    SUPER Dave to finish off the series . Sitting with herself with nothing on TV I put on UA-cam on the Tv. She said do not put on TMF in Canada put on that Geordie from Cavan. Connemara is way better. BTW love the pipes at the start . Looking forward to your next one.

    Well done guys. It's nice to see the real tradesmen using the plank and a prayer technique there is not many of us left who use a bit of improvisation and uncommon sense to get the desired result. We usually paint or seal one side of the wall to stop the dampness wicking through, and some form of insulating barrier to stop any chance of condensation .its good to see you have a safe dry spot to keep your treasured friends. Keep well and safe. We are all happy for you Johnny gadget Melbourne Australia (Bricklayer) 👍

    As a Connemara man, it is nice to see an outsider view of our glorius area. I am lucky to live and motorcycle around Connemara.
    I was going to do an insiders view video on Connemara but after watching yours, I will have to take more time

    Loved that Dave - my sort of tour this....I'm always struck by how similar the road signs and street furniture are in Ireland to the UK...dunno why that surprises me but it does! Brilliant production by the way, but then this is you, so it darn well should be!!

    Thank you Dave for the open window into the beautiful backyard of your part of the world. I loved the videography, the music and the drone cinematography. Thanks so much for making us feel like we're good friends with whom you are sharing your life. Easy for me to say sitting in my recliner, but please keep it up. Much appreciated.

    Your hitchhiker made me smile, conjuring memories of a trip I took with a friend in 1978 to the Donegal Gaeltacht. Travelling from Belfast, we picked up three brave young ladies at one point and I have fond memories of the five of us aboard my Yamaha RD 250 on the Irish country lanes. A couple of very happy days that I appreciate being reminded of. Thank you for doing these evocative videos.

    Hugely enjoyable as usual, Dave. The footage you provide us is second to none. Only just stayed in Leenane Hotel over Halloween, Glassillaun Beach well worth a visit. Stunning drive/cycle from Killary Harbour to the beach. In all my visits to Connemara I never ventured that far and, boy, it's probably the most beautiful place in all of Connemara.

    A wonderful series I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope your wife changes her mind about riding with you, there's nothing like sharing the experience together. Although doing a solo trip like this is very inspirational for me. Thanks for the windshield bug repellent. I'm going to buy a bottle myself now. Cheers!

    Some of the best drone footage I’ve seen on UA-cam Dave, absolutely superb, I’m going to try and save to get a drone now! I really enjoyed the series, engaging commentary by yourself and reflecting humour to boot. I’ll help you out with your adjectives but you have to promise to make another series to use them - Exquisite; Dazzling ; Panorama’s . Cheers Dennis 👍

    Dave, I can't express just how much enjoyed this series. I always appreciate your photography, videography and commentary. I really does feel like I am riding right beside you and we are just chatting over our bluetooth communicators. Your choices of routes, the places you highlighted and the scenery waere all beyond amazing. The photos from your iPhone are actually amazing. Its clearly the guy holding the camera that makes the difference... a few of those at the end were just spectacular. I have a Nikon DSLR that hasn't gotten much use in the last 2 years... not sure you should ever need yours again either. I am planning a trip to the UK this summer and also hope to visit my friend in Galway. Now, thanks to you, I have another clear destination in mind. I also enjoyed seeing how you pack your gear. Mine is similar on my GS except I don't have the need for the very large tank bag... a smaller one holds my water, gloves, windscreen cleaner and the like. Otherwise, many similarities to my travel packing. Its always interesting to compare. Anyway, thank you again... things are finally cooling off here in Texas so its fun to ride vicariously with you in Ireland. Well done!

    Forgot to comment, after watching the ending section and seeing your Apple charger almost go flying, I brought a Macbook Air with me to Russia and Mongolia in 2015. Mainly to transfer videos from my Gopro which let me down 2 weeks into the trip. There is AN apple Charger outside a hotel in Krasnogorsk, Siberia. I bought a dodgy one in Russia and it still works to this day, 7 years later.

    @mrelfsquirrel 2 роки тому

    7:27 Looks very similar to the North West highlands of Scotland - but give some serious thought to the NC500 - and by that I mean, if you've a limited amount of time, there's better roads to ride and more spectacular scenery in the West than the East. As a Scot who's spent a fair bit of time up around the NC500 area (since before it was the NC500), I'd recommend not wasting time going east of the A897 - unless you're desperate to tag John O'Groats or get the 'badge' for having done the NC500. Enjoying the content as ever Dave. Keep em coming.

I will try to follow your wheel tracks someday.
    Enjoyed the packing tips at the end. Always learning even after 40+ years.

    • @WheelieGoodTV
      @WheelieGoodTV  2 роки тому

      Many thanks Nick land much appreciated. I don’t know the names or artists as I use a copyright free site called ‘Epidemic Sound’ who I pay a license fee to every year. I spend days scrolling through the site to find the right track for the right sequence and then just download it. Saying that, if there’s a particular track you love then let me know and I’ll email it to you. Send me a PM with your email to wheeliegoodvideos@gmail.com
