    You were braver than us going up Slieve League! Funny how there’s always something new to discover living in a campervan. Love the new office set up.
    The veggie pudding looked good ❤️👍

    TY for another great episode. Here in the north of Ireland we have vegetable roll which cant be beaten. We have never seen in in the south. Looking forward to the next instalment. 😃

    I admire your sense of adventure. We have been to Ireland twice and were astounded by it`s beauty. You guys look so cozy in the van. I look forward to each and every one of your videos.

    I’m a backpacker and a trick I’ve used is to layer an industrial weight nitrile glove under my regular gloves. I use Venom Steel brand (Amazon). These are great in cold weather since it’s a vapor barrier, and they’re bomb proof as long as you can stand a little pruning in exchange for warmth on a long hike. I’ve also had success w a pair of lightweight rain mitts as an overglove used w my regular gloves on shorter day hikes when it’s not crazy cold.

    We definitely want to explore the WAW but avoiding the crowds of summer. The off season looks so soggy though!
    Maybe Easter....?
    Thanks for sharing N&Nx

      Off season is great although somethings shut down so you haven’t got to go off season too aggressively like us lol 😂

    Next time you're in Ireland, try the legendary 'Jumbo breakfast roll'. So famous, that someone once wrote a song about it. You'll either love it, or end up in casualty. Joking of course 😊

      What goes on on the road stays on the road lol - each utensil is more washing up 😂
      Well dotted though bad habits stay with me - mind you Jane is as bad as me at home on that one

    I didn’t realise your drivers chair was a swivel. In Wanda I have the front seats facing each other and sit with my feet up watching the world go by. It’s a good job you have so many hooks. Take care Gill

      Yes we rarely turn it around but occasionally it gives even more room in the van

    Criminal putting milk in your tea first 😂,I’ve been up sleive league on numerous occasions in blazing sunshine would you believe it’s absolutely stunning . Great videos by the way .👍

    • @getawaygeese
      @getawaygeese  Годину тому

      God it was cold ! But definitely worth it. Must be stunning in summer. I was on the right side of the tea/milk situation when i met Stew but I went to the dark side 😱. Stew is adamant he can tell the difference by taste as to which order the milk goes in - I have put this to the test many times and I'm not sure he can 😂. Jane

      @ Defs the sleive league is stunning when the sun is out ,was up there 2years ago and we had an amazing display of the northern lights, just magical .you need to have an attitude adjuster at hand when stew makes the tea 😂😂😂😂

    The Fatface jumper was a good purchase, Stew always has it on! This is not a criticism... I have one too, very warm! 😉👍🏻

      @getawaygeese  5 годин тому

      Funny as Im sat reading this in a fat face jumper Stew bought me 18 years ago 😂😂. I dont think they make them like they used to though as I've had others since that didnt last as long. It'll be a sad day when I have to part with this jumper lol Jane

    I had that problem with the kettle, so now I us a tea strainer to catch the bits.
    Oh no, I don't think I would like bread and marmalade with the pudding 🤔
    I do like chocolate hobnobs though 😂😂
    Take care 👍 🐸

    • @getawaygeese
      @getawaygeese  16 годин тому

      You need to try it as that how they showcase it at the factory - it’s pretty good
      Yep we discovered that we needed more water but a tea strainer is a good fix
      Stay safe and thanks for watching

    If going to visit Galway, park up at the pier in Spiddal. It's a little village in a Gaeltach area, so you'll hear everyone speaking Irish, and there is good music and song in the pubs. "Local Link" bus runs to and from Galway every hour or so. Galway City council have made it illegal to park a campervan overnight in the majority of the urban area.

      Another good one guys and as for gloves, have you looked at Sealskin, think that's how it's spelt. I used them when fishing, very good.

    • @getawaygeese
      @getawaygeese  15 годин тому +1

      Thanks for watching you will see we get to Galway but they were making you feel not wanted which is a shame and a loss for those that are respectful
      I will mark that place down if we go back again

      Thanks yep when it’s 63 night adventure and takes two days each episode to produce for a weekly episode plus life we get a natural backlog - difficult to know what to do and live a life lol
      But hopefully this time if the year it inspires the journey to Ireland
