- In the first Episode of my trip to Ireland I made my way from Germany heading for the Ferry port from Holyhead north Wales. The weather at first was typically british to say the least, but although the conditions were fairly challenging at times, I had a great days ride!

Did the wild Atlantic way in May this year 9 days and couldn't believe how lucky we timed it weather wise...91 % dry, we got lucky. 2773 kilometres average 308 per day. One of the best trips I've done... 3 of us in the group... love the videos hope you got the weather too
Weather gets much improved from here on in, although it was a wet one through The Gap of Dunloe. I did similar daily mileage, anymore than that, then it becomes a bit of a hog! Managed to clock up 4500km for the whole trip👍😜
@thelikeablerider8800 Savage going on the right bike too makes a big difference comfort and great fuel range
The Emerald Isle is emerald for a very good and rainy reason ! Be as safe as you can . Lovely. I'm following quietly . So far it's wet, wet, wet...
It all adds to the adventure!👍😜
A few weeks behind on watching this tour, but loving the positive vibes you got to have to ride in the UK summer.
Great vid
Thanks Ian, glad you enjoyed it. Plenty more to come👍😜
It looks like our trip through west Canada 🇨🇦. Cold and wet 🥶👍
Thanks, enjoyed the video, shame about the weather, gutted that we didn't get to see you struggling with a tent. Thought you lot enjoyed a bit of a bivvy 😉
The weather does get better throughout the series, although I do enjoy challenging conditions👍😜
One of the reasons i love my airflow seat cover. The structure lets the water just keep on going so it doesn't pool. Think mine is called airflow but similar brand is coolcovers.
Wouldn't help the crotch puddles though I'd imagine😆
@@thelikeablerider8800 I think it would actually. It's a kinda mesh structure so air and water gets trough just fine underneath you and since the air is moving you don't get the ye old sweaty crotch either. So unless your gathering water ontop of your crotch... :P
It's absolutely amazing in the summer and when it gets abit cold i just whack on the heated seat and haven't noticed any problems with having a cold bum either.
Well done ploughing through that rain, you had me laughing, toured Scotland mid May and the weather was stunning, not a drop of rain and 20 degrees plus most of the time,
hope you enjoyed Ireland, you might have missed the best bits though, bit like Scotland , you have to go where the tourists don't go. Looking forward to the next video.
I definitely had some amazing days riding, I'm sure I didn't miss it all!😜
"Racing To A Red Light".... great track and so appt....!!!!!
Great vid thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Good effort. Looking forward to the next episode
Welcome Shaun, good to see you on tour again, you look happy and confident on the Triumph, ride saf safe and enjoy.
Was an utter treat to tour on, should have made the jump far earlier!
You did the cat and fiddle! One of the best roads around till they put cameras on it. Used to be a race to the inn at the top.
Was carnage.
Nice vid as per ☔️
I can imagine it was quite the location, amazing road with a pub at the top. What's not to like🤘😎
looking forward to all the tour mate Good old Blighty pissing down as usual
The weather only got better from here on in🤘😎
Welcome to our summer-Stay safe and have a good trip.👍😥
Hasn't been any better here in Germany m8. Let's hope for a long summer and a hosepipe ban!👍🤣
👍
Hi, new subscriber here,
Great video and lovely scenery
I’ve got Ireland on my to do list.
Hi, Welcome
Thanks for popping past👍😎
Yeah bit wet but awesome scenery
Great vid Shaun 👍🏻 love the fact your still smiling and loving it,even in the monsoon of a typical British summer👍🏻🤣 glad your loving the Triumph and no Preparation H required 🤣👍🏻 ride safe buddy 🏍️💨💨💨
It's important to stay positive👍🤣 The weather only gets better from here on in😜
@@thelikeablerider8800 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤣🤣👍🏻
Amazing video.
If only I could watch it in 4k. .thanks for the effort for a great job ☺ 🏆😊
Filming constantly in 4k for two weeks solid would take up a massive amount of storage space, that's why I went with good old fashioned 1080p👍😜
Weather looked standard :D Welcome home Shaun :D oh and ride on the left!
Was definitely a wet one👍😜
Nice one Shaun, what absolute crap weather, looking forward too this trip👌 take it easy out there...Regards Glenn.👍
I still enjoyed the day in the rain, although that would have been different if it had been cold.
Proper UK weather☔️☔️, did the WAW 2018 and it averaged 24 degrees, only one shower from Belfast to Tralee and home to Northumberland, happy days👍.
PS. Never give a bike gas over a cattle grid, even in the dry it can be interesting, occupational hazard on my local roads😆
The weather got much better later on in the tour👍😎
@@thelikeablerider8800 Friends have been over there recently, wall to wall sunshine😎🏍👍
The 20 limit is widespread in Wales but it’s also spreading across England and Scotland as well.
Disastrous idea!🤦♂️
@@thelikeablerider8800 seems to be spreading to Austria as the Grossglockner is now a 70km/h limit
@cport955 was up there a couple years ago, and there's also speed cameras🤦♂️ thb I don't mind it too much, as the views are spectacular, so not always the need to spank it up over the top👍😜
Good thing too. Safer, and traffic flows more smoothly. Welsh whiners will whine, of course.
Hi Shaun cracking video again look forward to the rest. Unfortunately most of the UK are stealthily introducing the 20MPH schemes & bringing in 50 MPH to replace the 60MPH Stay safe all the best
20 mph is definitely a tad too slow! Past schools okay, but then one draws the line!
Welcome to the shittest weather we’ve had for years! I did my first short tour of Wales a month ago and yes, all small villages are 20mph but in between it’s 50 or 60. Heading back on the last day the weather went from sunshine to “end of time” rain like I was spat out of Wales. Still loved my two days riding there and there must be routes that avoid some of the 20mph villages..
As I said, I don't mind a good challenging ride in the rain! Weather has been much the same here in Germany over the last 6 months, but I'm sure they'll still be a hosepipe ban in a couple months!🤣🤣
You missed the welcome to wales sign as you were flying along at 20mph! Could do better, must try harder, great vid Shaun, looking forward to the next wet one!!🥴🥴
There aren't many more wet ones to come, weather drastically improved later on👍😜
Yep had a few (loads) rides like that this year in the UK, its been nothing but a washout, been that bad I've only tax'd one of my bike and shows no sign of getting any better. Hope you like rain, you're not even in Ireland yet! lol
I did alright tbh, think there's only one more wet one to come. I had mostly dry and sunny later on👍😜
That's correct, you can't use heated grips with waterproof gloves... The way it works is disrupted by the heat. So don't get rid of those gloves just yet ;)
Strange how my trousers didn't leak with the heater seat on, although they could be reinforced.
Well, at least you didn’t book a tour on the open top bus 😆! Now it might seem counter intuitive, but I find using “cool covers” on the seat ends up being warmer because the rain water drains off and doesn’t leave you sitting in cold “pond water” 😉. Now if someone has the solution for dry gloves and heated grips, I’m all ears 🤨!
Yeah it's a strange one. I had the heated seat on and the water didn't soak through, that wouldn't have been pleasant🤣
Just come back from 10 days in the Pyrenees and Picos and not had a drop of rain. The only rain I experienced was in the UK going to Portsmouth and coming back from Portsmouth!!! That's been the UK for the last 9 months - cold, wet and miserable.
Any reason why you didn't change your speedo to mph?
Looking forward to watching the rest of the trip. 👍
Only changed it on the Sat Nav👍
wet weather touring 🎉🎉🎉, until you to wett and cold, sucks,
Yeah, that's never a good combination 😕
Weather is awful this year . Worth the trip for the real Guinness.
I did enjoy a few of those👍🍺
You should of asked Mr vida for a good route through peak district. Ps the weather's been shit so far this year 😢
You can't really go wrong there, it's all really good👍😜
Did it rain much ;-)
Just a tad🤣
Nice to see you on the road again. Down here in the 'sunny' South West it started raining about November and finally packed it in during May... I sh*t you not. As for cars crawling along. I live a stone's throw from Cheddar Gorge and have never figured out why people try to drive through the gorge while trying to look at it. I mean they can't see 95% of the thing because they have a roof! Just got home from a week riding in North Wales.... that 20mph thing quickly gets old.
It really was a disastrous winter! Let's hope it isn't a short summer because of that!
Winnats Pass, Peak District?
Yes indeed, great little pass👍😜
Absolute rubbish weather, hopefully you checked the speed limit in parts of wales 🏴 it it’s down to 20mph 😢
Yes I happened upon plenty of those limits in Wales later on, along with that average speed camera nonsense!
@@thelikeablerider8800 You will be getting 30kph zones in German cities as well. Get over the knee jerk opposition and you will find joining the rest of the world is a good thing (I was one of the knee-jerks!). At 30kph, traffic flows more steadily, less stop and start. Also nicer for pedestrians, residents, kids, tourism. On your travels, ask people in the areas with long-established 30kph zones and the only few who complain are the BMW drivers who overtake in school zones "because freedom"
Wales is 20mph but talk of changing it back too 30mph welcome to good old British weather 😀looking forward to to the rest of the f the series mate 👍
Seems not to have gone down well with the locals! If they hadn't been painted over, I heard that people removed them altogether 🤣
Welsh folk whining... nothing changes.
You struck lucky riding the Cat & Fiddle in the sunshine and when it was empty of traffic, quite possibly the best riding road in England. Has been v dangerous for bikers over the years though.
Used to take full size tour coaches through that arch in Conwy regularly, was fun. The 20 limit has gone down like a bucket of cold sick, we can only live in faint hope it will be short lived.
It really was a belter of a road👍😜
20 zones are also in some of England, they are so dangerous on a bike, ive found that if I'm doing 20ish I'm guaranteed to have a car or van up my backside all the way through. What is it with some car drivers where they will do 40 amywhere? 40 in the 60 but then also 40 in the 20/30! 🤯
20mph is only in wales mate. All thanks to that bellend dickford! Ruined loads of our local riding spots in south wales
Sounds like a top bloke! Seems to have gone down really well with the locals, who paint over them, or ripped them out altogether 👍🤣
@thelikeablerider8800 🤣🤣 he's the most hated man in wales. They're reviewing it now about putting most roads back to 30mph and just keeping 20mph outside schools ect which I haven't got a problem with. Looking forward to the rest of Ireland vids 👍
@andrewhey84 I agree, outside schools isn't a problem at all!
Bull, Andy. Most civilised countries have 20 zones in small towns and streets and the data explains why. But Welsh whiners will whine about them being victims. Whiny victim culture strikes again. Why are modern Walsh guys such whiners?
