I first saw the video.
I think ye guys are having problems most Irish people never experience. The larger service stations have toilets. Lots of people use those. But most Irish people will just pull into a hotel and use the toilets there. For example, in Donegal town, you could have walked over to the large hotels on the diamond (just five mins walk away from your van). There is a large tolerance for the public using the toilets in hotels and bars. For the waste issue just ask locally or ring the council for the nearest disposal facility. I'd be surprised if it's far. Donegal town definitely should have one. In general, the council doesn't provide these facilities everywhere in case they attract illegal dumping. Lastly, if the kids are causing havoc beside your van just call the police. That's their job. Enjoying your videos.
Interesting to know the Irish entertainment premises approach to people just walking in to use the loos. That’s frowned upon in England so we didn’t even consider that. We got by with the rubbish in the end. No storage for that in the van so we get rid little and often. Do your traffic wardens enforce the rubbish fines or was he bluffing my wife ? As for kids I had 30 years dealing with them in the job so I am pretty used to that. Not good for the towns image though. 👍
@@LifeistooshortCK In general there is not an issue in the larger hotels and bars using toilets. Nobody likes or uses public toilets in ROI (that I know). No need to get by with the rubbish. Phone council or ask locals. Traffic wardens are a pain everywhere. He may well enforce the rubbish fines in that area. I don't know the bye-laws. Sligo is lovely county. So enjoy.
nice vidio founed you from travel trolls tv dan and mazy
Thanks for giving our channel a try. It was very nice of the Travel Trolls to recommend us in their latest video and good to meet them 👍
I thought I seen your van in Galway two days ago ? Maybe not.
Not us then. 👍
Those wardens were absolute scumbags.
Mullaghmore is a nice enough harbour, but we had a rotten night in a crappy hotel there. Awful it was, but there was little choice as it was late in the day and a bank holiday weekend.
See Pádraig, my videos don’t always bring good memories sometimes they recall horrors as well 😁. Beggars can’t be choosers on a bank holiday weekend and we have stayed in a few nightmares ourselves over the years 👍
Can't get my head around the fact that the "Traffic warden" wouldn't allow you to place your rubbish in a rubbish bin. What are you supposed to put in there? I would certainly have reported them. And for a detective to show up? It must have been a slow day in his office.
I still don’t know if the wardens can enforce those rules. The bins state they are for car rubbish. Technically the NV200 is a car derived van so it would be fun to challenge it in court 😁👍
Hello just found your channel and love it! Watching from Colorado in USA. My husband is from Ireland and I’ve been back many times. My MIL lives in Wicklow for a few months at a time and then here in Colorado a few months at a time. :) was wondering how do you use the loo when camping in a place that has none? I can’t camp if there is no restroom around ... odd question I know..,
Hello Kim, Colorado is a beautiful state. I reckon your MIL has the best of both worlds with that arrangement. As to the toilet situation check my first review video of the NV200 and you will see a detailed explanation how all that works. 👍
Thanks and nicely edited guys - what mode did you do the drone shot in tracking the car as you drove forward ... very impressive I am still nervous with mine
No mode I just fly it. I used to fly model helicopters so I am comfortable in being able to make it do what I want.
To get good with a drone spend time flying it without filming. 👍
I am so sorry you had that experience in Donegal. Appalling and arrogant behaviour by both Garda and wardens. A perfect example of taking valued visitors for granted.
Water of a ducks back now Willie 👍
Thought was Street Wardens that was responsble for Litter not Parking Wardens, not that You was doing anything Wrong
Saw Dans Film of the Guarda
Do hope Dans going to contest it n attend the Supervisors Office ,several things on it im sure hed get it cleared,worst case pay just 1 Ticket ,Def not 2..
Like the Way you do your Vids, the overview Narration with a lil bit of as it happens 👍
Thanks Dee 👍
Maybe SODA BREAD.?
Obsessed with toilets😂😂😂. The older you get, your priorities become the loos
Its true 👍
Even at 34 they are important up find for me too

Hi and Welcome to Ireland........So sorry about your Donegal Town treatment......your Videos are both informative and well made. Are you hoping to head towards the Capital....Dublin.
Looking forward to Video 54.........
Certainly more but not 54 😏👍
ignore the revenue collectors, they will have no authority over you anyway. I wouldn't pay anything they stick on my property. Good drone footage.
Thanks 👍
As an Irish citizen I would like to apologise for the Donegal ignorance you encountered.We are supposed to be the land of a thousand welcomes, Bill
Ireland has changed from what it once was and not for the better and I could say the same for Scotland also. Other counties have their problems also.
The people we got to speak to along the way did the R.O.I and Northern Ireland proud. I hope our people would be as friendly to strangers on a visit. As for that warden he was just miserable. He could just as easily told us where we could legally put it rather than insisting we store it in the van until we got back to England. 😏
Where are you able to shower/bath in your travels?
No shower or bath in our little van so we have flannel washes just like our ancestors did. We can rig a shower up at the back but I doubt we ever will unless its a really hot climate. Every now and then we book into a hotel and pamper ourselves for a night. We save an average of £25 per night wild camping so it soon mounts up and easily covers the costs of that.
Rallying culture is strong in Donegal they race around the county at all crossroads.
That would explain it then 👍
Another beautiful video. It’s so lovely to see you in Sligo the county I grew up in and where my heart lies. I hope you enjoyed your stay.
The murder of Lord Mountbatten and the others that day was devastating and deeply upsetting for the local community as he was well liked in the area. Prince Charles & Camilla paid an official visit recently and it meant a lot to the locals. I am already looking forward to your next video. Stay safe! ❤️👍🏻🇮🇪🇬🇧
We enjoyed our visit very much thank you. I am sure that was an awful day indeed. 👍
I hate to say it, but things in general get a lot more civilized as you come in Sligo, Mayo and Galway in terms of boy racers. Donegal has a bad problem with that sort of thing.
I can bear witness to that fact. It was so noticeable I even discussed why it was with a few locals.
Nice bit of hatred you have going there. I will block you for that.

Life is too short for some reason all the border counties have a ‘boy racer’ culture/problem. As you travel south you see less and less boy racers and from midlands down they are few and far between. Not sure why this is? Possibly it might be more of a thing among UK kids and not so much Irish kids?
They can really spoil your enjoyment of a place - and can be particularly upsetting if you have small kids to worry about 😕
Disgraceful what happened you and the Trveltrolls in Donegal Town. As a Motorhome owner I would like to say Ireland and indeed the UK generally is totally lacking facilities and French Aire's type overnight camping.The growth of this type of holiday has been massive, especially this year, and Local Councils will need to plan for this and increase on the already tiny amount of Aire's.
I agree with you on the need for councils to embrace the community rather than going to war with them. There is good money to be made for the right facilities and once covid recedes lots of spending to be had in the towns which also benefits the locals 👍
Disappointing about the traffic wardens. Donegal people are generally lovely and a couple of jumped up so and so’s in uniforms aren’t representative of the county.
agreed. 👍
Look at the reversing I don’t know how yous compline driving over a grave when yous come out of the graveyard no apologies
Anthony Mcevoy reversing was not the best but you do realise it was not intentional don’t you ? I have apologised for that already.
Just being racists... I think that Garda. If I m back in the Ireland, I will never go to Donegal. To me, only those dirty and don't know how to dispose country's rubbish is undeveloped country, never in my mind to think is Ireland. That is terrible experience. Ok. Never let it bug you two down. Go some where else.
It was water off our backs and didn’t spoil our trip one little bit. The Irish are very friendly people, the country is beautiful and I just feel sorry for the people in Donegal who have to put up with that nonsense everyday. It certainly can’t be helping the local businesses who depend on tourism.
@@LifeistooshortCK you are right about that. Stay happy, stay safe, stay healthy.
Learn to reverse your camper you ran over someones grave doing your 3 point turn.
Good point 👍
That came out wrong shorter than i meant it to. I enjoy your videos and keep heading south.
No worries I saw that I had unintentionally clipped the grave when I edited the film and of course I wish I hadn’t. 👍
Great show.
Thanks Tom
