    Talk about cutting it close! You should’ve gotten a beer after that little adventure! 😂
    But the scenery out there was amazing. I really liked the spy story at the end too. Thanks for sharing!

    I`m sat here chuckling to myself as you`re on almost zero fuel, Tomtom shows all fuel sations 😄😄 Then I was sat here shouting at you, "the pumps are on the road behind those vehicles" !!! Loved the series Dave 😇

    Another super video. I'm sure that most of us could share an experience of almost running out of petrol., but yours was literally on fumes. The gas gods were with you for sure. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋‍♂️

    I’m nearly 100% sure Richy Vida put his drone up over that waterfall definitely once possibly twice when he was doing his WAW videos. That’s another great WW2 fact for the memory bank Dave, there’s so many little stories of people doing small things that made big a difference for our freedoms today

    • @WheelieGoodTV
      @WheelieGoodTV  2 роки тому +1

      I’ll take the mick out of Richy for that. I suppose asking for forgiveness is easier than permission in a scenario like that. Thanks again for watching Trevor.

    Was there myself back in May. Was at Kielder Forest and pulled into Bellingham services, It closed 5 minutes before my arrival. Sat nav pointed me to a petrol station that didn't exist. 7km is what is left after the bars go on the GS. Ran out heading to Kielder petrol station. Had to order a taxi to get me to Kielder petrol station. That cost me £80 in total

      I know those services in Bellingham. That turned out to be an expensive fill. 😟🏍

    Hi Dave, Great scenery made even better by your chat. Really enjoyed the local history segments as they can bring a purpose to the ride out. Glad you didn't have to push the GS, and you also brought through the excitement (panic?) of running out of fuel in the middle of nowhere. We have all been there. You must have great will power to avoid the pub after the stress!😇

    I could sense the tension here Dave, the fear of running out of fuel was real. But at 13:55 in when you're looking at the waterfall, I paused and asked the wife when we were at this same location. I was so confident I was there before, to then be told I am remembering a time with another woman. After some time I realised I was never here but I remember this from Dicky Vegas (aka Richy Vida) when he was in Ireland the first time, and I am pretty sure he had his drone up.

    • @WheelieGoodTV
      @WheelieGoodTV  Рік тому

      🤣🤣🤣 I’m sorry if I landed you in trouble there Dominic! I remember Rich doing his Ireland tour but I must check his vids again and see if it’s the same one. Yes that was a close call with the fuel.🤯😮‍💨

    Dave I refuelled at those pumps 2 years ago. One of the most awkward pumps to fill at that I ever used because of the slopes on the ground!!!

    • @WheelieGoodTV

    Brilliant as always Dave, with such an amazing story to tell! The more I hear about WW2, there were so many unsung hero's that avoided us from speaking German today.
    Could be wrong but I think our bikes hold 20 litres, but even so, very little to spare!

    Love that part two. Brought back some fond memories. I see you are using a cradle for your phone….is that the BMW Connected one? Juts noticed you’re using a usb lead. I’ve got the cradle and it sometimes charges wirelessly but other times not so I use a usb too.
    Have you been to Glandalough? Fantastic little cafe there

    • @WheelieGoodTV
      @WheelieGoodTV  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks Mark. The cradle is an Amazon cheapie (link below) but works superb as I prefer my phone for navigation. Yeah been to Glendalough many times but they don’t like drones so have it a miss this time.

    Another great video Dave, the barrenness of the Sally Gap has a beauty all its own, and we had the fuel drama and a little history lesson thrown in for good measure. Did you tip out through Glendalough while you were out that way?

    • @WheelieGoodTV
      @WheelieGoodTV  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks Dylan. I didn’t bother with Glendalough only because it’s been done to death and the video took a 16 hr day to complete anyway so I ran out of time too. I loved it though. Back soon so will give you a shout for a spin out.

    A bit of a problem of that Untapped Mekka is that from the EU mainland it takes 1 boat, a trip trough the UK, another boat and then u can drive around in Ireland. And to go home again the 2 boats and trip trough the UK. It is VERY expencive..

    Your fuel anxiety would be alleviated with a GSA. Gas ..Sally Gap was never busier during the lockdown, they had to station Garda at glencree to stop the pilgrimage. It was like every coffee shop que only on a larger scale 😂
