    I found your channel through Carol and Ken’s channel and have been binge watching your Ireland series since. As an Irish person I have to say thank you for painting Ireland in such a good light. Your positivity and enjoyment, even when faced with the worst of Irish weather, is really impressive!!

      Well I am glad you found us and that we have represented your country well and we have shown it as we found it. For us the changeable weather is great as it shows the landscape and villages off at its best
      We have a few more to go but we will be back as we must do the north so hopefully you will enjoy the rest of the channel. We strive to improve our content and Ken and Carol are beacons with respect to that

    During a visit to Ireland my friend and I accidentally wandered onto Conor pass at midnight in a rain storm… in a small suv at a crawling pace prayed al the way, a terrifying yet beautiful adventure ! God bless your journey!

    One of my back windows shattered during a strong wind storm in Northern Scotland last autumn, probably the same that hit you hard in Ireland! As Stu mentionned a quick fix was in order, duct tape, lots of duct tape, grocery shopping bag and bin bags were very useful. I spent the night at a hotel... 😅

    • @getawaygeese
      @getawaygeese  Рік тому +1

      Yes it probably was the same storm passing through - that must of been frightening when it shattered - duct tape fixes everything oh as well as a bag for life lol 😂

    Love your videos guys, thanks for all your kind words regarding Ireland but you are not the first that have mentioned the lack of bins about the country which is a shame really but you have shown us parts of our country we have never seen before, so thanks for that and keep up the fabulous work.

      Glad you enjoy them and we have shown you how we found it - we finally cracked the bins in that you just have to store it and go to a waste site - just wish there were more local areas so we could get rid of rubbish more frequently even if they expand those big yellow paid skips

    Wow, what a great video. I'm from Ireland and when I watched this video I kept thinking how mystical Ireland looks. I love the wildness of it all and the nature. You managed to show it off so well. I think you were wise not to try and continue over the pass. I hope that you are not getting too depressed by the rain. But, the weather is looking up so enjoy the rest of your stay in Ireland. Thanks for showing Ireland in such a positive light. I noticed those Tayto bags in the van ! and I have to say, I loved that pub you were in.

      The films are running behind and we are home now - they take ages to produce and as you see we had loads of them. The trip was amazing as every day we had weather extremes that really shows off Ireland
      We plan on coming back next year and will visit the North

    Hi guys. That pub looked brilliant. You’d have had to drag us out of it if we were there in that storm lol. Although there is something reassuring and comforting about listening to the rain on the van when you’re all cozy inside. Fab park up too, shown off by some fine drone footage. Take care x
