Show Video

[Music] join us on an adventure through the  stunning Landscapes of Ireland experienced   the breathtaking views of Rolling Green Hills  historic castles and rugged coastlines as we   wind our way through this charming country the  scen roads of Island provide the perfect backdrop   for a thrilling and Unforgettable motorcycle  experience our adventure commences in England   and Wales before Crossing into Dublin over the  course of 7 days we'll Traverse Island's southern   and western coastlines finally concluding  the journey with an exploration of Northern Ireland [Music] so this is day number four of the tour and  just to kind of wrap up um the previous few   days which were just mostly trying to get to  Ireland Sebastian and I met up in Rotterdam   to take the ferry across from Rotterdam to Hall  in England that's an overnight ferry so you get   there the next morning and if you really want  to speed it up you can actually make it on the   same day to another fair that will take you to  Dublin so you can get to Dublin on day number   two at the end of day number two we didn't do  that we went to Wales and took a little detour   after we left the F in Hall and just kind of  enjoyed the sidonian National Park which is   quite nice then we stay the night in uh close  to Holy head which is the ferry port that will   take you to Dublin it's a 3-hour ferry ride it's  a large Fair that will then take you to Dublin we   ski Dublin entirely this is not the kind of trip  to do sseeing in the city it's worth visiting of   course but uh we made sure we got out of that  place as quickly as possible and then went to   the wicko mountain range uh which is really close  to Dublin so that gave us a glimpse of what we   are likely to see in the next few days traveling  Ireland and Scotland and yeah a few clips of that [Music] the wicko mountains form the largest continuous  Upland area in Ireland they occupy the whole   Center County Wicklow and stretch outside its  border into the counties of Dublin Wexford and carel where the mountains extend into County  Dublin they're known locally as the Dublin [Music] mountains so after we saw the wicko mountains  there was a good section of just straight roads   to get us to our location of last night uh which  is kind of off the beaten path a little bit and uh   we had an early night uh slept a long time because  we're still tired from the Journey of getting here   so this is a full day today of just traveling  smaller roads and we'll be entering the wild   Atlantic highway is going to take us clockwise  around the island uh of Ireland all the way to   Northern Ireland and so we're going to do the  first section of that we'll be getting to the   coastline today and then just kind of making  a way up um clockwise around the island the   weather forecast is a bit mixed hopefully it's  going to stay like this here today um the sun's   kind of peeking out a little bit um yesterday we  had a lot of rain so our clo were still damp this morning but overall there is um a good amount  of rain in the forecast so that's kind of to   be expected when you come here despite the fact  that we have early August right now so guys this   is where we are right now this is cork where we  up points too and so we're just about Northeast   of cork and we're going to make our way to Cork  now and there should be a nice Castle AR Castle   I think so the weather stays like this we finally  get to see one in yesterday we passed one and it   was boring rain so didn't really have a look at  it and then after that we'll make our way down   to the coast the southern coast and so be the  whing highway which technically starts further   up I think with what for is somewhere here but  that part of stretch look very exciting so going   to enter it um just south of fourth we have  Sunshine so it's the first Sunshine we see in   in Ireland like this at least Blue Sky sunshine  you can see the roads is still wet uh as it was   raining here everywhere that's really cool the  the tree line I mean it goes all the way to the   road and you've got this like almost tunnel  cut in here for all the vehicles so with the   first 100 km on the clock we're hitting our first  sort of site which is the uh BL castle and Gardens   of to see our first sight the Blarney Castle buy  tickets to get in um you can see it from here but   uh let's get this done before it starts raining  again and we got a nice ice cream cone [Music] too [Music] 0:05:59.640,1193:02:47.295 [Music] so we're really close to the ocean and this is  the weather we're in uh just like low hanging   clouds with uh yeah some visibility but it's  really foggy you can't really see very far so   we're not going to be able to see much uh once  we actually make the coastline I think but it   does look kind of cool it's got the certain  mood to it when it's uh so foggy just won't   be able to see much of the coast I suppose but  we'll see uh we'll be there in a few kilometers   so this is our first site here where you can  see you can't see anything at the moment it's uh say again okay okay golfer [Music] oh yeah here come oh wow wow W yo we're going alongside the coastline which is  quite impressive to stand there and just look down   and the visibility is pretty low right now it's a  bit of a shame but I guess you have to expect that   when you come to Ireland that the weather is going  to be like this uh a better part of the time but   we'll have a few more days here so there's going  to be a few days where it's hopefully not like   this we'll continue our journey on got another 190  to go at that pace it's going to take us a while   so estimate time risal is 5:30 again so these are  long day that we're riding we started out with 350   km to go and um we still have a good part of it to  go but it's really hard to see put the thighs up   that's better so we're back on really small roads  single tracks he's got like we patches in the   middle here you don't want to get on those because  I'm sure they're very slippery so we barely had   any dry road conditions been continuously raining  or drizzling for the entire day so far check it   out so there's some water finally so visibility  has improved a tiny bit we can finally see [Music] something we're pretty wet now both of us uh even  me with my gortex it's water is seeping   in the gloves are wet now so we've got  another hour to get back to the hotel   so we're skipping a couple of points which we  would have done at nicer weather but [Music] now chips good one bottle [Music] later another day uh we're in a  small town on the wild Atlantic   High way I think it's called bit of a late start today 330 km to go today and since we were riding  into rain yesterday for most of the time all my   stuff is still wet uh the place didn't have  a hair dryer sometimes that's a good way to   just you know get the remaining moisture out of  your clothes so my gloves are wet um the jacket   is still pretty damn the only thing that's dry  is my boots because got these like boot dryers   in there um that help they Tred to use them  on the gloves that doesn't really work yeah   so I hope this is going to stay dry for a little  longer today maybe then closer and the helmet is   way too which is kind of disgusting get new wet  helmets it'll be along the coastline today we'll   be um seeing a lot of water hopefully um if the  weather conditions are like [Music] this [Music] so nice to actually see this in the sunlight  after we're had such a rainy day yesterday so   now we're in the last few few kilometers on one of  those sort of half Islands fingers that are poking   out into the sea whoa there's definitely  gravel on the road I just hit a patch of [Music] gravel [Music] sheep heads Peninsula is a Hidden Gem  on Ireland's southwest coast and one   of the most unspoiled areas in Ireland  sheep set as the smallest and the least   visited of the five peninsulas  on the wild Atlantic [Music] way [Music] I should let go [Music] I  [Music] the road leading to sheep's   head Peninsula is an exciting Adventure  in itself it twists and turns throughout   the picturesque Countryside revealing  a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean as you wind along the anticipation  bills and when you finally reach your   Peninsula the dramatic Cliffs and Serene  Beauty unfold making the journey truly memorable [Music] [Music] I should let [Music] go I should let go so we just are returning from our first sight  and Viewpoint and it's quite nice on the way back   too so the weather's still stable for now no  rain it's quite windy though and we've got a   couple more like that coming up we're kind  of slow today I mean we just got about 30   km 10% of the route and it's um 11:00 now it  doesn't matter if it gets tight in the end we   can cut the route short it's not a problem but  some other Germans I haven't really seen many   bikers here yet so this road has been going on  for quite some time offering this spectacular view we are on the Ring of Vera and that orange  yellowish arrow and so we're going to make all   all the way down to the end of the tip then I  come back up again and it's definitely a lot   faster ride than some of the roads that we did  yesterday with much smaller roads where uh you   know also there's less traffic there's more places  to pass which is great cuz on those smaller back   roads it's really hard to see and there are just  short sections of sort of straight section so you   can finally pass Vehicles so that really slows  down your travel this seems to be a relatively   fast Road and that's a nice uh change of pace so  we're still on the Ring of bar and the scenery is   starting to get a bit more interesting it's quite  a long trip out here with those all Rings the ring   of carry is probably the one that's better  known uh that's on the uh list for tomorrow   it's prob the Lesser known ring a bear same idea  just goes out and goes around in Loop and yeah   we've been on this for a while we're very close  to the Western tip I think we made it as far as   we could to the Ring of bear this is the most  western tip and uh behind me is an island and   you used to be able to go across with a cable car  which is uh not in very good shape right now it's   not operational fixing it at the moment but yeah  you get a pretty good view of the Atlantic Ocean   it's quite nice here there is not and now we're  heading back and there was a fishing chips place um I want to check that out get  something to eat it is uh 1:00 now so long trip we stopped at the uh fish  and chips place it's behind this food   truck and they get four different kinds  of fish in fresh every day so I'm quite   excited about we got an awesome view um  we're not making any progress today I'm   just hanging out enjoying the view  and eating good food that's what we do [Music] the Ring of Bara holds  a special lure with its rugged   0:17:58.840,1193:02:47.295 [Music] charm and natural [Applause] [Music] beauty  this 140 km long SC Coastal Drive in Ireland   offers a quieter more authentic experience  compared to its famous counterpart the   Ring of [Music] carry along the way you'll  discover Untamed Landscapes ancient ruins   colorful Villages and stunning ocean panoramas  that create unique and Unforgettable [Music] Journey [Music] so I suppose the heat pass is one of the high  elevations that you can access in this part   of the island at least on the motorized  vehicle at just under 300 m above sea   level which is high you know we start off  at sea level it's amazing see these like   overgrown Hedges and the trees and the  crappy visibility that comes along with it but the road's good it's an exellent  shape so I wonder if we're going to   clear the trees here pretty soon and  then let's go Mountain world of the [Music] [Applause] [Music] Bower the Healey pass is a musty destination  for motorcycle riders and offers a unique   Road experience this winding Mountain  Pass offers a journey like no other in Ireland taking you through changing Landscapes  that shift from Lush valleys to Rocky [Music] [Music] Heights [Music] the he pass was created in 1847 during the  famine years in order to help prevent starvation it is named after time Michael Healey  a politician from Cork who served as   the first governor general of the first Irish  free [Music] state the he pass is usually not   very busy with tourist with so many visitors  flocking to the Dingle way in the ring of kry   the be peninsulas often overlooked it's also  worth mentioning that the pass where located   in the vicinity of the Ring of Bara is not  technically part of that driving circuit [Music] the HEI pass reaches an an elevation of  2988 M at its peak while it might not   reach the Towering Heights of many Alpine  roads such as those found in the Swiss or   French Alps it holds its own charm  with a nice change of pace on this [Music] trip [Music] wild Atlantic way so  we're on the right route the   healing pass was quite a surprise  we don't really expect a proper   mountain pass in Ireland especially on  the downhill side it was really really cool these are awesome just away off the beaten path just this is price sleep this pass was one  of my favorite passes on this entire [Music] trip on trips like these I really  enjoy the smaller Backcountry roads [Music] price sleep is a mountain pass  in Ireland it is located on the   border between the counties of cork and Kerry the single trick World overpriced  leap is very narrow partially with a soft   surface and a green strip in the center  and a very steep section north of the summit the pass reaches an elevation of 463 m and   offers birth takak views of the  surrounding valleys and [Music] [Applause] Hills so we made it for the better part of the  day without rain and now it's Notting the rain   on the last 90 km we got left that sucks so  it looks like the Ring of Carry has DED up   a little bit the p so we uh just stopped for  coffee this is like a campground or something   it's quite nice actually this little Bay here  and it's another 50 km to get to the hotel   and it's going to take about 40 minutes to get  there it's definitely a very Scenic part of the island the Ring of carry C's cooking oh it smells like um ocean I mean what the [Music] people [Music]   what a beautiful morning so we  have an early start today it's   8:00 local time and we'll be taking  a ferry across that Water Gap there   and it just got to the other side so  I guess we'll have to wait [Music] here so onto the ferry we go all the [Music] wait I can pay this together together  yeah one way it's one way yeah one way so guys uh we just made it onto the short  fairy to just get across this uh 2 km Water   Gap uh that saves about 10 or 15 minutes of  riding and it's a cool experience I mean this   just goes to the other side stays there for  a couple minutes loads and unloads does this   every day all day long uh yeah it's pretty  cool um yeah you see in the background this   is where we were staying last night a tiny  little sort of Harbor Town was pretty cool   um the place is quite a happening place too so  today we're going to do the Ring of carry we did   the first part of it yesterday and we can do  the remaining part uh this morning hopefully   avoiding uh the masses of tourists that you can  expect here uh that's at least what I read about   that this is the most popular area in Ireland  so having an early start is going to help us   plus it's kind of a long day today um if things  go well we'll be hitting the Beach uh that's a   beach where you can take your motorcycle  onto the beach uh that should be really cool cool nice easy nice and easy what a beautiful  day yeah there's something to be said about   leaving earlier in the day it's quite nice when  it's so so calm some of these placees have quite   a bit of traffic I was quite Amazed by how many  cars and squeeze to small town some traffic jams   in the middle of nowhere really so we're going to  make a few um miles now and then I'm sure we'll   find a place to have breakfast it's going to be  late breakfast but some of these places serve   breakfast so late that if that determines the time  schedule it really sucks so um yeah we decided to going [Music] what isn't this here ah [Music] this yeah so we're heading up to one of the main tourist  attractions gap of dunow the wishing Bridge yeah   you can see it here tourists are getting  brought up by horse carriage because buses   are not allowed up here and the guy at  the S said that it gets really crazy in   about half an hour so if you want to beat the  crowd uh it's better to go now we're hoping   for a little better weather to let the Drone  fly I'm not sure if this is going to be good   enough but you see there's all this wor [ __ ]  it's very slippery on the [Applause] [Music] road Legend has it that the throne Bridge  nestled within the gap of dle possesses   magical powers those who cross the bridge are  granted a wish provided they're making the   wish without speaking a word until they're  safely crossed to the other [Music] side [Music] the gap of dunow was formed during the last  ice age this picturesque glacia Valley was   carved by retreating ice and subsequent  melt water historically the gap of dunow   has been a significant route for locals and  travelers alike it served as a crucial trade   route between the regions of Kerry and the  black [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Valley [Music] for me the Journey Through The  Gap of duno was the most stunning Scenic ride   of this entire trip where every Twist and Turn  unveiled breathtaking visors that left a lasting memory [Music] well there was a great start into the  day it's only 10:40 at the moment and   we already have the first 100 km  under a belt and it's a nice mix   of smaller roads nature parks and some  of the faster boads like these really cool so after we made a lot of kilom this  morning we keep pulling over to just check   out the amazing views uh that you get here and  the road is kind of nice too or a change you   can actually see the road you know a couple  turns ahead which you can with all the hedges around that's beautiful here [Music] Ms Gap in Ireland is a Scenic  Viewpoint along the Ring of carry it's   situated at an elevation of around 260 m above sea level the twist ing road that leads to  mol Gap presents an accelerating Journey   featuring a slope of approximately  10° rendering a particularly ideal   for motorcycle enthusiasts seeking  both adventure and breathtaking [Music] [Music] scenery [Music] so this is a nice change of pace  a nice Mountain Road like you find   it in other places in Europe a bit  faster and a bit easier to see but   well of course it's been sort of  the occasional rain here but it's nice so lots of variety in today's tour from  so of the mountain passes Coastline national parks if things go well and the weather  plays along will be hitting the beach   as well oh there's inch Beach to our left  that little uh in other see that's Beach   and supposedly you can go there with motorized  [Music] vehicles so that be very curious what   the sand conditions are how that is on  the motorcycle and people are just on the beach that is uh weird and it's  busy too it's quite [Music] busy godam it riding my motorcycle along the beach  was a dream come true an experience that   had long been on my motorcycle bucket  list God inch Beach situated in the   southeast of ding Peninsula is one  of the most beautiful beaches in Ireland yes it sets this beach apart is its  unique possibility for mot vehicles to drive   and park on the beach itself making it a rarity  in Europe with such access is usually not [Music] allowed was okay despite the fact that it was relatively easy   to ride on the sand there are  those spots that have deeper sand yeah good who ah session [Music] yippee [Music] little town you can definitely tell  there's a lot more tourism in this area here   look at this looks quite nice actually so we  fueled up the bike and we washed them down cuz   we had lots of uh salty sand on the bikes from  a little Excursion to the beach now riding on   the beach that's always like a bucket list  item for me uh always something I wanted to   do there aren't many places in Europe where  you can take your motorcycle onto the beach   and just ride it along the beach now inch  Beach it's part of Ring of Dingle right after   go clockwise come from The Ring of carry and  go into next Peninsula that's where the inch [Music] beaches slay Head Drive  is considered one of Ireland's   most scenic routes as the road  follows the rugged Coastline   it unveils an amazing Panorama where the  Atlantic Ocean merges with the unspoiled [Music] landscape [Music] [Music] [Music] the drive takes you on the  journey through historic sites and   famous Hollywood filming locations  including the skallic islands on the   southwestern Horizon which featured  in the Star Wars episode 7 the force [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] awakens [Music] the Duncan Pier is  a picturesque Harbor on the western   edge of the Dingle Peninsula it serves as  a gateway to the dramatic blasket Islands   the pier offers an iconic view of the  rugged Coastline and the vast Atlantic Ocean the surrounding Cliffs and Rolling Hills  enhance the Pier's charm making it a favorite   spot for both locals and tourists for a glimpse  into Ireland's Coastal Beauty so we just saw   the Duncan Pier seems to be quite the tourist  attraction for some reason uh it's just a pier   going down the cliffs into the water and uh we  just sat on the cliffs had a coffee we're just   coming off the Conor pass and this side seems a  lot more interesting cuz it's much smaller of a   road the other one was just a fast Road I like  these better maybe not the most exciting PA to   go up and down but the view great we made it  to our accommodation location today for got   the name of the town um it's got in in there  so fast so 5:30 that's uh that's early for us and it's on the water which is great  and it's quite happening seems ice cream's popular so be staying or will be  staying at the bed and breakfast   and I guess there's plenty of  places to grab a bite to [Music] eat is man that's a brand new helmet just got it  a week ago almost was it like 8 years old or   something that has to be the most useful thing  to bring along is a roll of tape most beautiful   thing on this H yeah if you have a BMW you have  to bring two walls so that stuff when you go [Music] there it is 8:40 in the morning it says 9:40 so  C time so without us knowing we were witnessed   uh to quite the tragedy yesterday we saw a hel  helicopter coming in we didn't know what it was   um now today we know it was a Coast Guard  helicopter with two adults that drowned in   the ocean Apparently one of them went in was  struggling and then her brother came to help   and in the process they both passed away quite  sad made the national news this morning we saw   at the bed breakfast so anyway we've got about  a half an hour ride to a short Ferry about a 20   minute fairy it's going to shortcut uh today's  route a little bit the biggest highlight today   will be the Cliff of moh so that's um probably  the best known sort of cliffs in Ireland this is   our faery it's going to get us across in about  20 minutes oh I got a nice snack shop here how   cool yeah we met another biker from Italy so one  of the few bikers that we on this [Music] trip   hi good how are you I'm good you know you're  driving right to the very top here okay yeah   this is where you are yeah and at the G here  at the corner yeah follow that P up along and   you can park at the highest [ __ ] with the bike  with the bike oh that is awesome yeah very good   and it's 5 each each okay no problem so we're  we're here and we just go that way and Park up   here there oh wow room and then you can go for  a little walk to the left and you can say you've   seen the C mother perfect that's very good can  walk back to the very end and come back sounds   good and cool you're coming down oh coming down  okay all right thank you very much we get to   ride the bikes up all the way uh basically to  the top uh to see the Cliffs of moh that is   awesome so secet little tip don't take the uh big  parking lot the one exit one beforehand and then   uh you get to go all the way to the top which is  really cool the on it's we're not the only ones here yes [Music] Mega The Cliffs of moh stand as a magnificent  Showcase of Island's Coastal Beauty extending for   approximately 8 km along the Atlantic Coastline  these imposing Cliffs reach Heights up to 214 M rather they not the highest cliffs in Ireland  they're by far the most visited with 1.6 million   visitors in 2022 they're the second most visited  tourist attraction in irland after the Guinness   Storehouse in Dublin which attracted 1.7 million  [Music] people this mess here I mean there were   like two cars and us as two bikes and this  is where you could go instead with all the   freaking tourists so yeah that was definitely the  better choice from a small little by road to the   main road that takes along the coastline and the  landscape is definitely changing quite a bit from   from the early areas we've seen to this now the  of be Mountain Top look almost like there's snow   on top of that mountain of course it isn't warm  enough but it's pretty interesting scenery around here also I like it when the um sort of  area opens up a little bit you know the   hedges and all the green we that's  great but you can't really see and   appreciate the landscape around you here  is great you can you can get a good view   of [Music] everything [Music] I've got this  really interesting Rock here it looks very   different to the other parts of the island  that we have seen so far it's really bare but [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] beautiful  the Lake District near Clifton is the picturesque   region in the county gallway it is characterized  by its Serene Lakes Lush Landscapes and   natural [Music] [Applause] beauty nestled amidst  the 12 Benz mountain range this area offers a   tranquil Escape for nature enthusiasts and of  course motorcycle riders seeking remote Irish landscapes [Music] [Applause] we're in Clifton right now from this cute  little town but there's so many of those   smaller places um it's not even a very small  place but they're really busy with traffic [Music] hereo okay so Sky Road is  next that is supposed to be very   Scenic Drive the moment we leave town  we should uh hit the sky drive and very   curious to see what that's all about see  the sky Road it's about at 10 11 10 km Lo [Music] riding the skyroad in Clifton is a  special experience for motorcycle   riders this winding coer route offers  breathtaking vistas of the Atlantic   Ocean and rugged Landscapes combining the  thrill of the ride with the beauty of the scenery the elevated Vantage points  and accelerating t twist and turns   made this ride an unforgettable Journey for [Music] us I'm about 10 minutes out from my accommodation  tonight and because Sebastian booked his   accommodation so late just a week before we left  it was a short notice decision to come along to   the trip tonight we don't have accomodation in the  same location so he has his about 10minute drive   away which is on the route so we're going to say  goodbyes and we're going to have some solo nights   and then find something to eat and then I'll have  to leave a bit earlier tomorrow and pick him up   it's been an amazing day uh lots of variety so  far and we're lucky with the weather I hope it's   going to stay like this for a few more days but it  was a fantastic day see the island oh the pup here   is supposedly the only place where you can get  something to eat if we find it Olivers oliv pop [Music] perfect [Music] it's Sunday morning  I just left my accommodation and this is very   close to where we had dinner last night I saw  the two ships and I'm now picking up Sebastian   who is is located about 15 minutes from here  it's early August and it seems like places   do book out here quite a bit uh at this time  of year that's also what the BMB owner said   um people tend to book in advance and he  couldn't find a place nearby so he just   uh picked the place down the road also I had a  bit of a late start breakfast starts late here   most places like 8 or 8:30 yesterday we left  at 8 and it's already closer to 9:30 by the   time I'm getting to Sebastian's place we got  another 300 km on the clock today and we'll   make our way to Northern Island today so we'll  be completing the wild Atlantic way today and   then we traveling through Northern Island for a  little bit and then let's over to Scotland Monday morning [Music] good okay so we just had a quick peek at the uh at the  Abbey it's quite nice there's a little church there The kymore Abbey and Victorian Gardens is   the home of the bentine order of nuns  and iseland who have lived there since 1920 it was originally called  kymore castle and it was built   around 1863 as a residence for a wealthy English politician so especially on the North  Western section of the wild Atlantic   way we had these so much faster roads  also a better pavement than quite a few   those yesterday and this one here but  they open up and I just enjoy it why [Music] he [Music] nice little town the usual [Music] [Applause] traffic [Music] so we've been on this on these faster roads quite  prob in this scenery which looks so different to   what we saw the first few days when we were  in Ireland and we do now see the occasional   motorcycles on the road not nearly as many as I  thought I would see here but um there are some   coming up and this area reminds me actually a  little bit of Montana us just these Open Spaces   mountains and then the change of s prairie  grassland and just having sort of a few like this check out the cemetery coming up to our   right we're back at the coast  it's like 19° right now it's sunny down pry head is a must sea for sheer  natural wonder purged on Island's Atlantic   Coast it boasts a striking sea stack standing like  a sentinel against the waves reaching a height of   nearly 50 m the rock is visible from afar and one  of the Striking landmarks of the wild Atlantic way [Music] this [Music] we're nearing the end of today's right about  30 minutes from our final destination tonight   which will be a northern Island there's  one more site I think a castle of some   kind on the way see uh how tourist that we're  going to check it out or not um it's been a   lot of these sort of faster roads and all  those are the big ones they're not so much fun but some of the smaller fast for they  actually fun so we'll be Northern Ireland tonight the plorn Castle situated in  the county slgo is an impressive new   Gothic structure perch on the edge  of the Atlantic built in the 19th   century it was home to Lord mount baton  a British Statesman the castle stunning   location surrounded by Lush Landscapes and  overlooking the sea adds to its [Music] Allure so we found this uh nice spot here we got a   good view too the castle and the beach  got Guinness Guinness Guinness and CHS cheers this should be Northern isand if I'm not mistaken from De guys fidd Stone though this the first  time we actually have a proper beer   in motorcycle go close as we usually  do every time we ride but um this is   the first time on this to at the  halfway mark which is today so ch [Music] so we're getting ready for day  number nine we're starting in Northern   Ireland but we'll go back to Ireland  now and then can come back to Northern   Island again um anyway this is the place  we stayed at yesterday um had a few pints   of Guinness and we're having a late start  this morning didn't some breakfast until 9:   so we have to ride a little faster than  usual make the 350 km ride today so it's   going to be long ride for our last full  Day in Ireland we'll be riding from bik to bentoy so that was slea League  Wheeling cool Cliffs very very windy up [Music] here SLE Le Cliffs are among the highest sea  cliffs in Europe rising to almost 600 m in   height which bring them up to almost three  times the height of the Cliffs of Mo while   the Cliffs of Mo are more accessible and visited  by larger crowds due to their proximity to major   tourist routes SLE League Cliff offers a  more off the beaten path experience the   view from top provides all inspiring vistas  of the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding Landscapes so now we're taking some  smaller back roads to continue our journey quite nice actually pace [Music] nice and lots and lots of sheep here [Applause] [Music] [Music] oh 12:30 local time we just saw the first M  St we still have 220 K to go so hope we [Music] [Music] [Applause] go we're back in Northern Island and somehow  we couldn't find a place to eat on the go   so we went to this uh Dy store and this is  all set up for lunch it's uh kind of late   it's like what 2:30 or something 3:30  so it's super late we haven't really   had anything proper to eat so um with  an hour another hour to ride St food reaction was [Music] [Music] as [Music] basically going through uh the dark  Hedges probably known from Game of   Thrones if you guys seen this and it's  basically a bunch of trees and it's very popular as you can see with tourist there  isn't much tourism here in North Island   it was pretty um unspectacular to get  here but this must be it before we else   get all the uh fans of the show having  to see this I mean it is kind of cool   but we're surprised to see so many people  here um they they H them in in bus loads so [Music] D Castle perched dramatically on the northern  coast of County Anum in Northern irand is a   Marvel that seamlessly Blends history and stunning  surroundings the Castle's precarious position   on the cliff Edge overlooking the sea makes  it an architectural Wonder with the history   dated back to the 13th century it has witnessed  centuries of tumultous events adding a layer of [Music] intrigue Giants Causeway we didn't  actually walk all the way down there it   seemed like a long walk for a bunch of rocks and  sometimes I don't really understand um there's   a major major tourist uh Tourism Center you know  bus parking car parking there's definitely cooler   things to see here than this so yeah go figure  doesn't matter so we just had the Drone fly a   little bit high up in the air so we're about a  minute out from our accommodation and this looks   quite nice here especially now so late with the uh  Setting Sun that's very cool so this is probably   the coolest place we stayed at on this trip so  far this is Northern irand and they've done a   lot of the Game of Thrones shots here in Northern  Ireland and they've got this door that's cut out   of wood from the dark Hedges uh which we went to  today and that's the entrance door [Music] here   another be beautiful day in Northern Ireland we  stayed here at the Fon arms which I thought was   the the best accommodation we've had so far but  it's really nice place doesn't look like much from   the outside but the rooms were great food was  awesome we got this whole like Game of Throne   theme in there for those guys that watched show  I haven't only seen a few of those but yeah it   was really cool so Island sh itself from its  nicest side now we're going to check out the   harbor real quick because we still have a little  bit of time before we have to hit the ferry and   that Ferry will take us to Scotland so it'll be  goodbye to Ireland today it's a nice send off   this good weather so apparently they shot a lot of  the I don't know if all of it but a good part of   the Game of Throne series here in Northern Island  so there's a lot of spots here that's probably it   helps the tourism here because there are some  parts where there's hardly any people and then   there's some on S of the top sides where you have  lots of tourists so probably helps tourism here   the dark Hedges are one of them oh I think that  Harbor was also in Game of Thrones we watched   a video yesterday on some of the locations  and that's uh that's one of them obviously   they CGI a lot of it into it so it it'll be hard  to see that it was actually part of the of the show Game of Thrones all scratched but yeah here you go after   seeing all this I kind of  have to check out the show [Music] now [Music] for one last time we get to ride the  beautiful Coastal roads of Northern   Island before we make our way to the  fery that will bring us to [Music] Scotland [Music] [Music] so we continuing on on this beautiful sort of  coastal Road and now we kind of have to hurry   it up a bit because uh we still need to catch  the fery and we don't make it there on the last   minute SO waiting at the fery terminal these  are the last few meters on Irish Northern Irish   ground to be exact Sebastian Spike doesn't start  so we need to try to get it started somehow this is yeah [Music] uh [ __ ] so after a few more tries we  uh we're able to start Sebastian's bike   again not sure what the obviously there's  something off with the switch it's kind   of it's kind of funny um but at least we  can make it to the ferry now hiy how's it   going not too bad what about yourself good  finally that we got the bike started again   it wasn't going to start yeah we turned it  off here and I wouldn't start we tried and   tried and tried and now it won't turn it off  until it's on the ferry you see the stuff you   need on the bicycle motorcycle trip all your  own personal belonging yeah absolutely you're   not car anything dangerous no no thank you up to  the road the top back down Lane number 11 thank you oh there are the bikes here we're not  the only ones there something in the [Music]   yeah there's something in the [Music] air  there's something in the [Music] air [Music] something
