Network Camping EP18 4K Finding solo Overland wild camping spots, Wild Atlantic Way, Discovery 3,LR3

- My father bought a van when I was a kid. It previously delivered tyres. Painted on the sides were the words "More Miles, More Smiles". Over the years the more bleached and more rusty the sides of that van became the funnier these words became. There is a metaphor for a dealing with the trials of getting older in that story.
In this car camping overland story I am answering the logistical challenge of trying to help my father along with the rest of our family in order to return him to home and to health by being in several different places as required. We got him home, but within this trip was a cure for more than just logistics.
4 different camps are explored in this video, 2 others are also looked at but they did not work out. Some you win, some you lose, but we won this one.
Wishing you all more miles and more smiles

#Wild Atlantic Way
Robin , what can I say... you beautifully capture the essence and rehabilitation that a bit of ‘me time' can bring. The serenity of each moment contrasts so well against the backdrop of challenging conditions, both personally and climatologically! I’m pleased for what I hope was the happy ending you mentioned. Thank you again for finding and sharing these unique spots along the Wild Atlantic Way - it is truly inspiring.
Once again, you have a gift for finding the perfect balance between adventure, family connection, and personal reflection. You show us the beauty of Ireland through your eyes and narrative and encourage us to explore and find our own escapes (and cures) in nature - Thank You!
Thank you Paul. I appreciate your comment very much. Your comment shows very clearly that the message transmitted matches that which was received.
Whether your medium is music, poetry, literature, photography, painting or videography the very human satisfaction in communication I think comes mostly from knowing that the description in your story of place or emotion remains true to the viewer and that the message of value has remained intact and it therefore is proved worthwhile.
You have the talent of a fine cinematic producer and the voice of a traditional Radio announcer.
Plus the best 4WD and a great setup for independent travel.
Well done!
@@robertjohnston3658 thank you Robert, I genuinely appreciate your feedback. Means a lot of course. Feedback after all is what steers the next video.
Notwithstanding the fact that this was an escape within a series of visits, there is so much!!! time and effort gone into creating this content that you have kindly shared with us, and it has not gone unnoticed. Some really beautiful shots, far too many to list, the B roll , the story telling, the while edit . . .its a great piece. Thanks for having us along.
Hi Cormac. Thank you. You never really know for sure if you’re getting things across at a pace that works unless somebody takes the time to say so. After all the time trying to stitch this tale into something that I believe says what I wanted to say, your comment and those like it are very gratifying. Much appreciated.
Fabulous production and great photography. Well done! I really enjoyed it.
Thank you Ciarán. Genuinely appreciate the feedback. As I often say, putting videos on UA-cam is like telling jokes to an empty room. Hard to know if you’re getting it right unless someone says so.
Hi Robin.
Well I found that 35 minute video was the "Perfect cure" after a 12 hour shift. You managed to fit so much into it, excellent camp spots, beautiful scenery and perfect coffee making. Really enjoyable and thought provoking. 👍
Ironically Andrew I am reading this after a 12 hour shift too and the comments here such as yours are also a cure in themselves. They are fuel for the next one so thank you.
Incredible these Timelapses with star trails 😍
Here’s is the bit that broke my heart from a camera geek point of view. The star lapses are simply phone camera footage I took of my star lapses playing on my iMac. I took them simply to give my siblings a quick WhatsApp preview. The original star lapses were amazing and matched with time lapses into sunrise that I would have merged. They included moon shadows drifting across the mountainscapes and were the best footage I have ever got. However while transferring the data I lost the lot. It was a very bitter pill to take. I tried everything and everyone to get them back but it was not to be.
The only solution is to go out and get some more.
thakyou! just incredible
Lovely feedback to get Teresa, thank you 🙏
Thanks for sharing another one of your lovely films.
You’re very welcome Richard, glad you enjoyed it and as always I appreciate your feedback very much.
Holy god Robin! That was fantastic - wonderful images and varying angles, how many cameras have you on the go!?!? The editing was just gorgeous..I was transfixed! I have my visitor from NZ over again and we both thoroughly enjoyed watching that. I hope your father is doing ok..not exactly sure what was happening in the supporting scenes of the driving between places but it certainly allowed for a healing cure no doubt! A beautiful tribute for your Dad…such amazing locations, hidden gems available to us all when we take some turns off the road to check places out. That really was brilliant Robin - for an amateur movie - when the regular job runs its course you’ll have plenty to occupy yourself with and create!! So bloody good!! 👏😎
Ah Miriam, there is an enthusiasm in what you have written here that fills me with a grin that runs a good bit deeper than the surface. Very special to receive this from someone who both understands the process but also the prize in this type of exploring. Furthermore someone who also does a really great job of this type of story telling. In the earlier days you were an early voice in giving the newbie a leg up. I’m pleased as well to hear that your NZ visitor is evidently a reciprocating part of your own much evolved story. Thats a happy story and certainly worth a second grin.
A lot of the bits in between camps were just getting things sorted for my Dad. Changes needed around the house and things like that. The three siblings from the sibling camp last year were stronger than ever in this endeavour.
I used two GoPros, an iPhone 12 Pro and a Mavic 2zoom drone for all the footage in this video. My poor computer was wheezing and puffing at the amount of cards I filled so much so that I actually lost my most precious footage. Still, my profession teaches me much of redundancy, and so I still had enough to tell the tale.
@@VISTATREKKER great to hear of the family unit working together 😊 So glad the redundancy was in place also 🤩
260k, she's nearly run in now Robin!
You watched to the end😅 thank you for watching. Yes I reckon she is run in now. Lovely purr of that V6. No music would beat it with the window down and pulling a bit of a load to get the turbo singing to the beat.
Brilliant again, so much work put into this video. I love your videos. Wouldn't it be great to see those mountains were full of native Irish trees again?
Thank you, always means a lot from those who know the work it takes.
Well… with the price of wool where it is I don’t think there will be many more generations of sheep farmers, you never know.
@@VISTATREKKER We can have both sheep and trees.
Thank you for the share and support for the Channel, that’s a really heartfelt thank you. I love that spirit among fellow Irish UA-camrs. Miriam Kennedy did this too. It’s one that I both appreciate and will also adopt myself whenever I may have the influence to give a leg up to the next one to come along and tell a story.
@@VISTATREKKER Miriam commented on my channel too when I was still based in Dublin. She really supports the smaller channels which is always nice to see. We need to take a leaf from that book.
Brilliant video, huge effort! We started a channel called west Cork wander last year. The place is amazing down here. When our house is renovated I plan to camp and explore like yourself. Perhaps on some of the islands too!! I hope you get passed 1000 subs soon and U start earning some petrol money. U put in a lot of effort and I suspect it won't be long till your channel takes off. Thanks from another Robin with another 2005 Disco 3 😊
I just found your Channel Robin. I look forward to looking into your content. Man you’ve been busy!. Wow, I see I will not be the first to find your content either😂🙌. You’re doing great.
I really hope it’s well on its way to being a supporting part of your life away from the rat race.
Pleasure to watch as always Robin.
Thank you kindly Sir, a bit longer than usual but seems to have worked anyway.
Your movie is splendid and your voice « en adéquation avec vos images « thanks
Thank you sincerely. Each comment and every piece of feedback steers the next edit, so I appreciate it. Thats how I learn this craft.
Oh my god tell me about it,even when I decide that's it !!I better head home now I still end up going up the wee lanes and tracks.Theres something great about sleeping in your truck and the early in the morning time😊,great shots there cheers for sharing.
Holidays should not be once a year. They should be stolen from every spare chance we can find. Life’s too short to wish away waiting for a far off time when there’s also chances to see things after work or wherever else you find your chance. Glad you enjoyed it and I think also understood it.
Agree with all you said
Thanks for watching and appreciate the feedback.
Stunning photography
Hi Carol, genuinely appreciate the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it and thank you.
Brilliant footage nicely done on the editing, great commentary really enjoyed the video thank you for sharing. Yes the WAW simply is incredible regardless the weather conditions. I definitely will leave a follow to see your next. See you on the trail 🧡
@@inkedgermanexplorer thank you. I always especially appreciate a comment from someone who also knows how much work goes into putting these things together.
Wow, I stumbled across this and started watching as you have a Disco (I have a Disco 4 with a roof tent) and wasn’t expecting anything as cinematic and thought provoking- thank you for putting this together and sharing. Heading to Wales for a long weekend, and ready for the headspace.
You’re very welcome, my pleasure. I love putting these together. The process itself provokes and condenses my own thoughts on places, times and events. Very much appreciate your feedback and that the end result resonates with a fellow Discovery roamer. Enjoy wales and especially the headspace.
Excellent content & commentary… Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey thank you so much, genuinely appreciate your feedback. Thats what steers the next one 👍👍
Superb , thoroughly enjoyed your video.
Thank you Brian, comments and support like this always steer and drive on the next one. Much appreciated.
Beautifully shot, edited and written dude 👊 organisation with your kit is key . I’m going down that way on a e-bike soon 🚵♂️ thanks for your video pal 👊🍀
Hey great to hear from you and thank you especially for your comment. Genuinely appreciated.
I just found your e-bike stuff and I look forward to following along there. Funnily enough I’ve been commuting to work on an e bike for a year now (3000km😎) and I’ve been wondering about its potential to go further. Range, charging and the logistics of that is interesting. Sometimes a vehicle is a hindrance in the hunt for a wild camp.
