    Join us as we embark on a very full day in Harry as we explore the Northern Ireland coast. Today we push Jane to the edge at the Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge before being mesmerised by the waves at Ballintoy Harbour. The afternoon is filled with the stunning Giants Causeway where all seasons weather hit us but a magical 40 minutes makes this a picture perfect destination
    We are Jane and Stew and with Harry our Ford Custom AutoCamper Campervan we will take you on our version of vanlife. If you are planning a winter trip, wanting to discover more about offgrid / wild camping in a campervan or motorhome then consider following this series as we share our adventures to IRELAND in our second series. We will be hugging the northern coast tracking our way through Northern Ireland and then into the Republic Of Ireland following the Wild Atlantic Way.

I'm sure you'll find the courage to do such a thing again sometime. The Go Ape thing did make me laugh though.😂 But a fear is a fear and you did great.😊

    I just show our kids the columns,we've never seen the ling ones, they all have been to the causeway,with school or on their own,and never saw that part.
    It's on my bucket list. Thanks for a great video,omg that burger looked yummmmm.Great editing Stew, and voice overs. ❤

    Oh Jane. I'm sorry for laughing but it made my day watching, and listening to you on the bridge. I know Stew wears Rab. I can't recommend highly enough some of the Rab lightweight waterproof jackets. We have the Rab Torque jackets that are a bit longer so keep your bum dry and fold up easily enough to go in a backpack. Stretchy too for going over your other coat if need be. They have kept us dry in the heaviest rain high up on the hills of the Lakes.

    You are very brave Jane. By the way, the guide was not speaking Gaeilge, (Irish language) she was speaking English with her local accent. The wave at 17.30 shows, exactly why waves are described as "white horses" in my opinion.

    What, no beetroot on the burger? Sacrilege.
    What areas couple of walks. Bet you slept well that night.

      Never had it on a burger but I reckon I would like it as it’s such unique taste
      Slept well that night with all the fresh air and adrenaline
      Hope your well thanks for watching

      Alan you are the 2nd person to mention beetroot on a burger. Not sure how I feel about it. Mind you if a really good chef presented it to me then im fairly sure id love it 😂
